[Chorus:]
|
When you love somebody more than they love you
|
Sure you stand there lying pretendin' it's all good
|
Walk away in denial like you'll live without 'em
|
Either way, its catch 22
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
I think of how you lied when you said you chose me
|
Thought I was your woman 'til I found my sanity
|
Used to cry your pain
|
What a cold game, this love thang
|
Cuts deeper than glass
|
I can still remember the exact words you used to control me
|
(Damn it must be good baby)
|
'Cause for years those words were able to consume me
|
Confuse me
|
Appease me
|
Blind me, yeah
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
It's finally clear to me
|
It was partly my fault
|
I can't blame it all on you
|
We both were dead wrong
|
But you were stealin' me (me)
|
Away from me
|
Nobody needed me
|
Anymore than me
|
And it's amazing how the tears fall
|
Water, seeds they grow to be the strength in me
|
'Cause I'm finally at the point (hey)
|
Where I'm ready for the truth (hey, hey, hey)
|
Anything I do for me to make me happy
|
Is up to me- not you, no (no, no, no)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
It's gonna hurt like hell
|
But I'll get over you
|
And I wish you well
|
But I just refuse (just refuse)
|
To give so much of me (give so much of me)
|
'Til there's nothing left ('til there's nothing left)
|
Guess you can't love me baby
|
Like I deserve, naw
|
|
[Spoken word:]
|
They say love is beautiful
|
I'm usually more optimistic
|
Realistically I have yet to see love's beauty outside of my reflection
|
Via the affection I exude for you
|
All of the fairy tales and castles, hmph
|
I mean, I thought I touched 'em
|
Can't hold down with one heart
|
But I'm still optimistic, idealistic
|
Though my eyes are misty
|
I will patiently await and see
|
The beauty of love
|
All my own, all my own
|
