lyrics

I’m getting used to being the lonely guy
Now that I don’t have you by my side
Enjoy my company and my own thoughts
But all I wanted to do was for you to love me like I love you

Do you remember when I wrote you those poems?
Wrote you an album filled with love songs
You never once gave me a present
Looking back I know, you never really loved me the same

Do you remember when I met your family
Your father who is always so cold to you
I could never live up to any of his standards
All I wanted to do, was love you more than he did you

You said that I seemed Bi-Polar at times
One moment happy and the next I’m crying
I was just looking for you to love me
But I could not find it
You just got angry instead

If I could write you the golden poem
That could win back your throne
I purposely fall very short
Because that’s what you’d expect
That’s what you deserve

I wish you all the best and hope that you’re happy
Have your children and name them Jackson
But now it’s time for me to move on myself
Everything is painful when you’re dealing with the human heart
