I Refuse


I refuse to shed another tear
Especially over a reckless dude
Time to end it with you
Start fresh with another dude
And pretend there was nothing between us two

You said you're done
I guess you said it for the both of us boo
You say I love you
But you never meant it dude

I don't know why I thought you'd be different from any other dude
Setting myself up for failure
Opening up old wounds
Seems to be the only thing I know how to do

Am I mad?
I'm not mad at you!
I'm mad at myself for trusting you
But I am upset because I allowed myself to get hurt by you

I didn't mean to let myself get caught up with you
Love is something I try to refuse
But at the same time I wanted to share it with you

What am I to do
Luckily I never fell in love with you
Still I have love for you
Thought we would last until it was time to say I Do

Love should last forever
But forever isn't everlasting
Especially between me and you
The feelings I have I keep masking
Glad I never fell for you

Love I wanna keep trynna refuse
But I know I'm gonna get hurt by another one of you
Especially if I continue to look for the wrong type of dude

Protect myself and refuse
Well at least until I find the one to say I Do too
That guy just is not you
Throw the ducez up to you
And say goodbye to the dude I used to call boo
