Jamie Grace's song is a heartfelt message to a young woman caught in a relationship with a man who only wants her for the moment, not a future. The lyrics encourage her to recognize her worth and not settle for less than she deserves, comparing her value to royalty and diamonds. The song also offers hope to those who have struggled with past mistakes, reminding them that their yesterday is not the end and they are more than where they've been. It's a gentle but firm call to self-respect and faith in God's plan.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
You text and call him
But he don't answer
Maybe he's busy but you don't let you mind wander
Cause when you see him
He's always smiling
If you could only forget how he treats when he's not bored
He don't introduce you to his friends
Certainly not his mama
You're too old for playing games
But there's something bout the drama
He don't want a future
He just want right now
But tell me what kind of a queen would trade in royalty
For a one night crown
It's no good to be lonely
But I'd rather see you alone
Than with a boy who wants you in his room
But doesn't care about your home
If he don't want a future
Why give him right now
He says you're pretty
But it's only
When he wants something that he don't even deserve and
You know your value
Is more than diamonds
He's a jeweler only worried about profits
He don't introduce you to his friends
Certainly not his mama
You're too old for playing games
But there's something bout the drama
He don't want a future
He just want right now
But tell me what kind of a queen would trade in royalty
For a one night crown
It's no good to be lonely
But I'd rather see you alone
Than with a boy who wants you in his room
But doesn't care about your home
If he don't want a future
Why give him right now
For every girl who ever needs an older optimist
Staying up late fighting with the past or present tense
For dreamers who have diaries of days with darling destinies
Your yesterday is not the end
And you're more than where you've been
If he don't want a future
Why give him right now
