Don’t Try

You, I guess I let my own self down
Thinking that you'd come around, I got better things to do oh,
You won't catch me feeling blue not over you.
You turn your back and let me fall, i'll rise above it all.
Standin strong and tall.

All I wanted was a father figure
It was handed to me a very different picture
Our relationship didn't connect on so many levels
Proud of my accomplishments without your acknowledgement you didn't help me pedal
It's sad cause love taught me to not trust myself
It taught me to believe I live under the shell
Well, I never wanted something to always repel
I'm kinda feelin' I could've done better then dwell
It's the all the talks without the actions
Words are stronger when it's spoken with passion
When your motives are different then what you said
That's when flags are red then I regret it after when it's clustered all around my head ahhh
Hanging by a thread
I don't wanna believe it you're the one who always left
I get it people forget but when it happens again and again
You say you'll change but my question is when?

You, I guess I let my own self down
Thinking that you'd come around, I got better things to do oh,
You won't catch me feeling blue not over you.
You turn your back and let me fall, i'll rise above it all.
Standin strong and tall.

All of everything I've face with you
Ain't gonna happen with my son what I went through
There's a difference between tolerance and having enough
And that's having no trust and nothing further to discuss
I don't hold no grudge, I'm just closer to being done
Don't try make me to take a moment to reminisce of what was
Just cause you say sorry it don't mean it's a promise
They might say good things but what you're labeled isn't always honest
I forgive you but my interest at heart
Is not the same as it was right from the start
So If you ever come to step inside my shoes
You just won't ever understand what it's like to be you
