From the very day you met the vibe was strong
Questions were answered right
Thank you Lord
For sending me true love this night

Used to feel we were a team
Like you had found a living dream
And no one could ever fathom
The type of love you had found
Couldn’t picture them not around
Cause the connection was so strong
And the feeling was so right
Shoot, everything seemed tight

So you gave all you could
What I have you have
Was the mentality
Never imagined what was happening actually
Cause in your mind the reality was this was meant to be
So it was all good

But the more that was given freely
Hardly none was given back
That negative transfer of energy
Got you feeling flat

Fighting to protect their name
From everyone pointing blame
And at the same time
Fighting against their frame of mind
Makes it hard to see the sunshine even on the sunniest day
And your mind replays echoes of better days
That seem like a distant memory
Taunting you saying “do you remember me”

Like the addict chasing the euphoria of their first high
Being a slave to memories makes you still try
Empty and broken you walk through life feeling vacant
Mentally ****** cause your whole perception’s been shaken
And the more they keep flaking you can feel your heart breaking
Into two, into eight, scrambled like the Harlem shake
You got decision’s to make

Either walk away or continue being prey
And learn how to pray so you can find your way
Because hurt and pain leave a hole
And it takes time to become whole
But that is the goal
First accept responsibility
Cause the greatest enemy is the inner me
So confront your role in your own demise
The gateway to the soul is through your eyes
So have yourself a few cries as your heart mourns
And your mind scorns with each replay
Remind yourself this is a new day

Next, forgive yourself and forgive that mate
Otherwise pain will always control your fate
And make you bitter
Remember hurt people hurt people
Don’t let the next one be a sequel
You are stronger, wiser and finally restored
