Because He Said “I love you”


 

He Said “I love you”

How can those words sound so real?

But feel so fake 

How can those words sound so soothing like rain?
 
But my poor heart is aching in pain 
 
As you twist my words around
 
Making me feel like I’m the bad person
 
When really you the reason why I’m hurting 
 
No relationship is perfect 
 
But in this one...
 
I’m hiding behind a curtain 
 
He said “Give me your phone let check your messages”
 
Looking for other dudes name 
 
Trying to determine if my feelings are still the same
 
He said “Your eating too much”
 
But What does too much mean to him?
 
Curves, a little meat, but he likes his girls slim. 
Ah!
 
He’s has exceptions
 
With other dudes, I can’t have friendly conversations 
 
Without him blowing up in my face 
 
Ready to lose his mind when I ask for space 
 
According to him, I can no longer go out on Friday nights 
 
Correct me if I’m wrong 
 
But something ain’t right 
 
He’s too close, got me feeling stuck, feeling tight. 
 
I gotta leave 
 
Cuz in the relationship I can’t breathe 
 
He then say “I don’t want to lose you”
 
But if you have to say you don’t want to lose me 
 
Doesn’t that already mean that you lost me ?
 
But in this relationship I’m feeling lost 
 
I got to go 
 
Then he say “I do this because I love you”
 
If this how love suppose to feel? 
 
Then it couldn’t be real
 
Cuz being hurt and unhappy 
 
Is an unsigned deal 
 
I have lost myself 
 
And I no longer know what it feels like to feel
