Conditional Love

You say you love me Like a ticket to get what you want You use your lips like a key To enter me and get all that you please Then leave me And don’t return till you feel it’s necessary I am you gas station You seem to think I am cheap gas But I am wroth so much more then that But my insecurities kept me from moving on They kept me from finding someone new Because I wanted your false love It didn’t matter to me that you only came when you were in need You called me you girl just to keep me slightly happy And it was working I believed in your games and lies I ignored all the signs Hoping one day My body might make you truly love me Truly want me But it didn’t work I was always just your lost puppy Looking for scraps you were willing to give me I gave 100% While you only gave 20 But I didn’t care All I wanted was to hear the words You so easily said I let you play with my emotions I let my heart get broken And I stood there in pain waiting for the day you could finally say you loved me I mean truly love me Was that too much to ask for? I just wanted you to give me half of what I offered you And yet you were incapable of doing that I died inside But that was the only way I could break free From the prison you trapped me in I no longer what you hand-me downs Relationships are a give and take process But you took so much it was no longer even a relationship I was your store And you got everything for free But I’m taking it all back I was foolish for ever loving you For ever thinking you cared But now you have to find another store to steal from Another gas station Because mine are closed down I’m through With loving someone who refuses to love me back Because they’re to busy loving others I’m through with you And you conditional love
