Carpets Cant Fly

Carpets Can't Fly
i gave you what i didn't have, so i guess that's a negative 

i loved you with love i didn't acquire, so i guess that's why you hate me

NO!  YOU! i laid the foundation for which i hoped we built upon 

NO!  YOU! i boosted your confidence when seen your self-esteem was buried 6ft deep

NO!  YOU! i put my problems aside and focused on yours first

Nah..! that ! call me ALADDIN! ! i showed you the world , but all you wanted was ABU. had i'd known you was chasing a monkey i would have stepped aside and let you fly

GIRL  YOU!
rubbing my belly until it's empty of wishes , now i'm the bad guy . given you my eye sight left me blind and you left me to die!

emotionally beating the dust off my carpet until the thread unravels leaving me with nothing... 

so for what is left of me i slowly begin to stitch myself back together realizing Carpets Can't Fly.....
