I’ve never been one to travel
But I still carry a load
As I look back on it all
I realize the pile only grows
It gets higher and higher
Till I’m extremely fed up and tired
But now I’m ready to investigate,
To interrogate
Those responsible for my ongoing pain
In my mind, I gather up the facts
I conclude that in order to recover the truth
I must rewind the tape back
Time to revisit the past

We begin with the first suspect
He was a guy who was pleasing to the eyes
Charming and affectionate
I was beyond excited the moment we met
But the true him I couldn’t accept
He was the last person I came to really love
So maybe letting him go was a mistake
Oh well, now it’s too late
Brought into evidence, he repeatedly states,
“That you misused MY trust, so
there’s no need to keep in touch”

We’ll move on to defendant number two
An intelligent, funny, cool to be around
Type of dude
Actually we met up over a year ago at school
Our relationship was nothing more than bittersweet
The more we held on
The more we suffered defeat
But just like Ne-yo and Rihanna
We hated how much we still wanted each other
Unfortunately I decided I deserved better

So let’s go to our third offender
Now this wasn’t that much of a complicated situation
Yea right, no matter how much I tried
I could never get a reasonable explanation
And lets not mention the many nights I cried,
Making me recognize
That he would never change
Of course I never pass up all the blame
But my heart knew I had enough of the games
And after nearly two years of intimacy
He picked her and I became the
Sideline hoe
So that was my clue to go

Leading us to the main culprit of the day
He was always there emotionally from the start
The only one I fully trusted
and originally broke my heart
A person who I shared the neighborhood
I grew up from
While he’s miles away fighting a war
I must succumb
to proceeding self-destruction
but I refuse to settle for what he’s made me become…

This road that I’m traveling on will leave me lost and all alone
