But I Just Couldn'T See

I thought I was the only one for you That's what you said to me Those promises were only half-true But I just couldn't see You're truly divine and surely pretty That's what you said to me But an ordinary rating is what I would receive But I just couldn't see I love you; you're my baby, my honey cake That's what you said to me But all those sweet words ended up to be nothing and fake But I just couldn't see To give me your last name That's what you wanted for me That, my dear, was just a game But I just couldn't see "I'm so glad I got a girl like you in my life, to my hear you have the key." That's what you said to me Later it was, "I need my space, I want to be free." But I just couldn't see You're my first love That's what you said to me But other girls you really wanted to put above But I just couldn't see You're my everything, my whole world That's what you said to me And yet on your shoulder laid the head of another girl But I just couldn't see I adore your innocence, you're incredibly sweet That's what you said to me And in the next breath i heard, "You're bossy and mean." But I just couldn't see Precious poems and love letters That's what you wrote to me But you're only so convinced there's someone out there better But I just couldn't see To you my heart was so true My love, so genuine and new to me, but I learned For you to teach me affection I yearned Our feelings grew so strong Until we did things that were wrong Love brought us together and took us away Or was it you and your hurful ways? Or was it my lack of experience? My going to fast? Not enough beauty? Too young? Too shapely? Not the right shade? Or was it that my love was too deep for you to understand So instead of explaining to me, you ran? Ran...far away from me Showed me a side I thought from you I'd never see But the love is gone And you went too Hurt, confusion, frustration That's what you really gave to me But that, my dear I just thought I would never see. 1/18/07
