Siren


Vulnerable & scared in the moment so I just jumped in

Headfirst, not a hint of conviction

Should have took time for myself

But i assumed that i’d be denied by everyone else

So i took a risk and accepted my fate

Didn’t realize that that was a foolish mistake

But then i said will you marry me

Thought that it would help to balance me

Seems that that just a fallacy

Here we are some years later

Back and forth like its ping pong

But we playing with a hand grenade

Could have just never said it and it would have saved

Both of us from all the scars on the heart

Unfortunately its just too late now

Someone help cuz its man down

Both bringing out the bitterness

Shooting shots and we never miss

Bullseye cuz we know right where to hit

Said that you would have a baby

Whether with me or with somebody else

Should’ve know right there and then

That you should have been for somebody else

Now don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t ever take it back

Even through all of the pain 

That bundle of joy is worth so much more than that

Was hoping that you’d lift me up in the areas I lacked

Then I would do the same and we’d be right on track

To building an enterprise and a legacy

That was just a hope that ended up recklessly

All of the doubt it just pushed me out

Guess it’s okay cause you gave me something to prove

You still have no clue what I’m gonna do

All of your comments they’ll just be reproved
