You Took What You Needed
I prepared the meal
In the twinkling of any eye
I placed flowers in your hand
That was foolish
Because soon things sank in the sand
We met again and reality set in!
We had some disagreements and
It seems we were finish before we even started!
Tell me, how did you go from someone I believed in
Into somebody so prideful
Taking what you need to feed your purpose!
You said you asked God if you should ask
But did not ask Him if you should leave!
I applaud you
Taking what you need to feed your purpose!
As you burn with anger
You showed your true colours
Your divorce melted the pain deep into your soul
You became cold
I was the one who was bold!
There was so much room in my heart
But things change the second Saturday and
I guess that stems from your divorce!
Even though you were older
You were colder
I never said I was an angel
Taking what you need to feed your purpose
But no worries
I guess I did the same
You view men in a different light
The fight in your life isn’t over
Even though you were alone so
Tell me, how did you go from someone I believed in,
Into somebody so prideful but
I guess that stems from your divorce!
I never said I was an angel
I applaud you
As you burn with anger
You showed your true colours
I don’t like what I see
Because I am no angel!
You are so prideful and
You made your beauty
Turn into ashes when you left
