My baby just cares for me
But he's never there for me
And its killing me, that I may have to leave
See, he has an artist inside him
And it can't be controlled
No matter his choices its going to show
And if anyone tries to limit that
He'll have to let them go
And now we're having trouble finding a happy medium
Between you chasing your dreams
And providing me with my needs
There's a fine line between it
Love that's colliding in a battle over the use of its meaning
You like to label this as my fault when you talk with your friends
Like you've been living with the ghost of the woman you go to bed with
But you need me to understand that what you've been blessed with is more than just an investment
And isn't here to test me
This is so not what I expected, always feeling so neglected
Our love is a death wish, but I only know one way to say it
I love you and wish for you to stay with me
Miss feeling like im the only one
There's nothing more painful than failing at love
Pack your whole life up and cover it in dust
Baby I feel the tension between us growing and your faith in me is diminishing into nothing at all
And that's so disappointing because I've sacrificed a lot to be with you
Never did I lie to you or stray from you
Yet still you look at me like im the bad guy
And me giving you these sad eyes everytime you ask why
And if that's our past why do you put up with it
And why are you in love with me
If you can't hardly stomach it
Its so fragile and I know im distant
You've dreamt of this for years
So you take it by the handful
But now you have to try and choose
Between the two of us
