perhaps, we're currently facing the final act of our story
with our last convo, I move my things out of your territory
when I only tried to get even, you ignited a fire I had to hose
as they confronted me about an issue you let them in, I froze
as I've lost what I've risked for your benefit, my jar is left empty
insinuating the wrong ideas, the details you left out are plenty
getting scolded by my mom because she thinks I might get sued,
I was only trying to get even from your wrongdoings in our feud
as you denounced me to Josefina, she thinks she's doing us a favor
with your words filled with half-lies, you intend to put me in disfavor
while Cherry loses her temper, it left me terrified as it's not like her
as I face my fear, I explain the ins and outs of what had occurred
from you letting my name be tarnished for the second or third time,
I tell them the whole story while I get an example of a good paradigm
now they get to know that I only request a portion of what I've given you
despite what you've got from me and my blood, I got nothing from you
for so long, Marites thinks that what we are is more than a companionship
was it worth losing this fight to you? a recovering heart was meant to rip
wishing you'd do something, a conflict resurfaced for you to save your hide
from cracking under pressure, the truth will set you free, I realize on my side
