If You Took the Time

If you took the time you'd see I'm the right man for you
If you looked a little deeper you'd see I've got the Right plans for you
Everytime you fell short I gave a Hand to you
But you won't take the time to see I'm the right man for you 

In a world full of girls, how is it possible I only think of one? 
I felt too much, so now I'm in the club to drink myself numb
Tempted to message you, but I deleted your contact in my phone so I can't do that
Thinking ahead, because I still have my pride and I don't want to lose that

I only had eyes for you and my heart's set
So walking away will always be a hard step
You've pushed me away so much, and I haven't got far left 
I tried fixing you, yet you only caused my heart mess

Maybe you just want to have fun
I can't be mad because you're still Young
Due to my past situations I'm older than I should be
I just thought I'd be enough because even in the Worst situations I gave you a good me 

When you needed to cry I gave you my shoulder 
Never did I think you'd stab me in the back when you leant over
I'll swim through my tears because I refuse to drown 
But it's ironic how I come all guns blazing just to be shot down 

If you took the time you'd see I'm the right man for you 
If you took the time you'd see I had the right plans for you
One day you'll wake up and realise what you missed out on
It's a shame you never took the time, because now I'm gone
