It's funny how

you just bought a ring just the other day

and now

we have nothing to say

words can't explain

all we can do is lay it out on the tray

and hope that better is on it's way

Because life is very short and we don't have time to waste

so give it to me anyway

make sure you won't regret it

he texted me and you read it

but w/o the bad things, how would you know what's good?

you say you living better but you're still in the hood

maybe it’ll be better next lifetime, reincarnation

I need a year vacation, don't care where the location

I hear you talking but I'm not listening

because you keep reminiscing

and I don't want to hurt feelings

so I keep my distance

you got mad, you told me you was leaving

we arguing but for what?

where's the love? where's the trust?

is seems like we’re slowly giving up

not trying to make it work

just talking about it hurts

but we never quit

after a while we forgive and forget

move on, like nothing ain't wrong

I'm surprised we even last this long

back and forth this argument you’d want to abort, teleport

saying we’re sorry. apologizing

but it's too late, we’re a dollar short

for whatever the sport

we’re still losing the game

because I thought you would change

you thought I would change

but we remain the same

that's the reason why we’re in this again

our love keep switching from pleasure to pain

in too deep, can't find a way out

can hardly sleep, what am I going to do now?

feels like I'm buried alive, in a hole trapped inside

can't hide, I promised to be your bride

you promised to be my husband

I guess we started not to believe all of a sudden

we lost our connection

like poor reception

it doesn't matter, because you're an exception

we see all the bad things we’ve done to each other

but we look for that one good thing to stay together

ain't that good love?
well I guess that's not enough

it's tough, but we stay strong

even though we’re sad inside, we keep our happy face on
