You're like a speed bump In the middle of a road I want to continue going down. One minute we're high and The next you have me low. I hold on to the times In which you're kind But sometimes, that's only During the night. I want to tell myself I could care less, But the sad thing is I care most. My constant frown is just me Not wanting you to know How down you make me. I want to be the strong one, I've always been the strong one, But strong isn't constant hope Over someone who's already Told me no. Strong isn't wanting someone Who doesn't want to be wanted, Or likes to be wanted but hides In the mountains. You're that cup of coffee I want At noon, And that cup of wine I want past two. But I should run, Because as much as I tell myself You're not, You're that speed bump That makes me feel so high But at the same time brings me to ask myself why?
