If I Was Still Looking Out For You...

On some level
Yeah
I feel love doesn't exist
But then I remember  
Exactly what work is
 
Relashionships
Building on shit  
Mixed in with the good
Can't keep refusing to leave
The comfort of ya hood

Ask for devotion
Waiting for love  
Refuse to come down
From your perch above
 
I mean
You offer no solace, only tears
Leaving them naked
Adding time to ancient fears
 
Ha
Now you wanna cry when they get up and leave
Scream love doesn't exist, but it's nothing but steam  
 
How many times will you step on a rusty nail
Turn around, brace yourself, prepare, then inhale
To plunge it in one more fuckin time and then
Decide love is painful, let's just to do this shit again  
Making the same old movement to the same old nail
Angry that your lovers aren't willing to share in your impale
 
It's ok man
If you want to live a lonely, cold life
Not everyones built for that kind of strife
The ones
Involving rings and things to placate a wife
But buddy
At least choose somebody
For as long as you like
 
And when the tower burns and everyones speaking different languages
You can decide to understand  
Or walk away with ya bandages
 
But don't act like you ever gave anyone your all
Or didn't add some dynamite to ensure the fall
Know people disappoint, and there is always mutual fault
Cause you're lying, my old friend, I'd tell you if we still talked.
