Plus One

Understanding is what we don’t have
Communication is what we lack
But when I tell you how I feel
You ignore me, and turn your back


What is, how is, why is, who is?
This idea of who you want
Whatever Whenever, however
Your idea is me, plus one!

I took the liberty of understanding
What kind of relationship we have
You want me as balance, the good
But what you desire is the bad
There is no need to tell me
What you’re really thinking
I can read between the lines
Six months of knowing me & you’re still not mine

What is, how is, why is, who is?
This idea of who you want.
Whatever Whenever, however
Your idea is me, plus one!

I’ll get what I deserve either way
When the clock strikes my time
Keep acting crazy, theirs nothing left to say
Be gone before I finish my last line
It's finished, we’re through, and I’m done
With the love I had for you

What is, how is, why is, who is?
This idea of who you want
Whatever, whenever, however
Your idea was me, plus one
