Catch 22

Chorus:

When you love somebody more than they love you

Sure you stand there lying pretendin' it's all good

Walk away in denial like you'll live without 'em

Either way, its catch 22

Verse 1:

I think of how you lied when you said you chose me

Thought I was your woman 'til I found my sanity

Used to cry your pain

What a cold game, this love thang

Cuts deeper than glass

I can still remember the exact words you used to control me

(Damn it must be good baby)

'Cause for years those words were able to consume me

Confuse me

Appease me

Blind me, yeah

Chorus

Verse 2:

It's finally clear to me

It was partly my fault

I can't blame it all on you

We both were dead wrong

But you were stealin' me (me)

Away from me

Nobody needed me

Anymore than me

And it's amazing how the tears fall

Water, seeds they grow to be the strength in me

'Cause I'm finally at the point (hey)

Where I'm ready for the truth (hey, hey, hey)

Anything I do for me to make me happy

Is up to me- not you, no (no, no, no)

Chorus

Bridge:

It's gonna hurt like hell

But I'll get over you

And I wish you well

But I just refuse (just refuse)

To give so much of me (give so much of me)

'Til there's nothing left ('til there's nothing left)

Guess you can't love me baby

Like I deserve, naw

Spoken word:

They say love is beautiful

I'm usually more optimistic

Realistically I have yet to see love's beauty outside of my reflection

Via the affection I exude for you

All of the fairy tales and castles, hmph

I mean, I thought I touched 'em

Can't hold down with one heart

But I'm still optimistic, idealistic

Though my eyes are misty

I will patiently await and see

The beauty of love

All my own, all my own
