You swore that I could trust you, but it wasn't something I could hold Promising your presence, and yet I walked a lonely road Offering pieces of the puzzle, that were never quite enough With one foot out the door, you said don't ask me for too much You became complacent, considered us a guarantee A half full kind of love, you saw as my remedy The hero in your story, knowing you could tame me when you tried Expecting I was gracious, you held your head up high Now with hindsight in your corner and nostalgia a friend You claim you've learned your lesson, your old self you do transcend Though you're seeking recognition and praise for all your change I sense that inside lurking, is a monster barely caged

Complacent love
You swore that I could trust you, but it wasn't something I could hold Promising your presence, and yet I walked a lonely road Offering pieces of the puzzle, that were never quite enough With one foot out the door, you said don't ask me for too much You became complacent, considered us a guarantee A half full kind of love, you saw as my remedy The hero in your story, knowing you could tame me when you tried Expecting I was gracious, you held your head up high Now with hindsight in your corner and nostalgia a friend You claim you've learned your lesson, your old self you do transcend Though you're seeking recognition and praise for all your change I sense that inside lurking, is a monster barely caged
