Words I Say
-M. Stevenson
V1: When it started things were cool
you were interested in me
as I was in you
Then you learned some things of me
and what once was the same
had suddenly changed
and now your hearts broke
from all the lies that those guys told
when you should've simply just
put your faith in me
I only wanted an abetter
the only thing I was after
but you didn't see the forrest for the trees
and now you've seen just what I've seen
Didn't mean to drive you around and steer you out of your way
Please forgive my handlin'
I'm not as good at seeing in darkness as I am in the day
I know it could be damagin'
But if we take this time
to just re-route this ride
I promise things will be okay
if you could just listen to the words I say
V2: Now I'm not perfect not by far
but we are who we are
beautiful faces ugly scars
but you wear a masquerade
of tear stains that never fade
behind designer shades
Liners and makeup
covering all that you're made of
knowing that it's not all it's supposed to be
Take your shades of and look at the road ahead
there's a fork take the left or right road instead
I need you to communicate with me
so I can see just what you see
(hook)
V3: Painted pictures etched deeply within my memories
of the person you once were or pretended to be
and everytime that I see her it's like I start to feel the reaper tuggin'
minus the drinkin' and druggin'
Was this lust or just lovin'
'cause of this care that I'm steerin'
with no side or rearview mirrors
dim headlights can't make a clearance
I don't know
But I'm thinkin' that you probably should've drove
instead of snappin at me 'bout directions
you got me stressin'
You don't have a GPS neither
so why you trippin'
and plus it's gettin' dark
be my extra eyes when I'm slippin'
Though I try to be careful
I get blocks like the next driver
just know that I've been known on the road as a survivor
that's no lyin'
and just 'cause I choose to keep my baggage up front
don't treat me different just because your luggage in the trunk
but nevermind it mamma drop your bags off
I don't think you changed
you just kept your shades on and wiped your makeup off
(hook)
