Bittersweet Love

It finally hit me. What's understood ain't gotta be explained. I love you.

"Lord, please say she's alright.

If only for this night

just tell me she's alright."

I'll never do this again

I promised to myself

You are my last time

Giving me to no one else

Give me a peace of mind

Chasing after mediocre wealth

Worried about me, yet concerned about her health.

"Lord, please say she's alright.

If only for this night

just tell me she's alright."

Cause she can't understand why I can't love her anymore

Why I don't touch, kiss her or look at her the same anymore.

I never thought it would go this far

Yes ma'am, you were way more than what I bargained for,

I'll never forget those summer days when you popped up at my door

In my eyes you were a friend, but your heart, it wanted more.

Fast-forward a year later,

The situation is s****y but the love's a lot greater

I bet you still feel like you're chasing after me

Working hard as you can just to say yeah, "she chose me."

I know you think I'm an a*****e

And if you had it in you, you'd probably kill me

But I wrote this to break it down so you can understand the real me

The truth of the matter is, I can't find the real me

But since I've been growing older, I'm looking at the mirror more closely

So every now and then I have to drop what I have to start over

Leave what I love in the past to find more love

But what we had is deeper than life so don't think we are over

And as the tears run down your face, I just sit in amazement

"Lord, please say she's alright."

Cause my heart just can't take it

But you said, "No matter what, you're still mines with no title."

*smiley face* I'll take it, baby, I'll take it.
