The Rebound

I guess I'm just the rebound 
The ball bouncing off the rim
The man that you caught when you didn't get him
You got out of love and got back in 
You think you have an advantage 
But you're in this relationship with so much baggage
Its hard for us to get close 
Because of your former attachment
Expecting me to put you back together after he left your heart in fragments
Man theres so much damage
As of right now I can't forsee a marriage
Some think another relationship can heal the pains of the former
But until you're whole again you can't go forward
What he did, what he didn't do takes you away from what I'm doing and done
Its like I'm dating two people and he is keeping us from being one
So I guess I'm just that ball bouncing off the rim 
The one you're with now while still trying to get over him
