"The Break Up"
When you say you want to "break up"
What exactly do you mean by "break"?
Do you mean break like separate?
Is this break forever or temporary?
You wanna break from talking to me, like
Is it okay if I call you to ask, "How are you"?
Or do you really want to cut off all forms of communication, so you can retake your space?
I want you and I thought you wanted me
But from the sound of you lately, your tired
And worst off you sound unhappy, so maybe it's best we take a break
So you can discover what makes you happy then you can be happy with me
But I thought I made you happy?
I thought all you needed was me
Guess I was thinking selfish
Either way, regardless, do you think of me still?
Like am I the first thing on your mind when you wake up?
And do you battle with the urge to call me at night when you lie in bed?
I know that's how I think of you
I am always thinking about you
That's how much I think
I think you still love me, or at least I hope you do
I hope this break up isn't IT
And you were speaking of moving on forever
I didn't think our time was up
You told me 'Til death do us part'
You said I had a lifetime warranty
Does that still apply?
Even though you're hurt and confused as to how to regain your life or restart it
Out of both of us, I think I got hurt the most though
I couldn't put aside the concept of me and you
Maybe it got crumbled up with the me
I thought this was so good for me
I neglected that maybe you needed you
Now I get it, but that still doesn't take away the fact I'm lonely
And I miss you
I don't ever wanna be like Nas saying, Bye Baby
So I hope this break up is as temporary for you as I try to perceive it
Cause regardless of the hurt
I committed myself
And that's something that even you can't take away cause you taught me all about it
So get over your heartbreak and commit
