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.
