Winter


They say you gotta treat 'em colder than December

Don't mind me as I penetrate your thoughts and enter your mind

No definition of time just our vibe tryn'a unwind

I look into ur eyes, thinkin' I knew what you wanted

Not knowin' it would lead to my soul's ultimate demise

See I really like you but I'm also demanding and emotionally famished

So I don't mean to be brash by lettin yu kno what my plan is

I like you for who you are but who woulda known the chances

Of us comin' together like leaves and branches.

Man, I'm the whole package I come off real rude cus I can be kind of a savage

But I'll lavish you wit all the love I can manage

I wish you would just let me give yu what I can

And let this vibe flow while I give without you havin to demand

And just relax, free ya mind, let things go without a plan

And you would've never thought we'd be here from where we began,

See I can usually separate the physical from the mental

But somethin' 'bout you made me feel kinda special

Like I couldn't pull apart the thangs so central

Lettin' my cold heart feel on somethin' so gentle

But like my heart you did me colder than winter stones

Froze to the bone, heart on my sleeve right where the stones was thrown

But I guess that's my fault

You ain't owed me shit but words and false thoughts

Now my gentle soul don't feed on nothin' else but how my heart rots

Now my plan feel like a plot and how selfish of me to have thought that yu'd think about me in reciprocity

Now here I am again

Demanding and emotionally famished

Still needing a man, not a boy that's man-ish

Cold from the damage but

I've been here before, so I'm sure that ill manage.
