I've been in love before
And before it ever happens again
I'd rather you say that you hate me so I can take it on the chin.
I ain't saying I'll make you or that I need someone perfect
I just need someone to take time an feel like I'm worth it.
Take a moment to understand I've spent a lot of time hurtin
you need to read between the lines cuz my minds written in cursive.
I've been apart of families that hated each other
But I'm an only child always seeking a brother
Now speaking of mothers
I'll never find peace with another
Cuz the only one I had is deceased an still I love her.
She taught me the meaning of what loves supposed to be
So if you can't match that dedication you'll never be close to me.
I'm hard to love, but I'd like to think in the end
That I'll give it back ten fold if you show me how again.
How can I give the world to the person I think the world of?
I got 2 kids so my heart? I can only give you a third of
These feelings are unheard of Cuz I learned love was more than just actions
It takes effort an patience and unparalleled passion.
So before you try to know me just know that I got issues
Cuz I can't love you from a distance so I'm content to just miss you.
I'm in it for the long haul, I'm looking for marriage
But you can't only love me you gotta love being a parent.
