Don’t Hurt Yourself

It’s like the effort dwindled

You don’t try as much anymore

I noticed you don’t contact me

Whenever you are alone

It’s as if I’m no longer a priority

What happened to being on top of you list?

You could easily be creeping

Just don’t show me off no more

You disrespect me in front of your boys

You act like I’m someone who

Gets on your nerves

It’s like lately you just want me around

Just so you don’t feel alone

But how do I know

That when I’m with you

You aren’t thinking of someone else

Man, it’s like this house is barely a home

If you loved me

Why wouldn’t you just leave me alone

Instead of slowly withdrawing

From my sight

Making me feel like I didn’t do you right

When all I ever did was fight

Tried everything I could to hold on tight

I guess it’s time I take flight

You gonna move on

Well so will I

The unfortunate thing is

I been faithful the whole time

So regardless of who ends up with you

I just feel bad

I’m the one who you’ll wish you still had

Because I’ll go from good girl to

Straight bad

Giving everything I gave to you

To myself

Finding the love that’s the most important

When felt

You gonna look back and feel

A type of way about yourself

Because I know I tried

So to me this thing wouldn’t be my fault

You would be lying to yourself

Throwing away a diamond

Or better yet handing it right over to

Someone else

You wanna fumble a good thing

Boy, don’t hurt yourself
