I am left to carry the burden of another
I have done nothing to hurt you
Your ex-girlfriends were the ones who used you and took advantage
we have been together almost 3 years
I have loved you at your ugliest, loved you at your best and your worst
Been there for you to encourage you when you doubted yourself
Yet here i and carry the fault of another
When the fault is not even mine
Why?
Why do you hold this against me?
I have done nothing but try to prove I'm here for you and I'm nothing like them
Yet here i am
Forced to live in the haunting shadows of what they did
When all i have done is prove to you im not like them
Yet...The fault is still mine
Mine to carry and mine to live with
The worst part other then being held accountable for something i did not do?
You looking me dead in the eye and saying
"ever since them, dancing is not fun anymore"
