Nothing lasts forever.
Not even the emotions we endeavor.
Especially the bonds we make just to sever.
We've all played the fool even the ones who seem the most clever.
You ever worked so hard for something and it doesn't get better?
No matter how much you pour into it.
The key to their heart is pointless if everyone has their own door to it.
There's nothing more terrifying than sleeping with your enemy.
I can't help but to notice the hell I've endured since you've been with me.
The crimes of passion
Suffered by your actions
Our love candle constantly melts as you light the matches
Love is a funny term to use because that's what we're lacking
The butterflies are gone and I struggle to figure out what happened
Will you ever learn?
Our fire used to thrive but now it burns
Do you feel the lack of peace at night when I toss and turn?
What happened to our friendship?
We were cooler than butter pecan ice cream before the vibe dipped
You were a wolf in sheep clothing exposed by the silver.
Why give a ring for love you can't deliver?
But if I leave you'll cry me a river.
I hate to fight with you.
But I hate more how easy it is to have a night with you.
Neither of us are perfect.
But I've never made you feel worthless.
Our memories only make me question their purpose.
Do you have any shame?
You get such a kick out of mind games.
You were supposed to show me real but you're just like the lames.
You deserve three holes the way your balls can't stay in their lane.
I'll never understand how quickly people can change.
I'll forever find their deception so strange.
Their sneakiness is never as quiet as kept.
I lay next to you as your phone rings every minute you slept.
I'm ashamed of me.
Ashamed of the times I plead.
Ashamed of mistaking you for a need.
Ashamed of allowing you to make my heart bleed.
You want something like a turtle and I'll never be your speed.
You show no respect or remorse when you creep around like a mouse.
Be careful with the risks you take when you see someone as your potential spouse.
I've lost so much of me .. I don't know if it's you or me when I say it's a stranger in my house.
