I agree with LaLaSV18's interpretation but I want to add one thing: I think the reason he broke up with her wasn't because he didn't love her or want to be with her, but because of something else... He says "Trying to do right by you got me here" which makes me think he wanted to see what else was out there but he wasn't "over" her- just thinking he was doing the right thing by breaking up with her instead of cheating. Then he finds out that was really stupid. I don't know, just a thought.
Amazinggg song, but terribly incorrect lyrics. Hopefully this will make more sense:
(J. Cole)
Damn, cold world
I never thought I'd see the day that you my old girl
Now I'm stuck here hollering at old girl
Got one, got two, three, four girls
Shotgun in the drop made her right
Hut one, hut two, told them niggas take a hike
Then it's on to the next, on-on to the next one
Hard to move on when you always regret one
(Miguel)
I wonder sometimes, I wonder if I was wrong
Trying to do right by you got me here
Now all I am is alone
'Cause her eyes, those hips, and that ass
Don't compare at all, no
And at best, all they do is distract me but now
Deep down, when I face it
All I want is you
All I want is you, now
All I want is you now
Now that you're gone, gone, gone
'Cause being your friend was killing me softly
I hear voices
Wondering where I went wrong
It was my fault
And the wrong time, I wonder so often
Regret gets exhausting
'Cause her eyes, those hips, and that ass
Don't compare at all, no
And at best all they do is distract me but now
Deep down, when I face it
All I want is you
All I want is you, now
All I want is you now, sugar
Now that you're gone, gone, gone
All I want is you
All I want is you, now
All i want is you now, baby
Now that you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
'Cause they don't smile or smell like you
They don't make me laugh or even cook like you
Girl, they don't photograph, no they don't sex like you
Let face it, I can't replace it
That's why all I want is you
(J Cole)
I hit the club when you left me thinking that could heal
Trying to celebrate my Independence Day, Will Smith
Baby girl, who I'm kidding
Still sick, real shit
All my new bitches seem to get old real quick
And could it be
You everything these plain bitches couldn't be
Is it a sign from the Lord that I shouldn't be
Lost in the player way, so they get old to me
Got me on layaway, girl you got a hold on me
I say I'm wrong, you say come again
Damn, said I was wrong, look don't rub it in
I got a lot on my mind, got a flock full of dimes
Like a line full of hoes, how they coming in
Just saying
Don't wanna have me, then somebody will
I'm playing
Weight on my chest like I body build
I'm praying
You ain't content with trying to do your thang
Then come back baby, boomerang
That's why
All I want is you
All I want is you, now
All I want is you now, sugar
Now that you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
You know that you're gone, gone, gone
I want you back
