He said our feelings are too intense….
Bullshit!
He said
even though he didn’t choose me that I don’t realize just how deep
He’s right
Cause I cant express just how shallow things seemed
He was Traumatized
I knew he suffered broken hearts
so I carried my Kleenex and crazy glue
nigha I would have swam across a volcano for you
gave you my heart
so while I fixed yours
you would have something to do…
but I wasn’t expecting 4 you to break it.
You said you wasn’t looking for a relationship
So when I fell in love I didn’t fake it
Gave you the option to skate
And you stuck around
Introduced you to my momma cause u wanted to be down
Let you worship in my temple.
Cause I thought you fit the crown
But I failed to follow expectations
so u took away your heart
And left me in my tears to drown
NNOOWW you say you love me
After you let me go
You pushed me out the door
you let me leave
When all I was looking for was a conformation of an affirmation
That I wasnt alone in what I was feeling
Wasnt seeking a commitment
Because I knew wasn’t ready for that
And to be honest neither was i
I needed to know one day
you would love me back
I desired you
Just wanted to know You desired me back
NNOOWW you say you love me
The confirmation I was seeking
That made me leave
Cried for months cause I figured you didn’t love me.
I kept saying to myself how stupid could you be
Im so far gone
and
Now that u have ur new life
With your new wife
And the kid
Its only now
You can admit
That you love me
Its nice for you to join me
But love don’t live here anymore she moved.
In search of a new heart cause she gave hers to you
Broken and dismantled
I had to piece myself together and finally move along.
cause
when I fell in love I didn’t fake it
Gave you the option to skate
And you stuck around
Introduced you to my momma cause u wanted to be down
Let you worship in my temple.
Cause I thought you fit the crown
But I failed to follow expectations
so u took away your heart
And left me in my tears to drown
