I'm Not Your Yo-Yo Anymore
I married you and thought I knew you quite well
But your temperament shown through and started to swell
I tried to honor the commitments we made
But you're difficult behavior made it all fade
I moved out once and you wanted me back
I came back but you stayed on the same track
I moved out again this time for two days
You said you recognized your irrational ways
I move out again next time for two weeks
You swore your irrationality you were going to tweak
I hoped the third time would be the charm
But you only got worse in my mental alarm
It's now the fourth time you think I would learn
This time for a year and on my own terms
We begin to date and things look better
We talked about buying a house together
I thought I could trust the man that I knew
You prove me wrong and moved her in out of the blue
She's there for a week you then moved her out
You say she's a roommate but I sure have my doubts
We date again and to my shock
You move her back in lock and stock
A month and a half later she's out again
What's wrong with this picture that you are in
You think I'm a yo-yo for your own pleasure
I don't seem to be anything that you treasure
How sad for you you're so miserable inside
I long for the man with that beautiful side
Was it all a façade you used to deceive
No faith in your heart you just don't believe
I loved you so much right from the start
You destroyed our love you tore us apart
Love with your partner should be give-and-take
You can't give your heart there's too much at stake
If your brand new yo-yo makes a return
Sad for her she'll be the one to get burned
