Senseless Mindless Lovesick Madness

[KeiaTypeBeat 3277]

My eyes wide open,

your heart sewn shut

I did what I could,

but it still ain't enough

 

Tried all I could,

but still you treated me with violence

I gotta get away,

just need some peace and quiet

 

Give me space

 

Can't believe you'd treat me that way

I know I've made my share of mistakes

Doesn't make retaliation suddenly okay 

 

Things will never be the same

 

Day after day,

again and again

You play the blame game

You never make amends

 

Let's just call it quits,

and go to ******* bed

We get up in our ways

and **** never ends

 

Your pride is all you're tryna save

(Did what I could)

but I see it in your face

(This love isn't real)

 

Do you hear the things you say?

 

You can't ever back away,

you always have to win

You see yourself as God,

you can't admit your sins

 

Time after time,

the months go by

My bruises start to heal,

your tears start to dry

 

You lie to my face,

make me think things are fine

Now you're taking what is yours,

and now I'm taking what is mine

 

This fight you think you're fighting,

baby it ain't even real

You can say that you've won,

but is that really how you feel?

 

You tell me that you're fine,

and I know that that's a lie

Grow the **** up, dear,

it takes two to fight

 

You don't believe your words,

can see it in your eyes

 

It takes two to dance,

It takes two to fight

It takes two to talk

To make it all right

 

We can be wrong,

in our own ways

We've both hurt each other,

we just spread the pain

 

It's a toxic cycle,

we both need to heal

We run around in circles,

avoiding what we feel

 

Let yourself be human,

perfection rots the soul

Admit to your mistakes,

and heal that gaping hole

 

deep inside your chest,

love yourself - it's for the best

You don't know how to do that,

that's my best guess

 

Learn to control yourself,

make the best decisions

You're the only help you need

Listen to your heart, baby, it can't all come from me

 

Love starts with the self,

not from someone else

It comes from your heart

Hating yourself just isn't very smart

 

You say it all the time,

and that's your biggest crime

I've built myself up,

now I'm doing fine.

 

You weren't feeling love, you felt dependence

That'll tear your life apart,

won't leave a single witness

 

We both need a fresh start,

that's how it's gotta be

Learn to love your heart,

that's what's worked for me

 

I'm not a perfect person,

and I've learned that that's alright,

Let me tell you now, it helps me sleep at night

Admitted my mistakes, learned to 'pologize

 

and all it's really done is make me empathize

with that pain that you felt, yeah it's made me realize

all the hate you have spilled came from inside your own mind

 

You had your own trauma too, long before me

Understanding I had no part has really set me free

Everything that we feel is plain and simply valid,

 

but the actions that we choose to make are what decide the process

by which we deal with what we feel:

Do you spread love and peace, or just perpetuate the violence?

 

I want you to be okay.

But I think it's time we break.

We're not good for each other, at least not anymore.

I'm packing all my bags and I'm walking out the door.
