As the last tear falls from my eyes I saw the real vision or the truth
That everybody was trying to get me to see clearly I felt like my
Trust was gone and everything was a lie like a real good dream
Dreams of us having the perfect life but I know it wasn’t real something
That I was trying to touch but wasn’t touchable like air couldn’t feel it
Like love something that was invisible but hit me hard and ruff felt like a
Muhammad Ali K.O. punch I couldn’t do anything but fall like I was
Paralyzed from the neck down and I was the punching bad looking like
Emmit Till lefted confused with no conception of felling anything
Just wanted to know why??? That was the big question to me why???
A answer that’s all I wanted a answer I couldn’t get but dearly
Wanted one The perfect person in my eyes but in hers I was another
Nigga another guy cause I thought she was different a new style
New smell new fragrance but it was the same I was a fool in my
Own game a game that I play for many years and I had lost
I was defeated and it made me realize what was the
Real truth that she lefted me she was gone
