The Way It Is


I don't wanna talk to nobody else I just wanna talk to you That's right, I said it I'm angry at the fact we can't be together Because in reality, your exactly the person I want to be with I trusted you, I trusted that you wanted me Deep down, I know you still do But you are not ready to be a man Hear what I said...You are not ready to be a Man Not just my man But the man God designed you to be You have been fighting his will And in return, it is impossible for you to balance the scale with me I still struggle with not blaming you But I have my days when I'm angry My days when I just wanna curse at you and put you out of my life Out of my mind and out of my dreams But the truth is, I took the time to include you into my future Into my success But your not at all successful So I fear that we don't match I once wrote, "You match me with ridged corners and I love it" That was true Since the day I met you, you have been full of ridged and raggedy corners But I accepted it as opposites attracting Two different worlds colliding But the collision has left my faith in you totaled You have lost my trust and even my will to fight for us I'm done with the skeptics Done feeling uncertain about the man that loves me Be the man that can provide and nurture me I respect your feelings for me But feelings aren't enough to secure me with the life I dream of
