Outside Looking In

Lets see, lets see, where do I begin?
Ill start by telling you the story of outside looking in
This beautiful little lady used to treat me like a king
Never really dated, it was more like a fling
I was past the façade I wanted the real thing
But unfortunately being two different cultures squandered our dreams
Fast forward a few months and yesterday you told me you got a new man
Told me you were scared to tell me because you didn’t know what I’d do, ****
Played it cool and said I was happy for you
On the inside though I was drowning in my emotional pool
You tried to carry on the conversation, but I just couldn’t text you
Knowing that you’re in love with another dude
I know I’m getting tripped up over something that never was
But you know they say you can’t help whom you love
I know I’m letting my emotions run deep
Little did you know every night I used to cry myself to sleep
I ain’t too proud to admit that, it was exactly what I need
And now my reality turned into the way I used to see it
You being happy with someone who isn’t me
Now I’m on the outside looking in
At you and your new boyfriend
And it kills me because I know I could love you more that him
I shut myself off from the world, just resting in my bed
This is a true story that I wish I never read
And I don’t wanna say that I wish we never met
But at one point that’s exactly how I felt
