take a deep breath and as I exhale
I wish to be released from
my clutches as well
But hooks run deep and even when sleep
My dreams just seem to remind me
My yesterdays aren't really behind me
And she'll still reach in and find me
Just to go leave me again
I try to hold on but she's like the wind
I try to hold on but I see she pretends
I know they say love someone blindly
But the visual ain't treating me kindly
And I find myself asking
Almighty
How much more can one heart take?
Can something broken find
new ways to break?
She was my heaven but
for heaven's sake
I did all I could do to please her
But a heart must have like amnesia
She took my soul as well as my visa
Man, how could she do it?
I just gave her my all
Let the walls come down
Knowing that she'd ignore
Unloved like this
Our love like this
How could she do it?
How she just let it go?
How could she do it?
I will never know
How could she do it?
Though she lied to me
I can't do the same
Can't lie to myself and
lie here in shame
So I tell the truth and
lie here in pain
Those beautiful nights we
lied here in vain
But as I reflect there's nothing
I've changed
Besides the day she de
cided to change
Threw us away like
a shirt with a stain
Now she wears an arm
from a brand new man
But it just ain't the same
Just doesn't fit right,
that's what she be sayin'
Once in a while, girl,
she'll reminisce
Slide that old shirt on and see if it fits
We'll wear it for long,
bro, then that is it
I'm left here alone and again,
here I sit
Lookin' out the window,
feelin' like this is
Unlucky guy on a really bad trip
How could she do it?
I just gave her my all
I go up, and the walls come down
I'm a cheated lover
I'm in love like this
I'm in love like this
How can she just let it go?
Then I remember a friend once telling me
Love
I know love, love
It does not wear a disguise
And if it stands, if it stands,
if it will not hide
You just have to look farther,
and not just with your eyes
There's no need to hurt your heart
by telling it lies
If denying that for you,
then you're wasting your time
We ain't wasting your time,
we ain't wasting your time
