Blame Game
Somebody once told me that pain is love and everything in between
Is nothing but a facade, just something a child dreams
Life is nothing but a bitch whose emotions always switch
'cause whenever things start to look up, she gets her period
Our problems are myriad, nothing's ever what it seems to be
Her silence is like torture, I'd feel better if she screamed at me
Or just had the decency to pack her bags and leave
All this trouble isn't subtle girl, I find it hard to breathe
But I'm a man so I stand on my own two
Damn, I'm a man, pride won't let me telephone you
So give me a call or we're never gonna speak again
And we both know that we can not be friends
Why are we even arguing? I don't remember why I'm mad at you
All I know is smacking you was something that I had to do
I guess I heard you talking to that other dude
And how was I supposed to act, you know that I'm in love with you
And that's a feeling that we used to share
'til our relationship became a game of trying not to care
We're playing cat and mouse, why are you pushing back?
You should know I've never been afraid of some pussy cat
But doll you're my everything
Check the back of my closet, what you'll find is a wedding ring
I was trying to block some time out to make it yours
But our kisses don't start with Kay and I don't want to anymore
So tell me what's it gonna be...
Are you gonna leave or can you just trust me?
It's ugly, to see what jealousy can do
It made an angry man of me and it made a bitch of you
Or maybe it just made us what we already were
And all this shit we're going through is just what we deserve
I don't know about love, I don't know about lust
But they don't mean a damn without trust
