I was never pretty enough
I was never the one for life
Tried to straighten my hair
Bleached my skin so i could look fair
Took exotic images to send to you
Hoping you'd never leave because I was cool
I got high, got drunk and shot a tape
Lord I hope it wont leak for Christ's sake
**** I was a trip
He road me, I fell in too deep
I'm left with more insecurities than regret
I fear to love the man who will come next
I am but a scorned lover

Torn up once more
My heart shattered on the floor
Pain in my eyes
Caused by his selfish lies
Why do i keep going back?
I guess self love and esteem i lack
I wish he knew his betrayal left a permanent scar
He'll never know my worth and make it far
So I'll pack my bags and be gone
Never look back and start a new life to a place unknown
Theres nothing worse in the world than being in a relationship alone. You love someone but in return you get lies and betrayal

So its just another friday night
Having you in my arms, everything will be alright
Who cares about painting the city red
Knowing you can turn me wild and crazy once you get into my head
A toast to life and a sip of you
Blowing some smoke and dancing all night through
I cant seem to reach my bed so I'll sleep on the stairs
Screaming, 'I still prefer my sour grapes than sweet pears'
In the morning, I look at your empty self beside this weary body of mine
Reminiscing the sweet taste of fine wine
Only drinkers will know what is meant to be understood here

The word love is difficult to define
It's what we feel from deep down inside
We chase it, though it makes us blind
Desire it, though been hurt numerous times
Still, once those tears dry, we love again
So truly like we've never felt pain
Love controls our emotions but our dear hearts will pay the cost
Of falling in love and poor judgment lost
We share laughter, good times, betrayal and lies
Love is, what we feel from deep down inside
How can one define love?

I'm sorry for your pain
I'm sorry I made you crying
I can't promise it won't happen again
Cause that would be a selfish lie
I'm sorry for letting you down
I'm sorry for not letting you be
You are a queen with no crown
You are the strong woman in me
Letting yourself down and still have the courage to pick yourself up and dust yourself off

Swift stare into your eyes
Than turn my head away
I fancy you but im shy
To tell you to forever stay
My heart beats so fast
Whenever im spending time with you
A blush with lust
Bare in arms all night through
My feelings for you are known by myself and nature
Too shy to tell you so I'll just ink them on paper
When meeting the one your heart desires and you are just unable to resist the thought

Picked myself up and tried again
To my surprise it wasnt in vein
In your arms i feel right at home
My life without you remains unknown
Love was a word I couldnt spell out
Yet now I feel it from deep down my heart

Your eyes are my reason to smile
Thoughts of us in my head run for a thousand miles
Babe in everything I've been through
I still have hope in me and you
Trying to fall in love again after a massive heartbreak can weigh heavy on one's soul

— The End —
