lyrics

He said time wait for no man, guess man waits for no one
cos I'm on my lonesome, like a lost ones I'm out sprung into a whirl pool of confusion,
but can't express this, or let this, spill out verbally, mentally shut down, cut down till I'm literally dumb, and numb

I guess I need a lesson in expression cos deception of progression hides all of my depression and I know it
I know my mind shuts up and the shutters come down
I've got that poker face over this heartfelt frown
Each moment ticks my heart leaks tears, the tears are never checked
Its mixed with happiness and comfort but countered with regret
Chapter 1, scene 2, wished you were with me, said you wouldn't wait but its a lose lose, catch 22, so scrap that.
Stay faithful, stay true, theres a man that loves you...i can learn to love him back but yet
I feel my heart beat faster for a new lover, though the tempos not enough
Truth just isn't for us, but if God is for us who is against us you say, everybody, including you
you had enemies and frenemies, uncut strings and love felonies,
from lacy to mill, heart made of steel yet a cry for affection is all i could feel
nearly gave you my all, like a love struck teen on the last day of school, last day of term you gave me joy
that joy had no devotion, we stopped in between motion, what a sinful potion we passed around this table of deceit, you made me a cheat, and karma gave me it back and more because i left him to knock on your door only to find there was someone else that you made fall, for you, fool for you. i believed you when you said she was just a friend,
but she saw you with her so i had to let this go, i would't repeat history, all that glitters isn't gold so
Tried to be a friend and smooth things from this diamond in a rough
And all the while my heart Is throbbing for the wrong that I've done again, again
Its chapter 2, Scene 1, moved on swiftly to next one
Loaded an AK up with disregard each kiss let's off this gun
How can I fall into anothers arms, his brothers arms?
Yet to forget anothers past with me, when practically, you were almost everything that I need
Yet I speed off course of course into a buzz source and happened to find some more
But how can I enjoy, when I know I have done wrong
How can I endure if regret surely goes on
My mind can't hack the solitude of self inflicted pain
And there's no words or acts or prayer I can do to start again
two wrongs don't make a right, but they do make you even
That's a recipe for a rebound if you needed a reason
