I Wish I Could Talk To You

[Ex's voice] I love you! [Verse One] Yeah, Hmmm I guess I could have learned to love you Replace my sanity With Kotex on the vanity Put up with your habits Reward your anxiety with carats Substitute freedom for a marriage I was quite in love with your odd behaviour and acting out Waited quite a while just to tap you out Thought you was digging Saukrates Came to find out that me and you couldn't wait to get down to knocking knees The first time I dug you out raw!!! Pussy so good I disobeyed the first law Never fall hard for the skin too soft Unless you been through some real shit, beating the odds Yeah But I was still in love with my ex [Ex] Hello? I erased the pain every time we had (kiss) you know Looking in your face but thinking about her It's interesting seeing what we were I wish I could talk to you [Hook: Peter Jericho] We once were What we are Never to be again Now I look back And laugh now But it sure wasn't easy then Loving you and wishing you genuinely felt the same But it doesn't matter now, that was just a thought We moved on I just wanna talk to you [Verse Two] Girl you used to impress me Clean the house and undress me Giving me the sugar like Nestlé Never seen a girl from Jamaica who Came to Toronto and celebrated Canada Day more than Gretzky Big smiles But when I found out about your ex man Being abusive I couldn't understand How did you believe in that? You were nothing greater than a whore Sometimes mental abuse hurts more So I showed you what love should feel like Ice cream dates on a late night Very long talks on the phone When you would breakdown and you stayed downtown When you felt you couldn't reach home I wonder what marriage would feel like You never left me but something didn't feel right Your red eyes were spelling it out And you wondered what the yelling was about [Ex] Hello? I wish I could talk to you [Hook] [Verse Three] We almost had a child But we made mistakes that we couldn't take back I hope God forgives for that I used to look up at the moon, waiting outside your workplace Me and you together seemed good on the surface Til we flew out to my homeboy's wedding When they exchanged vows, I knew I wasn't heading To the same place with you, reality set in I loved you but didn't like the feelings that you let in Insecurity, jealousy, envy, no self-esteem It's like I woke out of a bad dream All the drinking and the smoking and the going out Never mind all the shit I ain't know about I had to free my future Let go of your grip with Kama Sutra Sleep alone and feel like I lost my world My axis was spinning with you girl The other day I heard my cell phone ring An unknown caller calling in, hold up The other day I heard my cell phone ring An unknown caller calling in I wish I could talk to you [Phone Conversation] [Ex] Hello? [Kardi] Yo! [Ex] Hello? [Kardi] (laughing) What up miss thing? What's good? [Ex] Hey, who's this? [Kardi] This is Kardi [Ex] Wow... What's going on? [Kardi] (mumbling) [Ex] Say what?
