If I...

If I look you in the eyes will you turn away?

If I tried to speak will you deflect what I say?

Will I have to fight for your attention when I don’t want to?

All of this because I said I loved you.

If you don't feel the same, I'll still survive.

It’s just how you portrayed yourself, made me feel alive.

See when you actually care you'll be someone's ride or die.

But what doesn't fly with me is just that you’re only here for the ride.

When you hold secrets, do you feel as if your protecting me?

Cause that type of love is detrimental.

That love isn’t meant for me.

I need the love of a thousand assassins.

To execute all the feelings of no self-love.

Because when you love me you love yourself and all of the above.

When you ask me where I'm going? Who I'm meeting? How long will I be gone?

Are you asking because you’re my shield that's embedded?

Or am I all wrong?

Cause you have this rage of jealousy carved in you.

To control every aspect of my life, because you think someone will take me from you.

When you’re loyal that's trust,

When there's trust there's a bond

That makes a relationship of love,

Where respect and humility will never be gone.

Now can you look me in the eye and say the same, Cause we both can’t be the blame.If I look you in the eyes will you turn away?
