[00:30.17] (I just wanna be with you tonight)
[00:35.06] (I just wanna be with you)
[00:39.76] I thought we were forever, that's was a mistake
[00:42.12] You wrote it down in pencil, guess it got erased
[00:44.75] Drawin' on my weakness, look what you create
[00:47.04] A masterpiece of everything you taught yourself to hate
[00:49.53] I had to log off, your passwords changed
[00:52.24] You always tried to run, I wasn't down to chase
[00:54.71] Your trauma made you numb, I tried to give you faith
[00:57.21] You took my kindness and threw it right back in my face
[00:59.51] Ashamed to say I loved you, and it hurts me 'cause I actually tried
[01:02.82] Your truth was based off of lies
[01:05.64] Your love was conditional and mine
[01:08.40] Forgave you multiple times
[01:10.49] That's why I had to finally walk away
[01:13.07] It hurt me to leave, but was killin' me to stay
[01:15.55] The story of my life
[01:16.81] This chapter and page is gettin' ripped out and thrown in emotional flames
[01:20.54] To be honest I don't hate you, this my only way to grieve
[01:23.05] What you want isn't always what you need
[01:25.57] I remember days I'd beg, and I'd plead for you to just calm down and provide me with peace
[01:30.70] Your words used to hurt me, they would bring me to my knees
[01:33.28] Called me pathetic, trash, weak
[01:36.01] So, I got strong, got back on my feet
[01:38.19] Picked you up off the sidewalk, through you back to the streets
[01:40.46] I don't wanna talk about those times that you lied
[01:43.25] Don't wanna talk about those times that I cried
[01:45.99] Don't want to talk about those times you denied all the truths that I spewed that I knew deep inside
[01:50.99] The pressure I was feelin' that was right up to my neck
[01:53.44] The anxiety depression that was weighin' on my chest
[01:56.01] The constant allegations, the blatant disrespect
[01:58.47] The time that I lost, or the money that I spent
[02:01.10] I was goin' crazy, I was a shell of a man
[02:03.67] Trapped in your cage, lost in your maze
[02:06.20] Blinded by love, addicted to the pain
[02:08.54] The highs and the lows, the storm and the rain
[02:11.00] I started therapy to cope, because you drove me insane
[02:13.92] Gassed me right up, then emptied my tank
[02:15.90] So, don't you try to spin the block when you see I'm doin' great
[02:18.51] Or that I'm happy, or I got another woman in your place
[02:20.92] Because I gave you too many chances to understand
[02:23.50] That pain sounds different when it's comin' from a man
[02:26.13] We're not allowed to feel, be real, explain, express, and when we do, we lose the upper hand
[02:31.15] We only have value based on what we can provide
[02:33.71] I spoke your love language, you didn't understand mine
[02:36.23] You pushed me to the edge, played like you were blind
[02:38.72] And then you blamed all of your actions on your zodiac sign
[02:41.55] (I just wanna be with you tonight) never again
[02:46.62] I just wanna be with you
[02:51.87] I just wanna be with you tonight
[02:56.81] I just wanna be with you
[02:59.69]
