Damaged Goods
How to love somebody when you're damaged?
Where's the dummy book for it? (Where is it)
Lecture me the 101 (101)
& Let's have a one on one (One on One)
Opportunities blown when true colors are shown
Holding on to your past acting like I'm a clone
Living a glass house and you throwing stones
Always on the defense when you in a zone
Mistakes repeated are decisions made
Where learning leaves & repetition stays
How you expect me to eat the candy if I found the wrapper open
How you say you love my family but don't show emotion
I be dumbfounded like I lost my intellect
And when I check you, you act like you been correct
Two wrongs don't make it right
Two lefts don't make a right
Us at odds makes me write
Once rotten it can't go ripe
How can I be good?
If bad is all I know
Sometimes I feel I should
I'm learning to let go
Lightning don't strike twice but thunder does strike fear
All these lights might blind, how can we see clear?
Clouded judgement determined by the trail of tears
An adjustment to be made only when they appear
Bring flowers to me now not at my funeral (No funeral)
In other words love me now life is beautiful (So beautiful)
But how can you love when love for yourself is barricaded by the very thought of loving yourself
How can I be good?
If bad is all I know
Sometimes I feel I should
I'm learning to let go
Pages out our book
Like we got the recipe but never learned to cook
We communicated never understood
We just duplicated every open wound
Peeling scabs off every scar and cut, look
Healing takes it time but it's never quick enough
So we leaned on each other traded a crutch for crutch
We was on fire went from ashes to dust
How can I be good?
If bad is all I know
Sometimes I feel I should
I'm learning to let go
So beautiful
