The Cause

You said we would make it out the poverty together 
You didn't say you wanted an easy life 
You said you wouldnt kiss anybody else 
You said you would accept me for me 
You said you'd always wait too see the Los Angeles seas 
I wanted you too stare at the stars not 
Live infatuated by money 
Life looked like a beehive with no honey 
The living felt more like the undead 
You said you would be there for me 
It was all lies instead 
Your love became abuse 
I havent slept in days
What was the cause of this 
There was no love I see now 
I fell again for the same  
I wont answer any phone call 
Best believe I'll throw it out the buses window 
You need me now when you have nobody 
I am stressed and never begged 
You took my heart and replaced it with 
Payphone cords life never seemed so boring 
I opened my palms that form a light 
Doves fly when I release the pressure 
Red lightening thunders between black and red clouds
