Doing it all...
In this relationship, I am alone With a man who only thinks of his own His words are excuses, empty and thin As he ignores the pain he causes within
I pour out my heart, but he won't listen He only hears his own voice and ambition His promises are shallow and soon forgotten While my pain and frustration remain unspoken
I thought love was selfless, but he proves me wrong With each passing day, my heart feels less strong I crave his attention, his love and his care But all he gives is apathy and despair
I wonder how long I can carry on this way In a relationship where I am just a castaway I dream of a love that's true and pure But with him, I know that's just a lure
So I must be brave and walk away From a man who only causes me dismay I deserve a love that's kind and true And I won't settle for less, no matter what I do.
