lyrics

You Always wanna’ know-what you did wrong-
If I can’t Tell you in person-I might as well write a song,
Tell you what level I’m on, how it all went wrong,
Hold On -don’t get that frown on-don’t start

With me till I’m finished an I’m far from done,
My love for you is all but for you ---far from gone,
I’ve had your back since you had one,
Like the boy your dad never had, I was the son,

And you were my sunshine , until it dried,
I was yours and you was mine, until it died,
In the end, in the end ALL I NEEDED WAS A FRIEND,
And you was the one I needed regardless that you was in,

Another RELATIONSHIP,
YOU FORGOT ABOUT DRE-AND YOU LICKETY SPLIT,
I WAS LEFT TO LICK THE WOUNDS AND SIP
WHATEVER WAS PUT IN FRONT OF ME WHILE YOU JUST SKIPPED,

OUT AND OUT AROUND TOWN WITH ANOTHER DICK,
WELL, MAYBE HE WAS COOL, I COULDN’T GIVE A SHIT
ABOUT HIM, AND YOU ABOUT ME, FORGOT,
OR THOUGHT NOT BEST TO INTERRUPT THE PLOT,

OF MY HEALING, YOU SENT ME REELING,
WHO WAS YOU TO TELL ME WHAT I WAS FEELING,
I WAS NEEDIN’ YOU AND I WAS BLEEDING,
YOU WERE HEEDING YOUR MIND, AND MY HEART MISTREATING,

YEAH I WASN’T OVER YOU, BUT I HAD A FRIEND,
AND THAT was gonna BE, BLOOD OUT, BLOOD IN,
You jump, I jump no matter who can't swim,
NO DOUBTS, NO WHIMS, from beginning to end,

IT’S BEEN GRIM BEFORE, BUT IT WAS NEVER THIS DIM,
For a friendship between us, pickins is slim,
If you ask me, I'd probably do it again,
I hope your happy and find a friend in him,

Verse 2
You were so fresh, betta’ than my best breathe, Fresher
Than my morning breathe, after I rinse With plaque,
Brush my teethe and have a breathe mint, You become my template,
Stimulated my mental, I massaged your breasts
And you massaged my temples, Gentle so Gentle,
It was never supposed to Happen, Axi-
Dental, Only lasted a short span
of time, like a rental, Senti-Mental
I was for you, Instra-Mental
It was for two, Funda-mental,
Evidently, Eventual events
Tend to make it messy, let’s see..
Let’s get to the point, the point is running away,
And the point is you runnin’ away from yesterday,
While I was stuck there, left there, Do YOU CARE!
HELLO! I’M STILL HERE! YOU STILL THERE!
Your judgment was not like your Skin: It wasn’t FAIR
And I’m beginning to think what I thought we had wasn’t there,
It wasn’t rare, we just a pair-COINCIDENCES
If it hurts to hear, it hurt worst to write This
Hurt worse to fight for months denying the bites
you took outta my heart,, the strength you took outta my might,
tryin’ to distinguish right, wrong and wrong from right,
Try to extinguish a blaze that still burn bright,
NO I’M NOT ALRIGHT! I wasn’t alright then,
And I’m not tonight, And probably not tomorrow,
And I’m NOT the type, to ask or borrow some Strength,
But the days that followed, left me in a trash bin,
Askin’ Myself- Where the Hell you been,
And all I saw was the white towel that you dropped in.
