Shades Of Love.

Security Blanket.

We met one winter when we were young.
Then that summer can and we were done.
That August night I laid in my car and cried.
Praying to the universe to give you back or let me die.
Even after we had ended our story still had more pages.
Cos even though I knew better, I couldn't stay away.

I wanted you to love me, like you did before.
Deep down I was praying that you wanted me more.
I laid in your bed, cos you were lonely.
Stuck in the same space refusing to hold me. 
I just wanted you to love me, the way you loved me before.
But you just kept me there cos you didn't wanna feel lonely anymore.

Three years I stayed by our side.
There were many days you made me cry.
I was so naive, and I can't even believe.
That I stayed in that place with you, waiting for you.
My mama told me, "You should never have to beg to be loved."
Yet still I waited many nights, wondering why I wasn't enough. 

I wanted you to love me, like you did before.
Deep down I was praying that you wanted me more.
I laid in your bed, cos you were lonely. 
Stuck in the same space refusing to hold me.
I just wanted you to love me, the way you loved me before.
But you just kept me there cos you didn't want to feel alone anymore.

I wish I didn't care, oh I wish I didn't care so much.
Here I was a fool, waiting for you to wake up.
Dragging around these ridiculous feelings of love.

I wanted you to love me, like you did before.
Deep down I was praying, you wouldn't break my heart anymore.
I laid in your bed, cos you were lonely.
So many nights I waited, wishing for you just to hold me.
Like a security blanket, I was there to keep you warm.
But I stayed there because I didn't want to be alone like I was before.
