She said she got issues...
the remnants of a past that didn't last
regrets of the present that turned out to be a curse
aftermath of the storm that wrecked the mast
powering the relationship
resulting in iceberg-like tears
sinking the titanic
she said she just wants to be alone...
and I get it...I do
if you're surrounded by walls,
no one will ever get to hurt you
I understand that sometimes
you just wanna step back and do you
but if you need a bell-hop to carry your baggage
it will all smell like rotten cabbage
...if not attended to
She said all men are alike...
with just one look or one word
"don't you dare!! I know your type!!!"
lookin' on in disgust
so hard to trust
or discern love from lust
for that I can't blame her
to some, life's a conquest
jumping from one, on to the next
She says she needs time...
but baby girl, don't lock yourself away
like you're guilty of a crime
...all we have is today
not asking you to rush into anything
cuz I know I'm no angel
God knows I lost my wing
but I too nurse a broken heart
see, I know, how it feels
with two hearts that are not whole
let us make one as it heals
