You...


Why am I still stuck on you?

After all the crap you put me through

It wasn't a physical pain

That left me black and blue

Just the vivid memory of you

I still smile just like you told me to

Brush my hair back the way you liked me to

And I kept that first love note from years ago…

Yeah I’m talking about the one from you

I was naive when we hid behind buildings and crap

Then played dumb when you said 

You just wanted to hit

Not a blunt at all of course

I'm talking about letting you score

Letting you have all of me

But hell lets get real you’d already taken the best of me

I thought you’d always be around

But when I turned around

You were no where to be found

And just like that you let me fall into a bed of red roses

That suddenly grew thorns

Love to me now has no meaning

at all

But why is it that when I see your face

I consider doing whatever you want me to…

Maybe its because I’m still

in love with you…
