Why her and not Me?


Why her and not Me? What can she give You that I can’t? I have been by Your side since the beginning and yet You still chose her over Me. Why her and not Me? Were You waiting for Me to make the first move? I was being smart and waiting while You were being stupid and fucking. How blind were You to not have seen that My love for You shines brighter than a million suns. How stupid were You to have a hoe underneath You when You already had a woman at Your feet. Why her and not Me? Was I not good enough or was I too good for You? Or did You just want a cheap lay? Why her and not Me? Here I am by Your side in Your time of need and where is she? she’s out doing what hoes do, not being concerned with you. Why her and not Me? You chose her over Me; You threw Your life away for her as I would for You and she doesn’t even care. Now I’m wallowing in despair of my broken heart: But tell Me, is it a crime that I still want You?
