"A part of me, apart from me"
I'd be splitting hairs if presented with a basis to compare to thee
And then you'll give me the third degree
About a stranger you thought had made a pa** at me
And so my single decree will soon transpire to be
Just for you to fade and finally relinquish me
If you love me so, then let me go
If you love me so, then know I've
Gone to great lengths to pay my due diligence
Sacrifice to the point of cardiac impoverishment
But I've been a fool for few lesser things
And I guess it's all to soon to have learned anything
Fade and relinquish me, you're not who you could be
Appreciate this for what it is, don't condemn it for what it's not
But if what it is isn't much then you've got to find a way
To mitigate what you've got
you're my sunrise, sunset and all that's in between
that carnal voraciousness makes dawn and dusk your falling knees
On the residual sides, I cast the die
I was always blind, there was no mutual lens
Just endorphins forced with Ritalin
My pretense was sweet, then it rotted my teeth
It started with sialorrhea, now it's k**ing me
I had to lie; to say, "I understand and it's fine"
You're not supposed to keep score, you can't win every time
So f** off with that sh**, I can't change my past to suit this
And I wouldn't be with you, without it, your belligerent tick
