Had your lies wash me over Like a sluggish wave in the rain Beaten yet gave you direction.  Till there was nothing left of me.  Now I hear you say " You too selfish" It's Just on retail, wholesale on you. You're scared you didn't subdue me Cause I didn't put the blames on you It deprived you all rights to hurt me.  And that really hurts you till now. . You remember vividly last I bent before you I had gathered the pride you tried to shatter  Leaving resentment, jealousy and anger.  Cause I'm no disposable can, much less  To a loveless being as you Still wondering why I emit pure bliss Why I give love in exchange for nothing "You only give what you have" They say Doesn't mean you accept everything thrown at you.  Call it pride Call me boastful  But Self worth is the key word.

Self worth
Had your lies wash me over Like a sluggish wave in the rain Beaten yet gave you direction.  Till there was nothing left of me.  Now I hear you say " You too selfish" It's Just on retail, wholesale on you. You're scared you didn't subdue me Cause I didn't put the blames on you It deprived you all rights to hurt me.  And that really hurts you till now. . You remember vividly last I bent before you I had gathered the pride you tried to shatter  Leaving resentment, jealousy and anger.  Cause I'm no disposable can, much less  To a loveless being as you Still wondering why I emit pure bliss Why I give love in exchange for nothing "You only give what you have" They say Doesn't mean you accept everything thrown at you.  Call it pride Call me boastful  But Self worth is the key word.
