I Want You

You tell her that you want to hold her so bad

You tell her that she's pretty

You tell her all of these great things

But did you tell her of that time where you cheated?

What about that time you spoke ill of her?

Did you tell her about that time where you were unfaithful for more than a whole year

 

Did you tell her all of these bad things that you once did to her

Without her even knowing?

You sit around and you tell her how wonderful she is when she’s convenient to you

You sit around when you tell her how happy she makes you when it fits your schedule

 

But if she made you so happy,

then how come you needed another girl to reassure that

How come you needed someone else to do you wrong for you to appreciate what you had in the first place

Why did you once let go of old love just to dig it back up

 

Why’d you love her?

Why’d you lose her?

Why are you crawling back to her

You already messed it up one time and now you're trying to go go back to your crazy idea of being in love with her

Just doomed to mess it up again

Like it’s going to change something?

Because it won't

 

You still did what you did but you know that she’ll forgive you

Because she actually loves you, too

 

She actually cares about  your dumb self

She knows real love

Her love was her tears that she showed me when your name comes into context

Her love was her nonstop talking of you

Her love was passion

 

Your love isn't love

It’s lust

You see her body before you see her eyes

Her beautiful eyes that are wired up to her mind that is connected to only the thoughts of you

 

How could she have such high standards for you?

How do you take a girl for granted?

You don’t realize how lucky you are

You have been given another chance at being with this girl,

make it your last chance

And if you fail,

Just remember that this girl is very special, but she’s not stupid

So your last chance is not try to outsmart her,

but for you to not be dumb enough to think you’ll get away with hurting her again
