Love Lost

Intro:
Disappointed I gave you a year’s worth
Thought you were the girl that I needed here on this earth
Invested a lot of time, while overwhelming myself
You left me at the time when I truly needed your help

You didn’t want love, you’re just looking for help
Only thought of yourself, you never cared how I felt
Always putting you first, at the expense of myself
But now it’s time that I grabbed my things and left

Verse:
I admit that you damaged this heart of mine
But it was my fault because I ignored the signs
Love is a dangerous game we play at times
I guess me and you just weren’t meant to align

What I thought we shared, had me blind as a bat
Wasted a year of time that I’ll never get back
Now I’m here scarred and rebuilding from scratch
The worst mistake I made was getting too attached

Our foundation gave away and finally collapsed
Another rotten apple that ruined the whole batch
Couldn’t express my feelings without being attacked
Gave you all my trust, just to get stabbed in the back

Gave you my last when you never gave me a dime
Kept it real even when the relationship had declined
Gave you my support when your family turned their backs
Might belittle me, but you’ll never deny the facts

Quick to bash now that you’re easily detached
I did my best to keep this relationship intact
Gave you a chest to lie on, and a shoulder to cry on
The love and loyalty that I showed you was unmatched

Heart turned into stone and now it’s crumbling
Put all of my faith in you, just for you to squander it
You didn’t say the love was gone, before it started tumbling
Blindsided like Reggie Bush, I never saw it coming

When things got tough, you decided to start running
Been through so much lately to the point I started numbing
Freed from all the pain I had hidden inside
From when you looked in my eyes, made promises, and then lied

Wanted to work it out, but I never got your reply
Spent days wondering why, you gave up and didn’t try
I sacrificed and complied, but you wanted to be free
So I said fuck it, cut my ties, then sent you back to the streets

Outro:
Should’ve known that it would never work from the start
Hard on myself for overplaying my part
Now I’m here lamenting over the love lost
And over the fact you ended what we had from afar

Blaming me for how things turned out was bizarre
Heart covered in scars, you left me permanently scarred
I was moving too quick, by letting down my guard
Now I know it’s safe to say we finally grew apart
