It was the principle
Of the matter

I went down to the gas station
To put air in the tires

Turns out I didn't need any

And the pressure was fine

It was just my imagination

Well, I asked the attendant
To turn the pump on

He asked if it was on yet

I said no and put in a quarter
He told me I didn't need
To put money in the machine

Well, it was the principle
Of the matter

He turned the machine on

And I didn't put the rest
Of the money in
Since he said he would
Turn the machine
On for me

But I was glad
I put twenty five cents in
It was the principle
Of the matter
After all

I don't want to be the cause of someone else's distress, when in reality I'm an even bigger mess.

Your eyes are red
The truth is said
Your making death threats
So she won't let you go
So she won't let you go

Savoir,
Your gonna need a savoir,
Save yourself from heartache,
But **** yourself later,
Your gonna need a favour,
Like the taste of flavour,
Save yourself from heartache,
But **** yourself later
But **** yourself later

Your talk is cheap,
Your leaving me
Why can't you see
What we could be
What we could be

Savoir,
Your gonna need a savoir
Save yourself from heartache,
But **** yourself later,
Your gonna need a favour,
Like the taste of flavour,
Save yourself from heart ache
But **** yourself later
But **** yourself later

Failure

The words
escape me
leaving me
wrapped in turmoil
reeking of defeat, and
bitter with anger.
mad at myself,
believing in failure,
Humbled led by the moment
left terrified of reality.
My heart
filled with craters the size
of disasters
mixed in
with disappointment.
Reminiscent of moments
like this.

Day
Life,
its sad.
All of us, living,
day by day,
until the day
we die.
alone one day.

Its like that,
from the very first day.
The second you take you first breath
your clock slowly starts ticking away.
Every beat a heart takes,
another second closer to that day.
We all come to this world screaming and cry,
most of us live our whole life the same way,
never taking in the moment - because it wont always be that way.
We are all so lost in our current pain,
we forget that it one day, it will all go away.
Precious are the moments,
as are the memories - in our hearts they replay.

I need my love, my good love is what I need
For sure,
I need my love, my good love is what I need
For sure,
I need my love, my good love is what I need
And if you share your love with me, a better person I will be

I had a woman but my woman left me long ago
she said,
I found another man, so I won't be needing your love no more
I said,
Please no baby, stay I need you and I’ll die if you go
she just, kissed her teeth, as she walked out, she slammed the door

I need my love, my good love is what I need
For sure,
I need my love, my good love is what I need
For sure,
I need my love, my good love is what I need
And if you share your love with me, a better person I will be

my heart is broken, so broken you don't want to know
For sure
and still i love her, her lovin more precious than gold
for sure
I love her so much this feeling ain’t never getting old
whoever created perfect, used her to make the mold

I need my love, my good love is what I need
For sure,
I need my love, my good love is what I need
For sure,
I need my love, my good love is what I need
And if you share your love with me, a better person I will be

She knows I still lover, even though she act like she don't know.
Now, I’m left here all alone, walking down this lonely road.
Been letting it take me, wherever it wants to go,
where it will end, only time can let us know.

Now, I don’t know if she will ever come back around,
all I know is that since she’s been gone, my world's came crumbling down.
And all I need is for her to love me, get me off this bottomless ground.
Without her in my world, I don’t want to see tomorrow,
I rather die, than have to face that sorrow.
I need her high,
does someone have some I can borrow?
Better to lose myself to the her,
than get lost in another bottle.

I need my love, my good love is what I need
For sure,
I need my love, my good love is what I need
For sure,
I need my love, my good love is what I need
And if you share your love with me, a better person I will be

A pretty face can carry you far
But when the beauty is gone
They will move on

And even though your heart is made of gold
They will see no value
Because they are always looking for the next best you.
Thought this was relevant to the corporate world and also in relationships sometimes.

This struggle inside me
How it tears at my soul
Pulling me towards her
Like screams from a sword

While he stubbornly digs in
Always ready for a fight
Showing off her insecurities
With a masculine delight

But when they both collapse
Exhausted from the fight
A magical moment happens
And harmony resides

Her essence feels so strong
And it quickly flows within
But soon he will be back again
And another struggle will begin
