I think it's time that I let you go
You are of now service to me no more
Crying on the floor as I walk out the door
What more is it that you really want from me?
Is it we?
We disagree on most everything emotional
I just want you to feel comfortable in your own skin
How are we supposed to win if you can't tell me what's on your mental?
Like a dental appointment I sit here pulling teeth out of you from the comfort of your own room
I shoot you a text but you'd rather snap me the rest of your response
Your story can't be captured in those stories you post
What I want from you most is communication
But you speak in subliminals thinking I can read your mind as you believe you can mine
I have to draw the line somewhere
We are heading nowhere because you refuse to share what hurts you
You think it's me that actually hurts you
That I simply can't understand you when really you gave me no chance to
So here I stand taking a stand for my own well being
We are all human beings who inhabit this earth
For better or for worse
You must put yourself first and heal
Cus here's the deal
If you can't love yourself how in the hell you gone love somebody else?
I know she feels like heaven but the demons that dwell inside will never subside until you run them away
And you better hurry before you run her away and there's really nothing left to say because she walked away before you had anything to say
She told you not to play
You must not have taken her seriously
And if we're speaking seriously is it really her fault for leaving?
You locked your heart in a vault and threw away the key
She can't see what you see
What more do you need without giving up your greed?
I pleaded for what you provided
This love is solely one-sided
Unrequired
It's not quite like I imagined it would be
I planted the seed but you never cared to nourish me
You never cared to flourish me and I will not wait for you
It's too late to take me on a date with you
Maybe it wasn't fate for you to meet me at this point
Maybe it was the joint that lit a fire in your soul
Or the way that I anoint you as I slide down the pole
There's just something about me that makes you feel whole yet to me you never told
It just got old and tired
And I got tired of trying to make you feel young again
I will not play pretend and act like I don't deserve better
It's better we leave things where we left off
Speak soft and walk light
You will one day see the light in the plight taking flight
It's alright
There is no right or wrong
Only a song to sing in hopes of what joy tomorrow may bring
