Rico Love – Days Go By
Rico Love – Days Go By Lyrics:
Dinner only, nobody’s home
No messages on my telephone
Just pictures hung up on the wall
Oh God, I’m going through withdraws
Laying in bed with my TV on
But these memories, they won’t leave me lone
I guess I fall asleep, but then again I won’t
Floating in circles, feelin so worthless
[Pre-Hook]
But then the days go by, and the nights gets longer
I thought the craving stopped, but I still want you
Cause when its real it never goes away, it only grows much stronger
[Hook]
As the days go by
Those days go by, Oh uh yeah
Those days go by, Oh uh yeah
And it don’t get easier to sleep at night
Been missing you all this time, as the days go by
[Verse 2]
Who’s right or wrong it don’t matter now
I just need you back some way somehow
Sitting imagining your, your smile
I had no idea, that I’d be right here, Wow
All of the moments that we shared
I’ll give up everything, I’ll buy a wedding ring
Wasn’t prepared to not have you here
Now I’m floating in, circles feelin so worthless
[Pre-Hook]
But then days go by, and the nights gets longer
I thought the craving stopped, but I still want you
Cause when its real it never goes away, it only grows much stronger
[Hook]
As the days go by
Those days go by, Oh uh yeah
Those days go by, Oh uh yeah
And it don’t get easier to sleep at night
Been missing you all this time, as the days go by
[Rap Verse]
Funny how now is the time I decide I wanna be honest
Our potential is ahead, the regret is so far behind us
And all the BS that I was so good at giving you
Was almost criminal, now you sending subliminals
All your friends are defending you, pow wowing against me up in my living room
Running after birds, what a lame choose
Maybe I deserve in my tank voice
Cause all them lames you was curving, Im observing
You giving time to them same boys
I was living ruthless, but the truth is this last time I ain’t even do shit
But like the boy who cried wolf, the time he suppose to win is when he loses
[Pre-Hook]
But then days go by, and the nights gets longer
I thought the craving stopped, but I still want you
Cause when its real it never goes away, it only grows much stronger
[Hook]
As the days go by
Those days go by, Oh uh yeah
Those days go by, Oh uh yeah
And it don’t get easier to sleep at night
Been missing you all this time, as the days go by.
