Spelling out where we went wrong and how we could’ve done things differently. Accepting that we just aren’t meant to be.
“No it won’t hurt you to be alil bit more realistic”
Now it’s unlike you to let me know what you’ve been thinkin
Or how you been wastin time up in everybody’s business
No it won’t hurt you to be a lil more realistic
Why can’t you face it? i’d understand if you were slippin
Now it’s unlikely that you
Could ever be my wife or my muse
That little bit of power that I gave you abused
Too focused on your brand, got you acting brand new
(so now what’s next for you?)
‘fore we let the tension build, just let it release
Thinkin ‘bout your words
It’s like you don’t believe em
Kickеd you to the curb
Forgot I gave the kеy
Pardon me I always try to play for keeps
Told you move, smooth
But you blew it
True
I was true to you but it didn’t matter
What you’ve been after
Never made it any better
Yea it’s my mistake, now it’s time we rest in peace
You left me for dead, way before we were deceased
What is there to save? no leftovers left to eat
Broken China plates, breaking up the memories
You don’t hesitate
Sayin everything you wanna speak
You get geeked then start tellin me we’re different in your dreams
Got me weak
Understand me? capeesh?
How could I ever reach you, when you’re not listening?
Fore we let the tension build, just let it release
Thinking about your words, it’s like you don’t believe em
Kicked you to the curb, forgot I gave the key
Pardon me, I always try to play for keeps
Told you move, smooth
But you blew it
True
I was true to you, but it didn’t matter
What you’ve been after
Never made it any better
(now you’re mad at me like it’s my fault)
(picking up the pieces of your heart)
