This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
This is so all bad, nothin' good can come from this
Sweet but sad (but said), I don't know love ruins a relationship
It will never last but it feels so good, guess I gotta deal with it
This is so all bad, this is so all bad
Got me messin' 'round with you
You got me messin' 'round with you
Out here messin' 'round with you
What you gon' say? (What you gon' say?)
What you gon' do? (What you gon' do?)
Baby if they knew?
I'm a G, she say the pain runs deep
But she can't run from me
I'm in these streets with the killers, thugs, and drug dealers
100 Mil' plus, in trucks with no ceilings
Fuck who don't feel it, I'm feelin' like I'm the realest
Biggest boss in the business and really that's to infinite (to infinite)
What we doin' wrong but it feels right
Can't discuss what we did the whole night
Won't be the last time, on my cash line
Duffel bags so accountant is the past time
And for the last time, I'm not a bad guy
I just like what I like, now shorty act right
Small waist, red weaves
Black car, keep it flyer than them Red Wings
Nightmares, day dreams
She the one, listen how she say things
This is so all bad, nothin' good can come from this
Sweet but sad (but said), I don't know love ruins a relationship
It will never last but it feels so good, guess I gotta deal with it
This is so all bad, this is so all bad
Got me messin' 'round with you
You got me messin' 'round with you
Out here messin' 'round with you
What you gon' say? (What you gon' say?)
What you gon' do? (What you gon' do?)
Baby if they knew?
She in love with the life, champagne and all the light
Chanel sneakers and scarves, I want you to be my wife
We can run around the world and tuck with no fear
G4, G5, whole team here
Call ourselves friends, but we holdin' hands
Got a lot of questions, am I a controllin' man?
I run the streets but I'm well known in Japan
As a G, the boss, the money coming fast
She from a lovin' home, I'm from a troubled home
One bedroom, didn't have a telephone
Now I'm on the corner, time to get my hustle on
Women recognize, and now I got a couple of 'em
Speedin' in the Beemer then I got a Range
She not a side chick, she all in my lane
She a quiet chick, may let her see some things
I'm catchin' feelin's for her, she take away the pain
Got me messin' 'round with you
You got me messin' 'round with you
Out here messin' 'round with you
What you gon' say? (What you gon' say?)
What you gon' do? (What you gon' do?)
Baby if they knew?
Life amazin', wake up in new places
Big faces stuffed in suitcases
Played the hand I was dealt, few aces
Now the bedroom suite is too spacious
Niggas wanna kill me but I put 'em on pause
Broke motherfuckers better bow to the boss
I'm gettin' high, I'm above the law
Gettin' down and dirty, makin' love to her
Please believe in niggas that's still schemin'
But the ghost that floats the 4 Seasons
To love me baby is too easy
But what I need you to do is just believe me
She got the Range Rover, I was cool with it
Been the land, cruisin' girl I went to school in it
Green Goyard bag, it got the tool in it
Every time we fuck I act a fool in it
Got me messin' 'round with you
You got me messin' 'round with you
Out here messin' 'round with you
What you gon' say? (What you gon' say?)
What you gon' do? (What you gon' do?)
Baby if they knew? Wow oh oh
Baby if they knew? Wow oh oh
Sweet but sad (but said), I don't know love ruins a relationship
It will never last but it feels so good, guess I gotta deal with it
This is so all bad, this is so all bad
Got me messin' 'round with you
You got me messin' 'round with you
Out here messin' 'round with you
What you gon' say? (What you gon' say?)
What you gon' do? (What you gon' do?)

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Not too many people have the gumption to release two albums in one year, but as Rick Ross explained on Power 105.1 earlier this month: "That’s how bosses do it, ya heard me?" The MC is prepping for the release of his seventh LP, Hood Billionaire, just eight months after March's Mastermind; and now Ross has offered up a new album cut, "If They Knew," which features production from Timbaland and a hook from singer K. Michelle.
Rick Ross has some explaining to do in his video for ‘If They Knew’ featuring K. Michelle.
The rapper takes creeping to another level in the Dre Films-directed visuals, which features a storyline rappers know all too well. Ross and the singer, who plays his secret lover, deliver their lyrics in the laundromat and chilling on a pricey ride. All goes well until the MC’s main lady discovers a mysterious earring and is on to her man’s cheating ways.
“And for the last time, I’m not a bad guy / I just like what I like, now shorty act right / Small waist, red weaves / Black car, keep it flyer than them Red Wings / Nightmares, day dreams / She the one, listen how she say things,” Rick Ross rhymes, defending his side-piece.
Meanwhile, a slimmed down K. Michelle looks hot as she belts her heart out on the hook. “You got me messin’ round wit you, what she gon’ say, what he gon’ do, baby if they knew,” she sings, showing off her curves in a metallic gold one-piece and a variation of red and dark brown wigs.
Ross’ friends French Montana and A$AP Ferg also make cameo appearances.
‘If They Knew’ is the third single off ‘Hood Billionaire,’ Ross’ seventh studio album, which also features Jay Z, Boosie Badazz and Snoop Dogg.
In the third single off Hood Billionaire, Ross talks about a girl he fell in love with and their gangster ways.
