I was given time, so I’m gonna take it,
To busy declaring love to even think about fakin.
I was spittin the truth and from the base of my heart,
But the only thing you wanted was some time apart.
To a certain extent I can understand why,
I mean I scared and hurt you but not to try?
To salvage what we had, what we wanted so bad,
Man come on think it makes me wonder a tad.
What you want? What you really want? I wanna know.
I ask you these questions but there's fear it shows.
What was that? Why did you look away?
Did you say something you wasn't supposed to say?
Oh, my bad, you won't hear nothing from me,
But what do you think will happen when it reaches your family?
They're supposed to help you and ask your opinion first,
Show support and love, respect and trust.
Do they give that to you? Did you even get it from me?
I'm sitting here begging you to help me see.
As far as I know I gave you all I had,
My life, my love, gave your kids a dad.
What more do you want? What more could you ask,
Even if I just did the dishes and took out the trash.
I can do better 'cause I proved myself,
I did it all top to bottom right before I left.
And then you got enough nerve to tell me I'm selfish,
Even after all the sacrifices and the stuff I put up with.
Why don't you examine yourself and see if you can find
Just one thing for me you willingly left behind.
When you put on my ring, you put on my heart,
And when you took it off you tore my heart apart.
It hurts me so much but believe this is true,
We were only 5 months away from saying "I do".
So when you look at that ring, I want you to think of me to,
And how much you threw away 'cause now I’m through with you.
