A Lesson in Reality
I was anxious to find love that when I finally did
I didn’t really pay attention to who it was with
My standards were low, but my expectations were high
Lost in the experience I felt I could fly
I flew over clues and hints it felt like I was blind
But I kept going onward to find this love I couldn’t find
How I wished he was the guy; how I hoped he was the one
I could see us married riding off in the sun
Oh how I thought I loved him
I thought I loved him so much
Every time he looked at me, my face would start to blush
He told me lies, but those lies I couldn’t see
I was blind; I tell you blindness was over me
So when he broke my heart that’s when reality set in
I saw all the things I didn’t see before but by then
It was too late my heart was broken into two
He had me singing sad songs, he had me feeling blue
I couldn’t give up and I had to move on
It felt life was sitting on my shoulders and it weighed a ton
Then I thought about it and saw how I was free
Free from the drama, stress, and insecurity
I could smile I had my life back again
No more wondering where he was at, no more wondering where he’d been
Now that I think about it, he taught me a lesson
Don’t settle for just any man; wait on your blessing.
