Walking Shoes

I’m tired of you. Back stabbing me and not keeping it true. Deceiving and lying When I caught you, here comes the fake crying The sad bedroom eyes hiding behind a guilty face The phony kisses and the warm embrace What you hide in the dark always come out in the light Sometimes our secrets we thought we hid is revealed in our own sight You claimed you loved me But it’s more like you hate or envy me If you really don’t love me just let me be Everyday I tried, believe me I prayed But I hope you don’t think you’re here to stay I even loved you when you did not love me “So why are you still with me?” So take your shoes and go Don’t tie up your laces so slow Remember I gave you love when nobody else would I even took away your doubts that every man is no good “Shush don’t say nothing don’t even talk.” Just take your shoes and walk
