I gave you my heart, but I guess it’s free,
No matter how much love I gave you,
You didn’t want to be with me.
No matter how much I asked.
No matter how much I begged.
I tried to give you more, you said, “No”,
I tried to walk away, but you wouldn’t let me go.
I tried to leave this behind, but you casted a spell.
I thought I was attacked by demons, I thought I was living in hell.
When I decided to be happy regardless, you rained on my parade,
Eventually my heart healed, and my feelings for you began to fade.
Then I would see you in my dreams, I would see you in my visions.
Is it you? Is it God’s plan? What is the mission?
Because saving my love for you will not be a great return on investment,
So I rather see you as just another man, just another lesson,
And to find a man who will love me back would be such a blessing.
Am I worthy? Am I deserving? Is it in the cards?
Wishing for another man to love me, because loving you is just too hard.
I deserve more. I deserve better. I deserve to be free.
And I just have to let you go, because you didn’t love me.
I would of been submissive, but you didn’t love me.
Sex would of always been permissive, but you didn’t love me.
I would of gave you more kids, but you didn’t love me.
I would of forgave everything that you did, but you didn’t love me.
I would of accepted your kids and your baby mamas, but you didn’t love me.
I would of entertained your need for drama, but you didn’t love me.
I would of fought any woman who tried you, but you didn’t love me.
I would of always remained true, but you didn’t love me.
I would of cut off all my hoes, but you didn’t love me.
I would of continued to go with the flow, but you didn’t love me.
I would of praised your name in bed, but you didn’t love me.
I would of gave you the greatest head, but you didn’t love me.
I would of cooked, and cleaned, but you didn’t love me.
I would of never been mean, but you didn’t love me.
I could of been gentle with your heart.
I would of just played my part.
I could of been your fantasy.
I could of been the woman of your dreams.
I could of been any woman you wanted me to be.
But you didn’t love me.
I deserve more. I deserve better. I deserve to be free.
So I just have to let you go, because you don’t love me.
Maybe the next man will be different.
Someone who validates my existence.
A man who is driven by my love; persistent.
A steady love, a man who’s consistent.
I deserve more. I deserve better. I deserve to be free.
So I have to let you go, because you don’t love me.
