rhymes revisited-raindrops on roses

see he
knew i was having trouble being we
cuz all i ever knew was
being
me
and i tried to to get the hell out 'fore the other shoe dropped
cuz i wasnt tryna
have my heart stop when he'd inevitably say
i gotta go my way and i had fun but
i gotta go
gotta leave
so i'd beatem to the punch
with that one two punch talkin bout i had a lot of fun and stuff but
i think its best if we let this shit rest
truth was i didnt wanna have to put it thru the test
get my heart broken so i decided it was best if i
just let it slip thru my fingers
could look back and say
well
at least we had that 'yesterday'
and maybe
maybe
i was just afraid that things might
just be
okay

i'm asking for just a little time
a little patience
these issues aren't yours
they're my own
and i'm not saying that
i'm wrong
or that you're wrong
but I need some space
and since you asked
i won't lie
because i don't know
how long i'll be gone
