You never thought that Karma actually came back to you You use to cling to anyone who was just passing through Dressed like you only shop at park avenue You learned that one plus one don't always make two And that's a tough lesson Lying down in your bed but you're not resting You hate the fact that they exploited you for your affection So you made sure next time to show that your love is a weapon Found one and got to testing You loved it cuz i know how much you just loved the attention But is it really love or really was it self-protection? You're a person but lately you feel like a possession And you know others do the same But all the others wild and you think for you its tame But you've too afraid to see the whole picture frame I know rather you'd close your eyes and let it set aflame But now you gotta choose Tryna find lasting love in one afternoon left you confused You can't have it both ways and that's your excuse Ain't nothing permanent bout temporary tattoos You treat opportunities like it was bad news You seem a little lost but haven't lost your values You've got a lot of talk but you've been living in a vacuum Running from the problem with some brand new track shoes And that's the difference between me and you I'm not perfect but at least I try to see it through Cuz every time there is a road block and i get delayed I think about much worse it would be if I just stayed Lately I've thought of you You've always been the type of person to just stick and move Maybe if you stop awhile you could just enjoy the view Find the kind of love that sticks forever like a tattoo, yeah

How I needed you How I bleed now you're gone In my dreams I see you I awake so alone I know you didn't want to leave Your heart yearned to stay But the strength I always loved in you Finally gave way Somehow I knew you would leave me this way Somehow I knew you could never, never stay And in the early morning light After a silent, peaceful night You took my heart away And I bleed In my dreams I can see you I can tell you how I feel In my dreams I can hold you And it feels so real I still feel the pain I still feel your love I still feel the pain I still feel your love And somehow I knew you could never, never stay And somehow I knew you would leave me And in the early morning light After a silent, peaceful night You took my heart away Oh, I wish, I wish you could have stayed

Countless times I trusted you I let you back in Knowing, learning, you know I should have run, but I stayed Maybe I always knew My fragile dreams would be broken for you Today I introduced myself To my own feelings In silent agony, after all these years They spoke to me after all these years Maybe I always knew My fragile dreams would be broken for you
