verse 1:
I heard you taking your new man to places we used to go
Well, i ain't trippin' i'm cool
Hitting all of the places that i only used to know
Well, i ain't trippin' i'm cool
But deep inside it's hard to hide the truth
'cause the only thing missing in my ride is you
On the real

chorus
I've been playing it off
Like it didn't matter, like i wasn't gon' cry at all
I've been playing it off
Like i had another to replace everything i lost
I've been playing it off
Like a fool, like i'm not missing you
When everybody around me see i'm going through
But i need medicine
I've been sick ever since
I ain't tryna comе off soft
That's why i'm playing it off

verse 2:
Heard you covered your tattoo with buttеrflies
Don't understand, but i ain't trippin' i'm cool
Now you got on my favorite dress for somebody else to impress
But i ain't trippin' i'm cool
Deep inside it's hard to find the truth
'cause the only thing missing in my ride is you
On the real

chorus
I've been playing it off
Like it didn't matter, like i wasn't gon' cry at all
I've been playing it off
Like i had another to replace everything i lost
I've been playing it off
Like a fool, like i'm not missing you
When everybody around me see i'm going through
But i need medicine
I've been sick ever since
I ain't tryna come off soft
That's why i'm playing it off

bridge
If you've been through it, like ya' boy been through it
Turn this up and play it in your ride
If you looking foolish, 'cause we be looking foolish
Here's a chance to put your pride aside
Tell her i miss the way you put it down
Better than anything else i've found
Don't nobody else know you like me
And even though it's hard to see

chorus
I've been playing it off
Like it didn't matter
Like i wasn't gon' cry at all
I've been playing it off
Like i had another to replace everything i lost
I've been playing it off
Like a fool, like i'm not missing you
When everybody around me see i'm going through
But i need medicine
I've been sick ever since
I ain't tryna come off soft
That's why i'm playing it off
