dreams sold as a lie

Flowers on the counter, how much have we been through
Thinking back to 22 when price was the issue
Wonder if we met now with all the years that we've grown
Would love feel more simple
Couple wrinkles and different places in time
Couple lessons I know you love to rewind
I shared my energy for so long
I learned the hard way not everyone deserved mine
I've been on vacation, not tryna waste it
Tryna take it back to basics, back to makeshift
Do anything for the bag now, no conversations
When you married you get responsibilities and obligations
Struggling to balance my peace of mind
Memories I never thought I would find
Saving up for dreams money can buy

Running around in circles, you and I
I don't know, I don't know how to help
When you get, when you get lost again
Running back to when we made it work
I can't be, I can't be what you need
When you go, when you go lie to me

Tell me that you care without telling me you care
Tell me that you're here without leaving me there
Tell me everything, I wanna know it all even the thing you know I'm not ready hear
Dreams sold as a lie
My circle keeps getting smaller with years that go by
Friends become strangers I hardly recognize
From birthdays to cutting ties
Not feeling right
How much do I owe you for all of your patience
You just want time and validations
I'm tryna take you across the world and meet all of your expectations
While tryna balance us and tryna make it
We're not perfect, we working on that at home
Conversations go places they shouldn't go
But bad habits take time to outgrow, you know

Running around in circles, you and I
I don't know, I don't know how to help
When you get, when you get lost again
Running back to when we made it work
I can't be, I can't be what you need
When you go, when you go lie to me
