To Love an Egomaniac
I this, I that, baby hold the fuck up
I don't give a damn what you think's going on
I don't give a damn what you think that you know
I this, I that, man you never gon' grow
Swear you never gon' learn
Swear you won't understand
What it means to hold love
In the palm of your hands
What it means to know love
And the depth that it has
And with this knife in my back
I really have to ask
Why did you let me stay where I was never wanted
Why did you let me love you so, why did you never stop me
I don't understand your motive, I don't understand your plan
I wanna take my love back
I wanna take it from your hands and say
Fuck everything we had
Because I cannot call it love when you had never loved me back
I wish that I could call it love but you had never loved me back
I wish that I could call it love
I wish I knew what went on in your head
When you said you would stay
But you never intended
To mean what you say
To make good on your word
And that's where we differ
'Cause I know what words are worth
And maybe that's why you and I could never be
Because I saw the worth in things you cannot see
'Cause I see love in the same place that I see honesty
'Cause I know love lives in words that actually hold meaning
'Cause I know that without trust love could never be
'Cause I know that real love should understand me
And I think, and this is speculation here
That love should never ever ever ever feel like fear
'Cause I know that when I love
All I want is what you want
And maybe that's where I fucked up
But maybe, maybe
Maybe it's where I chose to place my love
Into the hands of somebody who disgraced my love
And man the next time that I am face to face with love
I hope to God that they don't waste my love
Why did you let me stay where I was never wanted
Why did you let me love you so, why did you never stop me
I don't understand your motive, I don't understand your plan
I wanna take my love back
I wanna take it from your hands
And say fuck everything we had
Because I cannot call it love
When you had never loved me back
I wish that I could call it love
But you had never loved me back
I don't give a damn what you think's going on
I don't give a damn what you think that you know
I this, I that, man you never gon' grow
Swear you never gon' learn
Swear you won't understand
What it means to hold love
In the palm of your hands
What it means to know love
And the depth that it has
And with this knife in my back
I really have to ask
Why did you let me stay where I was never wanted
Why did you let me love you so, why did you never stop me
I don't understand your motive, I don't understand your plan
I wanna take my love back
I wanna take it from your hands and say
Fuck everything we had
Because I cannot call it love when you had never loved me back
I wish that I could call it love but you had never loved me back
I wish that I could call it love
I wish I knew what went on in your head
When you said you would stay
But you never intended
To mean what you say
To make good on your word
And that's where we differ
'Cause I know what words are worth
And maybe that's why you and I could never be

I wanna take it from your hands
And say fuck everything we had
Because I cannot call it love
When you had never loved me back
I wish that I could call it love
But you had never loved me back
