Half Way


- Meet me half way. It don't go like that. It don't go like that. (No no.) Meet me half way. It don't go like that. It don't go like that. (No no.) - Ask me why... I onced loved you. I couldn't tell you why. The past years... They're lost to us, So why do we try... - To hold on to dead dreams! - I'll stick to my night shift mistress, While you go and handle your own business. I'll be back before eight, so we can slug it Out, until I say that I'm sick of It all. And you'll say don't you walk away From me. - I know you cheat! I know you're lying! My insecurities Don't mean the shit that I'm espousing ain't false! - And after judging me, You slap me around and start to fuck with me. - Well bitch, I aint so high and mighty I won't retaliate, And if you keep on fucking with me, I'll do it sooner than late. Wait. - Words speak louder than actions. They cut bone deep like a knife or a hacksaw. - Before the neighbors start callin' Bout' domestic drama En mi casa, Should I remind you bout' the money problems That you caused us. - A couple thousand dollars deep in debt. Six fourty four credit score, Money well spent. - We're in hell... Guess that means we have the luxury of dying twice... - I love to hate you. (Baby) I love to hate you. (Baby) I love to hate you. (Baby) I love to hate you. (Baby) I love to hate you. (Baby) I love to hate you. (Baby) ...Baby... - I love to hate you! I love to hate you! I love to hate you! I love to hate you! I love to hate you! I love to hate you!
