He gave you what he had to give to get you,

and told you all the lies you longed to hear,

you fell so fast as if you knew,

everything you thought he’d do but,

dramas what you need.

You’ve given what he wanted you to give him,

now you wonder why he’s nothing more to say,

so you do exactly what you shouldn’t do,

and exactly what you shouldn’t say,

but tell me who wants more.

Don’t you think your love far too deeply,

when the attraction that you feel’s only skin deep,

you don’t walk away from the lies love diluted rather run back to him.

You warrant your displacement with the excuse that he gave you,

your words are acknowledged for it’s he that is in you,

but you don’t ever change,

the way you go about this,

oh no he’s the one,

but there you go it’s all amiss.

So if you took away all he had to offer,

and everyone or thing you think he is,

would you want this petty world to see,

how little your big man could be,

and could you ever know.

Sit alone only for one minute,

and in that time justify one thing,

that you don’t have to show no one,

that I don’t need to have someone,

but that’s not what you’re about.

Though you see it first,

and your touch is thirst,

for going on with love there’s more you need,

so look in deeper,

is there anything there,

does it agree with the person you know,

and do you still care.
