Can we just say goodbye,
no need to make up lies,
after all was said and done,
we really don't know the reasons why we cried,
and now the time has come to say goodbye
Dreams slipping through my fingers at the wishing well,
caught a four-leaf clover, but who can I tell,
there are shadows dancing all around,
but I can't see your face,
the spirits have retired
due to our disgrace,
the statute of limitations expired
on our love vibe without a trace,
disappearing during our Act of Absolute Contrition,
critical condition,
two hearts
violently separated,
two marks
in the sand where our passion was once satiated,
but it seems now that we've demonstrated,
love is truly wasted,
on fools
So,
can we say goodbye,
no need to make up lies,
after all was said and done,
we really don't know the reasons why we cried,
and now the time has come to say goodbye
Last call seems it's time to go home,
prepare my mental to face these nights in that house alone,
living in a grown up world,
means the world can't see me sweating,
and if that forces me to laugh with friends,
acting
like I'm forgetting,
slacking
until I'm no longer regretting,
then I gotta man up,
until I damn up
my tears,
take a long look in the mirror and face my ultimate fears,
then convince myself that I'm making love to you and not her,
physically there, but mentally not caring what occurs,
and pushing her gently away when she begins to purr
I don't need the mind trip, no more calls baby,
can we just say goodbye,
no need to make up lies,
after all was said and done,
we really don't know the reasons why we cired,
and now the time has come to say goodbye
Don't think that I will forget the nights
in the back of that Caddilac,
lip-smackin' like juviniles,
making funny Chris Rock faces just to make you smile,
sneaking a look, on Facebook, just to admire your profile,
spending a while, in a supermarket ailse, until I file
away your memories, trying to face the future, being detained by what used to be,
gallantly, holding my head up, just enough, to show my people's I have the right stuff,
can I endure,I'm fooling everyone but deep inside I'm not so sure anymore,
of what exactly trust and harmony define, I can't seem to walk away,
but I can't be wasting precious time, maybe I resigned,
before you had the opportunity, to fire me,
who knows, maybe somewhere, out there, another ebony corporation will hire me,
desire me, inspire me, you know with D'ee, it's not all about sexual proclivity,
a woman with the right spritual vibe can quickly be disarming me,
one lesson I learned being with you, is that love ain't free,
matter of fact, love costs so darn much,
that it doesn't leave you with that much,
and it doesn't even care that you didn't have that much to give,
but in this adult world gone totally mad we are forced to live,
dealing with the depression caused by our emotional insurrections,
and in the end our only protection,
some of us that is, is having absolute faith that some aspect of the resurrection,
is real, becasue if we can't appeal,
to a higher power, if we can't find another helping of brown sugar,
to sweeten a life that's somewhat sour,
if our noses are so congested from crying that we can't smell a fresh cut flower,
then what was the purpose for the hours,
we've spent, trying to make wrongs become not so wrongs, attempting to repent,
allowing, despite our own anger, a lover to vent,
if we can't start again, to believe in love again,
then nothing makes sense,
our blessings are just window dressing,
and we are not praying with our hearts and souls, we're just stressing,
that's all a brother has to say,
my bad, one more thing I learned from you baby,
LOVE DON'T COST A THING, BUT STUPIDITY IS ONE HELL OF A PRICE TO PAY,
to say,
I love you,
That's it, I'm through,
can we just say goodbye,
no need to make up lies,
after all was said and done,
we still don't know the reasons why we cried,
but now the time has come...
to say...GOODBYE
