When you left there was a gap left open,
endless tears, hopin you'd find your way back home,
feelings that couldn't be pushed aside,
too much history, so much time,
emotions dealt out that i couldn't hide.

Our hearts were interlocked for such a long time,
i was yours and you were mine,
as time passed i learned to wear the brave face,
as i continued to live in a love lost place.

You stepped on my ass because you couldn't handle the heat,
of being in a relationship with a woman like me.
You were'nt capable of makin a commitment so true,
that's when i found myself disappointed in you.

All i wanted was a man that was stable,
a guy that could hold it down,
but you were'nt capable,
material things are minor to me,
it's the joy of bein loved the right way that i need.

My mama raised me to have respect for myself,
never be brushed aside,
or seen as a trophy girl like i belong on a shelf,
i'm an independant woman that can handle my own,
that should be a good thing for mans that supposed to be grown.

But it's all good because i'm doin me,
one day a man will show me he can love me properly.
Keep livin your life in the fast lane,
and hide behind your mask,
i'm content with the life i live,
and don't hold grudges on the past.
