Never had to convince others to take my love,
they gobbled it up faster than I could replenish.
Drained every bit,
never once considered that I needed love poured back into me.
That was that selfish kinda love.
But I’m trying to teach you how to love a queen.
I don’t wanna make this tit for tat.
I wanna give you the same 100% you’ve always gotten.
But don’t short change me.
Satisfying me in one area,
but leaving me hanging where it matters most.
Holding back, giving me just enough to keep me holding on.
Your doubt like a fly on the wall.
I can feel your fears shouting at me from across the hall.
But you won’t come closer.
You drew a line in the sand because your hearts been ripped before.
Don’t batter and bruise my heart because of pain you can’t let go.
I didn’t wanna have to tell you this.
Didn’t wanna have to issue the warning.
But my heart won’t let me lie to you,
even though inside I’m churning.
You gotta be careful with my heart.
It beats strong but it has its weakness too.
Just know, the same strength that keeps me holding on, hoping,
is the same strength that will help me walk away from you.
Be careful.
