When did this love become mere words?
It’s like am pushing uphill against the forces
My arms are shacking, my being weak
Oh won’t you come carry me
You said you loved me, and I’m quoting words.
You should have said no, am not placing blame
I dunno how much more we both could take,
It seems we’re bursting at the seams.
When I was with you, I couldn’t wait to get away
Now I’m away just wish you were close
I hold myself from calling your name
I hold my stare until the moment before you look my way
I dial your number only in my mind
I know this is the way I paved myself
The cards I dealt us both
I don’t know what I expected because you fought for me
But I want more and yet I still want you
There’s nothing now I see I could ever do
Paralysed to make a move
Cos I just can’t tell you how I feel
Like I’m waiting till you’re gone forever
Maybe with wise hair, I’ll tell a tale or two
