[Verse 1]

Opened up

Ripped off my own bow to stuff I thought I had wrapped

For safe keeping

But I’m comfortable here

Deface meaning

And comfort starts to disappear

I’m well aware of my ex -spectations

That's why I’m disappointed, enraged with bs

Plans broken over molten molds I had thought sacred

I had fought stages of insanity or can it be?

Just to be loving you, baby

Energy pushed in a direction where no one accepts it

Doesn’t get anyone anywhere, just causes more tension

I loved you and hated you but never vented, kept my mouth shut to show you I was capable of standing by and pretending

Since I could tell you as well were about some pretend shit

I admit I was scared to believe anything was gonna last longer than ten seconds

Didn’t stand by my decisions when stressing

And it’s funny how you were the same

Couldn’t make a decision to save the day

A lifetime of strange ways

Mis understood and never checking off the boxes on your pages of success

This should be your belief when you complete stages of stressing

But it seemed to break us and make us into who we’re supposed to be

I’m joyful to know fo sho that I’m now rooted

Filed my life’s foul movements into lessons learned instead of weight smelling like foul sewage

I love the masses and the crowd starts moving

Put my heart into it


[Sample Chorus]

(Didn’t I treat you right, now?) (Didn’t I?)

(Didn’t I give you everything?) (Didn’t I?)

(Didn’t I treat you right, now?) (Didn’t I?)

(Tried my best just to [?]) (Didn’t I?)

I know you

I know a lot


[Verse 2]

A lot of ways that we’re alike

Regardless became less guarded due to you in my life

New view more loving and less strategy, right?

At ease when it comes to a fight between you and me

We brutally pick apart the plot

Sorry I walked into a sharp knife like cuts could stop the kid

As an adult I know you see me rocking it

Can’t you see I have to believe in me before I can treat you like a queen?

I only wish for you to love yourself and share the beauty that resides inside you

A light to vibe to but if we ain’t meant to be then I guess we gon’ see

What happens when passion resides as the ultimate feat

Disclosure in heat honesty within me and honestly I feel like what we’ve built is a big deal

Ain’t just another game spinning the big wheel of chance

Let’s work the plans, teamwork the stance and take life on

We can make love to the sound of music

Experience what we go through and oh well, it was a nice thought

I suppose you ready to go

Another opportunity has you hitting the road

I feel that, pack my bags and put another mark on my soul

Ain’t no GPS coordinates for where I’m trying to go

So


[Sample Chorus]

(Didn’t I treat you right, now?) (Didn’t I?)

(Didn’t I give you everything?) (Didn’t I?)

(Didn’t I treat you right, now?) (Didn’t I?)

(Tried my best just to [?]) (Didn’t I?)
