Chorus: When you love somebody more than they love you Sure you stand there lying pretendin' it's all good Walk away in denial like you'll live without 'em Either way, its catch 22
Verse 1: I think of how you lied when you said you chose me Thought I was your woman 'til I found my sanity Used to cry your pain What a cold game, this love thang Cuts deeper than glass I can still remember the exact words you used to control me (Damn it must be good baby) 'Cause for years those words were able to consume me Confuse me Appease me Blind me, yeah
Chorus
Verse 2: It's finally clear to me It was partly my fault I can't blame it all on you We both were dead wrong But you were stealin' me (me) Away from me Nobody needed me Anymore than me And it's amazing how the tears fall Water, seeds they grow to be the strength in me 'Cause I'm finally at the point (hey) Where I'm ready for the truth (hey, hey, hey) Anything I do for me to make me happy Is up to me- not you, no (no, no, no)
Chorus
Bridge: It's gonna hurt like hell But I'll get over you And I wish you well But I just refuse (just refuse) To give so much of me (give so much of me) 'Til there's nothing left ('til there's nothing left) Guess you can't love me baby Like I deserve, naw
Spoken word: They say love is beautiful I'm usually more optimistic Realistically I have yet to see love's beauty outside of my reflection Via the affection I exude for you All of the fairy tales and castles, hmph I mean, I thought I touched 'em Can't hold down with one heart But I'm still optimistic, idealistic Though my eyes are misty I will patiently await and see The beauty of love All my own, all my own
