[Intro: Kim Burrell]
Do I find it so hard, when I know in my heart
I'm letting you down everyday, Letting you down everyday
Why do I keep on running away?

[Verse One: Jay-Z]
Look, I apologize, often womanize
Took for my child to be born, see through a woman's eyes
Took for these natural twins, to believe in miracles
Took me too long for this song, I don't deserve you
I harass you out in Paris
Please come back to Rome you make it home
We talked for hours when you were on tour
Please pick up the phone, pick up the phone
Said Don't embarrass me instead of be mine
That was my proposal for us to go steady, that was your 21st birthday 
You mature faster than me, I wasn't ready 
So I apologize, I've seen the innocence
Leave your eyes I still mourn this death
I apologize for all the stillborns
'Cause I wasn't present, your body wouldn't accept it
I apologize to all the women whom I
Toyed with you're emotions because I was emotionless
And, I apologize, 'cause at your best, you are love
And because, I fall short of what I say I'm all about
Your eyes leave with the soul that your body once housed
And you stare blankly into space
Thinkin' of all the time you wasted in on all this basic shit
So..... I apologize
 
[Chorus: Hannah Williams]
I'm never gonna treat you!
I'm never gonna treat you like I shouldddddd!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHH OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[Verse Two: Jay-Z]
I apologize, our love was, one for the ages and, I contained us
And, all this ratchet shit and, we more expansive now
Not meant to cry and die alone in these mansions
Or, sleep with our back turned
We're supposed to, vacay 'til our backs burn
We're supposed to, laugh 'til our hearts stops
And then we, in a space where the dark stops
And let love, light the way
And like the men before me  I cut off my nose to spite my face
I never wanted another woman to know something about me that you didn't know 
I promised I cried I couldn't hold
I suck at love I think I need a do over
I will be emotionally available if I invited you over
I stew over, what if?
You over, my shit?

[Chorus: Hannah Williams]
I'm never gonna treat you!
I'm never gonna treat you like I shouldddddd!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHH OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[Verse Three: Jay-Z]
And if my children knew, I don't even know what I would do
If they ain't look at me the same, I would probably die with all the shame
You did what with who?
What good is a ménage à trois when you have a soulmate?
You risked that for Blue?
If I wasn't a superhero in your face
My heart breaks for the day I had to explain my mistakes
And the mask goes away, and Santa Claus is fake
And you go online and see
For Blue's tooth, the tooth fairy didn't pay

[Outro: Hannah Williams]
I'm never gonna treat you like I shouldddddd!!!!!!
OOOOOHHHH!!!!
