If Not Me, Than Who?
You say you needed to wait
So I gave you space
Said things couldn’t happen this way
And that you wanted to embrace
The good things life had to offer
But when the time is right, you’ll do
If not me, than who?
With one breath you said I’m unhappy
I offered you the best of me
You declined, replied Boi we’ll see
The other side of your mouth says something different
It’s easy for me to put the facts together and make a inference
I hope you find what it is you seek
Just a shame, he’s not in Me!
Maybe just maybe I’m not person to be with you
If not me, than who?
Go ahead, do your thing and see where it gets you
Don’t expect me to wait around with nothing to do
I’m young, and there is a lot out there
Separate ways we part, and you not care
I have not control, or part in what you do
If it's not me you want, than who?
