Change Your Ways
It's Not Me...It's You
Have you ever felt that you have given everything that you got?
Only to receive the ungrateful and the individuals who feel entitled
Throw dirt on your name… just sit around just to plot
Oh no…you used to be different…I do not like the new you
The previous me was filled with love, giving, and always there for everyone
Yet miss one offering and they say now we are through (family, friends, relationships)
It seems such a dishonor when someone gives their last
Unfortunately, everyone is not the same...and will suck you dry
While you on empty and they are living a blast
How can you be so thoughtless is what some may say?
Until you walked in my shoes…All I did was pay
Yet with stress and worries will leave my head gray
Get over it…I have why don’t you carry on the same
I still love you, but we must learn how to communicate
For every time I cannot be left the one to blame
I forgive even after the dirt has been thrown on my name
Nevertheless, I have accepted that it’s not me…it’s you
All along your actions changed…it just simply was not the same
Life comes with trials and we must all go through it
I just thought since I had your back the feeling was mutual
Oh no there is silence…it hurt just a bit
Treat people the way that you want to be treated
It is not ever a one-way street one must follow
Saying sorry does not mean that you have been defeated
It shows maturity and letting pride go
So, when you look at the man in the mirror
Then you can say…I am a righteous man…this I know
