The Inevitable

Mama said “Be a Man” That’s my struggle Can’t live part time I need to hustle I saw her on the corner I was on my way She never looked back So, I looked away It comes with growth I feel the distance Can’t keep no love In my existence Time doesn’t heal I don’t know what does Can’t escape the truth Not even with my buzz I chose to walk away I never said goodbye I was not yours You were never mine It’s always the same I don’t try to fight it I know my fate So, I just split Admit that I was cold I was unfair But you never showed me That you ever cared Too late for goodbyes No time for hellos I loved you in the past But those are just echoes This just seems right To be two strangers Love is war Won’t put myself in danger Call it trust issues I call it premonitions Can’t love you today Love you from a distance You know where I stay I’m just across the street I’m one call away If you ever wanna meet I believe in fate and What’s meant to be Don’t like to chase So, I just flee You can’t force love Base it all on lies I can’t settle now I’ve lived too many lives I run like hell Cause I’ve been burnt I can’t betray myself Or the lessons that I’ve learned If I can mend my wings I can reach Heaven Smoke away the pain In self care sessions I’ve been reborn One too many times Cleansed underwater But I’m unbaptized Can’t bring myself to lie Sometimes, I reminisce I never did you right So, I left you with a kiss If we could try again Give you all my love We can both fly I can lift you up
