Two Sides to Every Story Lyrics
Keyshia Cole
If anybody ever would have told me
That you would turn out like this
Grew up in the same place
Yet so different in so many different ways
And I ain't trying to knock nobody's hustle
I know you do what it takes to survive
But why you trying to get your survive on with me
You ain't gonna get it
I know there's always two sides
To every story
And I promise I will try
To keep an open mind
But there's somethings you don't do
Some things you don't say
You're close to crossing that line
You crossed that line
And I
I don't
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't understand
But I get it, I
Gotta take it for what it's worth
Sometimes it be like that
Sometimes friends out grow each other
It still confuses me how that ones closest to you
Can do things to make you feel
Like the loyalty they say they have is untrue
I've seen money change things
I just thought we were too real to ever see it happen to us
I ain't really want it to happen to us
I know there's always two sides
To every story
And I promise I will try
To keep an open mind
But there's somethings you don't do
Some things you don't say
You're close to crossing that line
You crossed that line
And I
I don't
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't understand
But I get it, I
Gotta take it for what it's worth
Sometimes it be like that
Sometimes friends out grow each other
There's a season for everything
A time to break down
And a time to build
A time to weep
And a time to laugh
A time to embrace
And a time to refrain from embracing
A time to gain
And a time to lose
A time to keep silent
And a time to speak
A time to love
And a time to let haters hate
I know there's always two sides
To every story
And I promise I will try
To keep an open mind
But there's somethings you don't do
Some things you don't say
You're close to crossing that line
You crossed that line
And I
I don't
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't understand
But I get it, I
Gotta take it for what it's worth
Sometimes it be like that
Sometimes friends out grow each other
That you would turn out like this
Grew up in the same place
Yet so different in so many different ways
And I ain't trying to knock nobody's hustle
I know you do what it takes to survive
But why you trying to get your survive on with me
You ain't gonna get it
I know there's always two sides
To every story
And I promise I will try
To keep an open mind
But there's somethings you don't do
Some things you don't say
You're close to crossing that line
You crossed that line
And I
I don't
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't understand
But I get it, I
Gotta take it for what it's worth
Sometimes it be like that
Sometimes friends out grow each other
It still confuses me how that ones closest to you
Can do things to make you feel
Like the loyalty they say they have is untrue
I've seen money change things
