How we should.

Now sit right there, I need to talk for a while

Let me tell you what happened to my smile

It’s a long damn story, I hope you’ve got some time

It probably started back when I was a child.

See my mom had these dudes that never loved her enough

Always in and out, like our door couldnt stay shut

Comin and goin from our lives as they pleased

Like they were the medicine for a pain she needed eased

I didn’t see my mom for the queen that she could be

Cuz no man ever treated her like a queen

Walking all over her like she’d never leave

Even if they made her cry, and even when they made her bleed

I can’t help but think this was the blueprint for my life

Never appreciated women, no matter how hard they tried

I took for granted their love, and only gave back a lie

I always hoped I’d keep love sometime before I die

So I grew up, never knowing the value of love

Always needed more when one is more than enough

Let someone into my life, settle in and try to grow

Always keeping hidden things she could never know

Like sayin I love you and giving my time to someone else

Leaving her at home alone, not caring how she felt

Even when times were good and my smile made her mealt

I couldn’t stop wondering about the cards I wasn’t dealt

Yeah we were happy and things seem to be strong

But I love you ended up being a lie all along

Convinced them all to ignore that something was wrong

Just so my happy life could go on

Maybe some day I can let enough be what it is

And focus on the little things that my life can give

Love can be enough, and it can be right in front of you

Just open your eyes with your heart and see the truth
