CHORUS
Now that the tables turned, you gotta cross that bridge you burned
Now you realize the grass was not greener on the other side
VERSE
Mr. Big shot see you’ve made it 2 the top
Used, abused many 2 get what U got
Had not a care of who U hurt
As long as U gained from doing your dirt
I guess U thought U had it all
Surrounded yourself inside 4 walls
Ego made your head swell so large
That lifestyle was just a mirage
Cause now you’re down on your luck
Big shot by misfortune U were struck
The same ones that you put down
Now you just wish they would come round
CHORUS
Now that the tables turned, you gotta cross that bridge you burned
Now you realize the grass was not greener on the other side (repeat)
VERSE
A family that prays together, stays together
Through thick & thin, ups & downs, whatever
Never thought your back would turn
Never thought you wouldn’t show concern
But you were so wrapped up in your friends
Left us hanging time and time again
Friends come and friends will go
Blood is thicker than water don’t U know
So now you’re finding out the hard way
Now that your friends have all gone astray
Now that the lay-day of your life
Has walked right out of your life.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Suga dumpling, cinnamon, chocolate swirl U were my girl
Did the little things, everything 4 U cuz U were my queen
Thought you the one, my lovely one, U were my moon, my sun
But I guess U got too comfy
What did I do to make U not want me?
Despite the great times and all the laughter
U decided to pursue greener pastures
But U found out the soil was spoiled
U chose the course unhappily divorced
Seen you lately you’re looking so distressed
How does it feel everyday living with regrets?
CHORUS
