Inspired by Drake's Fear....

They say it's hard to change your stripes
Near impossible if you go from wrong to right
I'm tired of being wrong so this is why I write
But lately my hardships have been clouding up my foresight
And the ink's running red; guess I gripped the pen too tight
I'm on that Kid CuDi tip like Day N' Nite
Cuz I find myself alone on these winter nights
Pacing with my pen and pad underneath the streetlights
Trying to figure out how to bring these words to life
So that I can describe
How you are the reason that I'm still alive
That you are why I make progressive strides to realize
What I deserve
And what we were
I only hope that you preserve
The memory.... of us...

Don't believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me
I remember you
And you remember me
A memory so lovely
So how come we can't be?

This discussion is frustratin
Like driving for hours and still can't find no parking spaces
Nowhere to place my affection
Or adoration
Gotta write it down so I don't cause a commotion
Cuz this emotion got me anxious since the gates look like they closin
And my soul is running on empty
Seems like everywhere I turn people are tryin to tempt me
Or push me
So simply, I'm on edge
But still I strike with verses heavy like a sledge-- hammer
So why when you ask how I feel do I always stammer?
Why is it when I ask that question I get no answer?
Guess this is what they mean when they say love can complicate
Just never would've thought I'd be the one to make your heart break...

Don't believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me
I remember you
And you remember me
A memory so lovely
So how come we can't be?

We have nothing to fear but fear itself
But I can't just stop my emotions and put em on a shelf
What happens to love if we lose our self?
I'd rather not dwell
On thoughts ambiguous
Like your perception that my affection is simply just lust
Know now if ever you feel you must
That while my love is not pretentious it is quite ambitious
And for you my last name would be commitment
I only hope that you don't feel any resentment
Towards me and my repentance
No more stone gazes like pavement
While I'm trying to mold together this relationship like cement
I guess my greatest fear is if you ignore my endearment...

Don't believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me
I remember you
And you remember me
A memory so lovely
So how come we can't be?
