parish/perish (my ex)

How long did you think I would fall for the same shit
The words was a little different but it was still the same shit
One day I woke and smelled the flowers
And realized since I was the sole provider
I held all the power
You thought shit was sweet
But  really it was turning sour I can't really blame you for
For your behavior
Because I was the one who allowed it
I gave you the power but you abused it
You took my kindness for weakness and used it
But make no mistake about the situation at hand
I only tolerated this because I truly loved my man
But my man didn't love me
And I never understood why
But the mere illusion of love
Left me completely blind
Nd the time I took out to make you mines was wasted
And all the money I spent I could of went on vacation
And God knows I deserved it
But I can't say I'm mad
It was just a lesson well learned so I forgive you
