A
woman can’t do what a man can.
So,
why do you want me?
We
have nothing in common.
I
don’t enjoy calling women bitches,
I
would never forget my woman over sports.
You
said that a man is what every woman wants.
Well,
I’m a woman and I don’t want a man,
I
don’t want you.
I
don’t want to be walked over, overlooked, played with,
Or
lied to.
You
said that I would never accomplish up to anything,
Which
is not true.
I
feel ten times as strong as when I was with you,
Killing
my soul.
So
know that when you turn around
I
won’t be there,
And
you women!
Said
that that what you truly needed was a real man,
Why
was it that when he was beating you
It
was me you were running to?
You
said that a girl like me wasn’t even your type.
Now,
three kids later, and a divorce, you now realize that you’re a dyke.
Where
were you at when I needed your air to breathe?
Where
were you at when my tears burned a hole into my soul?
Emptiness
was the kiss I always tasted
Knowing
that they were not your lips.
So
I moved on.
You
said that I wasn’t worth paying attention to,
But
you paid plenty of attention to me when it involved loot.
You’re
a grown woman and I’m just a little girl.
Too
bad you didn’t hang around to find
That
I would stop the world.
For these are not just promises.
I
believe whatever you told me
Because
you said I was the only one you wanted.
But
now I see.
I
can never be him, and you will never love me,
No
not like the way I wish you would,
So
I’ve deadened all the emotions I had
So
that you would be gone for good.
To
both I hope you’re happy for real.
Because
a friend to him and a lover to you is something you’ll never feel,
No,
not any more.
Remember
next time not to judge,
Because
I remember what you said.
