i had to set a 2 minute timer as a reminder to breathe
things haven’t been the same since you decided to leave

or maybe i only helped you out by removing myself…

i don’t know which direction to go
i’m not even sure if this rhythm will still flow the same
i’m just praying everything we shared won’t be in vain
i know you like you know me
like we got the same name

i’m still your reflection
mirroring back every piece of you
all of your beauty, all of your flaws too…
why reveal your lies but hide your truth?

you showing me one thing
i’m believing another
you either want me or you don’t
i intend to be your lover

what wasn’t clear about that?

don’t act oblivious to the truth
you don’t get no points like that.

i wish it were all a dream
i kinda wish you just would’ve said those things…
i don’t care if it were ugly
my heart was in this baby girl
you ain’t have to thug me…

i promise i would’ve understood
i just don’t get how you could…
…
just turn your back on me
like i left
all i wanted was to get it right
you went left.

real shit
my love is real
so it will remain
i could never replace you
i will never replace you
another woman won’t do the same
look at the monster you’ve made

i’m tired of all these colors and shit
painting beautiful disasters of my pain
i’m tired of loving and losing
when will i gain?

you going back to your past and shit as if it changed…
that’s strange.
i thought i knew you better than that…
i don’t care how much you think you love her…
i can STILL get you wetter than that.

…just like that.
