Violets turn red
And roses turn blue
Now that I am
Without my boo
I've grown up through the years
Having many losses and many wins
The competition always ringin in my ears
That is where it all begins
People are always focused on the cost
Whenever has there not been a price?
Truly we have won less than we have lost
If we have forgotten how to be nice
Lets stop focusing on where we want to be
And simply focus on wherever we are
Because if it was truly up to me
I would have never let you roam away alone so far
I would have been right by your side
I would have withdrawn from the competition
Yet back then I had too much pride
And an even stronger ambition
Baby I'm sorry for all that I put you through
But even that will never be enough
I know that there is nothing that I can do
To once again find my diamond in the rough
Oh yes your beauty outshines any jewel
But to tell you was hard for me to say
I was too focused on wanting to be cool
So I ended up pushing you away
Yet now I pay a greater price
For not having noticed that you were gone
It's lonely here in paradise
And I'm not sure I want to carry on
I always wanted to be my best
So caught up in all the competition
But now there is a heavy heart in my chest
For having paid too much attention to my ambition
I've grown up now through the years
All of the years I have now been without you
It truly brings me to tears
To think of all the things I wish we could do
These are all the things I would say to her
If I ever got the chance to see her again
But one can definitely know for sure
That she is my inspiration for my hand and pen
Yes I'm not so good at switching gears
I've turned into a person who holds on too tight
The difference is noticeable among all our old peers
Who say that my dark eyes are empty without her light
