[LYRICS] I saw the look on your face
Were you hoping like me
That everything would be okay
Were you thinking we could patch it up
And make the pain go away
[LYRICS] This ain’t you and me
You trippin’ on too much TV
Trying to live someone else’s fairy tale
C’mon baby let’s be real
[POEM] He has a secret place.
That he goes to.
I’m not welcome there.
He escapes to spin his dreams.
(And wallow in his pain?)
[LYRICS] It has taken me some time
To consider
Life from your point of view
I was too wrapped in me
To realize there was a you in this too
[POEM] My life don’t rhyme like some folks do.
It doesn’t gel in rhythm.
It walks a beat that’s syncopated.
It doubles down and triple steps.
It squeaks, it whines, it shimmies.
[LYRICS] Gave you everything I knew how to give
My heart, my love, my devotion
And still I took care of me
But it was not enough
So let me tell you, baby
That I’m giving you up
[LYRICS] Do you know
What it’s like to be a child
Of a parent always in need
To be grown before your time
And not know exactly what you’re doing
