[Intro]
This one's for you
And only you
And I hope your listening
Like really listening
[Verse 1]
My heart roams in the moments before we broke apart
When our souls were one
You didn't play the role of the Bonaparte
Now I stroll by my lone, in this cold apartment
'Til the world departed
Asking how I could be so retarded to believe your whole hearted
My current disdain towards you
Comes from what this pain is
You stain, my outlook on love
But feel your beat in stainless[?]
That's shameless, now my brain and heart are both in cages
My sweet act you put on easy like shoes lackin' laces
I said that to say this, I hope you found it entertaining
You played with my thoughts with action or words that you were saying
I'm just saying, you portrayed yourself to be someone you aren't
Which pains me, cause for you I would have traveled the farthest
This feelings the hardest, but I still manage to harness
The strength to overcome this and show it through being an artist
I admit, though I should view you as an enemy
I can't, cause you left me with great memories
[Interlude]
I find myself rewinding to when times were better
Love the nostalgia so much, I can't get my mind together
The harsh reality is most moments don't last forever
Our moments' so shattered, that they'll never be put back together
[Verse 2]
Your father said he hated my guts
And for some reason I swear that your mother wanted my nuts
Your brother thought I was cool and with the words that I'm touched
Then when I sprained my ankle blade, and y'all were there as my crutch
All in all amongst you all, though emotions were mixed
It was fine to deal with, just to know I exist
I admit, well now your hurt, I'm too stubborn to admit to a hospital
And that always caused for you to trip
But those same stubborn mannerisms caused for us to meet women
Who've dropped me on nails, and I've walked off with bleeding feet
This wasn't a joke to me, with you always never an actor
Had I not have been discovered, you wouldn't have been a factor
You don't realize the place that you held, in my chest
Your fragrance became my favorite of smells
Lest we forget when we discussed getting tattoos
That's still happening, only difference, it's sans-you
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
I said once a broken heart speaks viciousness
Scream in the moment, it shattered to all listening
But for some reason it's hushed because ya listening
And ya family's taking notice, so as y'all listening
I want y'all to know I'm not at fault for the pain
I'm not at fault for the grey skies, at fault coming rain
I'm not at fault for trauma caused and X'd the current day
I'm not at fault for the fall of us and heart bound strains, it's her
But y'all don't see it, cuz it's normally the man
It's normally he before her, it's he who should be damned
So this comes off as taboo and it's hard for you to live with
Cuz your princess of a daughter, has the morals of a villain
But I won't complain, or wish for her a plague, cuz my mind rewind to days of her, leaving me amazed
It remains, so although she and I weren't adding up, it still equals me falling in love with nostalgia
[Interlude]
[Outro]
I find myself rewinding to when times were better
Love the nostalgia so much, I can't get my mind together
Everything ends, yes everything stops
Even you, even I, even paper and clocks
I love you
