I and You


When I looked in you eyes no one could tell me about your lies,

sometimes  I tried to come to an understanding,

but you bragged and boast, got mad the most,

I couldn't stand it,

wasn't forcing you to change,

wasn't running no games,

just wanted what a million other lovers had of the same,

no more nights of the stress and the fights,

getting old now just want to live my life,

in your eyes led my own world

in your lies led a cold world,

to my demise my friends ostracized,

I was left now, with no one by my side,

started to prioritize,

what was best for I,

you that I would say you,

but everyone knows you comes after I
