I Needed You that Night

I’m tired of everything

Tired of not being able to sleep

Living through hardships that put a man in the ground so deep;

Losing everything he thought of in the matter of days

Man it’s funny how life works these ways;

Hearing that your little one will not be born

Right after a loss that already had your mind and heart torn;

Making me not being able to talk for a couple of weeks

Almost felt as if my heart had an ongoing leak;

But was this all destiny

The girl left me right after our trip to disney;

Silly me thinking this was meant to be

Foolish enough to think you were the one for me;

Finally here on this stage I’ll let it all out

In front of these people who don’t know me even if I begin to shout;

Telling them everything we did

Man what the hell was I thinking;

But i’m not gonna lie you were my everything

But on september 17th you left me for some whiskey and college “things”;

Funny how your nephew called me “ti”

I’m not gonna lie I miss the little man

He was almost like the little brother I never had;

But little will he know his aunt was the one to mess it all up

Forgetting about the young man who gave it all up

A summer, a life, man she even knew my friends hated me at some point in time

But that’s on me i traded my boys for a devil in a woman’s jeans;

I still feel hurt because I can’t seem to forget about the stupid promise ring

But maybe some other girl will not take advantage of me;

I find it so funny how you still text me

Like please give me my tennis shorts back and stay away from me;

I can care very little of what happens to you

You literally cared less of me when the paramedics came that night too;

Going out to a party and leaving me alone

Little did you know my blood pressure what at a hundred and sixty two;
At that was the last night you heard of me
Because since then we were through;
But im not gonna lie I really needed you.
