The Scar

Love what we have and go through
Nothing can compare to the way I feel about you
Math never changes one plus one will always equal two
You marked me like a tattoo
It’s crazy how much I am willing to pursue

This relationship is nothing but funny
No baby you’re no longer sweet like honey
And I never did want your money
And don’t try to shine the light on us like it’s sunny
The sun is gone and the clouds rolled in
You told me I can trust you from within 
Maybe that’s the person you should have been

I wouldn’t have done the things I did if I didn’t care
I was foolish to see that love was never there
Now because of you around my heart it says beware
Only thing I have to fall back on is the Lord’s Prayer

You were the first I committed to
I gave you the report and I received such a good review
Little did I know you didn’t want to stand by my side you just wanted to pass through
Our relationship fell apart and I can’t even press undo
Why couldn’t I see something that was so untrue
You’re no longer on the list of something to do

I wouldn’t have fought for you the way I did if you didn’t mean something to me
You told me our love was deeper than the sea
Was that something of the heart or did your mind just agree
I am bleeding on the floor can’t you see
I was foolish and finally I set you free

We should have did this already
We knew this relationship wasn’t steady
Yet we sat there with a pretend smile on our face
Looking at you praying ill be able to erase
You think you are so special just know you one second from being replaced

Sadly I still got love for you which is so bizarre
I am the one who got burned but the barley lit cigar
I must push you away to a place ever so far
Yet we didn’t put out the cigar and it is still burning
And the burn is turning into a scar
