not what it seems


it was all good last year

turns out stuff don't last

the girl i loved turned out to have a past

a past i won't forget

her past had dealt with men

sometimes i think to myself and try to comprehend 

but things are not what it seems

we was happy together 

told her she was my forever

she was my ride or die

if someone offended her it was hurting my pride

but i cared for her

spoil her like no other

thinking she was the one

turns out she was just a numb

numb in my heart that could not get away from

turns out that loves hurt like my momma said

but the phrase their are other fishes out in the sea that my father use to tell me

but everything is not what it seems

she was apart of me

supported all of her needs

 turns out it was not good enough for her

all the lies she said caught me

but i fooled

i feel as i was a used worn out tool

only use for a certain amount of time

but like my mom said love does not last.
