"The Life and Times of C.W. Riley"

I don’t like you…You don’t look the same to me anymore
I don’t like to see you, don’t wanna see you…Yet you come by, still try to talk to me…What makes you think I want to hear your voice, see your face…

I don’t want any of this
I never asked for any of this
I want to be left alone
I have demons and I’ve faced them
I didn’t change for you
I never will change for you…or anyone
I want love undeniable
I want to be free
I have my freedom
I don’t have love
I can rememdy that
I have the cure to all ills

It isn’t a liquid
It isn’t something you smoke
It isn’t something you pop or inject
Its right inside of you, its in your heart
Its in your heart…remember the thing you said I didn’t have, the thing that you said I broke on you

Don’t look at me
Don’t speak to me

If I see you, its nothing
If you see me its nothing

I can’t say those words anymore
I can’t save I love her
I don’t want to say I love her because loving me is a curse

You will get hurt
Wounds heal

You will learn about yourself
Knowledge makes life worth living

You will understand my reasoning
Every girl has…after a few months every girl has

Chalk it up to “shit happens”
Chalk it up to “life lessons”

Do not chalk it up to “he’s a fuck up”
Do not chalk it up to “he’s immature”
Do not chalk it up to “he’s crazy”
Do not chalk it up to “he’s not the type that is ready for a relationship”

Look in the mirror and change your “he” to an “I’m”

Its not my fault you like to cause drama
But it ends here

If I see you on the street you’re just gonna be another person in my city…
I won’t save you anymore…

Welcome to my world…
