there's boxes in the corner
of the home we used to occupy
last time i checked it was your turn to take out the trash
why can't you do anything i ask?
you would say it's because i nag too much
or i do things a certain way you don't like
well honey that's what a relationship is
you have to compromise
but it's past due, like my feelings for you
i tried and i tried and how much more could i?
you won't even look my way, say my name,
we've been locked in for over a decade
yet, i'm probably a ghost in your space
how many times do i have to make myself known?
it's really the simple things in life that you don't let go
cause if our roles were reversed, i would've walked out that door
but i wouldn't want to explore
any other woman that came my way
i’d be so excited to come back and see your face
but i'm the way i am right now and
you still drag me down
but it's past due, like my feelings for you
i tried and i tried and how much more could i?
you won't even look my way, say my name,
we've been locked in for over a decade
yet, i'm probably a ghost in your space
and how much more can i give?
when you constantly treat me like shit?
i don't know how to love someone who doesn't know how to love themselves
i'm done draining my mental health
i don't need to thank you for anything
cause you give me nothing
and if the day comes when you can finally learn to love me again
maybe you can come back to bed
but it's past due, like my feelings for you
i tried and i tried and how much more could i?
you won't even look my way, say my name,
we've been locked in for over a decade
yet, i'm probably a ghost in your space
(huff)
