We Could've Been Dope

You would've been perfect if you just kept your mouth shut
or so I would have led myself to believe that you were perfect.
We could've been dope.
Or so I would have led myself to believe.
It was all a dream,
But I thought it was reality.
Confusing my brain,
and tricking my mind into believing,
that the time spent with you,
was all I needed to get by.

But it wasn't.
You were selfish and I was foolish.
A fool in love.
No, more like lust.
This fragile heart,
you never got to touch.
But my body,
That was yours.
I gave it to you willingly.
Thinking that was all you'd ever need.
And it was, or so it seemed.
But I wanted more.
That's just how I am.
I wanted more
and so you ran,
away from me.
I could never make you stay.
Even now,
I can't stand to have you near me,
because it's like you're still far away.
I don't blame you anymore.
It's a good thing that I walked out the door.
Cause you could never give me everything I wanted.
And I could never be what you wanted me to be.
