Love Is Not Enough

Wow, You put your hands on me I’m still in shock

You say you love me but my face is covered in these knots

My friends said I should have seen it when you showed aggression

I thought that I can help you change but that’s another lesson

Damn I still love you with my lip swole

And I’m so angry at myself cuz I won’t let you go

I see them demons that you wrestle with it breaks my heart

And I’m so scared to walk away cuz you might fall apart

Or even worse

Or maybe that’s my problem

Cuz I understand your pain

I know what demons look like when they torture you with shame

So when they asked why I stayed

I thought that you could change

Like if I loved you just enough that it would wash away your pain

Damn

But love is not enough

I can’t help you heal what you always running from

Look at me now

Im In my own cycle

Tryna save somebody while I’m always been stifled

I just wanna give what I wish somebody gave me

Like if I had support then it probably would have saved me

I been tryna help you cuz I can’t help myself

And these scars on my face are how I feel about myself

So I make excuses

Like you would never do this again

You would never do this again

Yea, You would never do this again

But you did it again

Is this what I prayed for?

Maybe it’s something I missed

A love I was made for

Has be more than this

Tryna find a way out

Has be something I missed

Gotta to be something I missed

Has be more than this

———————————

Man I swear to God I love you

I hate the way that you start flinching when I touch you

Man I hate the way I hurt you

What you don’t think it hurts me?

I let my walls down and now you see the worst of me

Like nothing ever works for me

I swear to God I’m trying

So much anger in my heart I’m tryna fight it

But I just keep on fighting you

Til you black and blue

And I’m not saying that it’s cool

Should never put my hands on you

I’m quick to throw the blame and man I hate the way it lands on you

I’m embarrassed

I said that could never be me

I saw this shit growing up

Thought that could never be me

That could never be me

This used to be the love I prayed for

And you’ve always been the standard that I aimed for

And honestly seeing you makes me ashamed more

Cause I said this was the love I would change for

Is this what I prayed for?

Maybe it’s something I missed

A love I was made for

Has be more than this

Tryna find a way out

Has be something I missed

Gotta to be something I missed

Has be more than this
