Long Live Our Love

This a love letter to you baby
It's been so long since we spoke lately
I remember when you used to check up on the daily
But now you look at me very strangely
And I don't understand I kept you safely
Wrapped up in my arms
There's no harm in wanting love
I want your love everyday
Like the stars up above
And although you had it rough
I want to take your pain away
I want to carry all the weight
I'm gonna give it to you straight
You're beautiful inside
You're worth the wait
I just leave it up to God
He knows our fate
I keep you close to me
I'm never afraid
If I could trade
All the blessings in my life
I would do it
I don't understand what I been doing
Who am I fooling
I just push you away
I make the same mistakes
And I tell you everyday
That I'm always gon' change
Just to turn around and do the same
And I'm the only one to blame
I was playing games
Playing with your love like spades
I should be taking you out on dates
I should be giving you flowers in every way
Just to prove my love to you each and everyday

Had my back against the wall doing time
For a crime I didn't commit
I didn't snitch
But when it comes to your love
I'm not that innocent
I put so many women above me
And although it got ugly
I never had to question
If you loved me
Cause deep inside I knew that you loved me
I just didn't commit
It's my fault I was playing them tricks
I was playing them games and I'm sorry for it
Let me fly away
Let me take away the pain
Let me show you that I changed
In exchange for your heart
I don't know where to start
It wasn't my intention on tearing us apart
I should have stayed instead of running when times got hard
I put up my guard
I didn't think I would go that far
I'm a runner
I'm a trackstar
I should have played my part
Tried to save you like a lifeguard
Consider this my condolences
My heart is something I don't always give
But this is something I need to relive
I hope you find the time in your heart to forgive
I keep the pressure on you I admit
Me without you it doesn't fit
I was foolish I was just a kid
I never meant anything negative
I was so insensitive always argumentative
Always talkative and never anything positive
I feel like Bobby Brown
This is my prerogative

I remember being so broke
Scrambling to get this dough
Eating noodles off the stove
No where to go
Everyone I loved the most
Suddenly went up & ghost
So I make a toast
Keep my heart forever closed
Don't ever get too exposed
Cause when you needed them the most
They were no where to be found
So I ended up alone
Asking God
Why is it taking so long
For you to answer my prayer
I'm tired of being this strong
Feels like I'm always in the wrong
Thinking is this where I belong
I can no longer do this
Time is of the essence
And I'm going through it
I need some food on my plate
I need somewhere to stay
She look me dead in the face
Tell me she love me
But I think it's fake
She's disguised as an Angel
But really a snake
If I should die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
Lord give me time for my lovers sake
Cause if It was up to me i would have faded away
Cause if it was up to me I would have faded away
Lord give me time for my lovers sake
