YOU told ME I would be your queen.
WE would rule together, over monotonous mountain plains,
blue cliché skies, and red rain yellow orange sunshine
Cloistered in our world of solitude surrounded with nothing but each other
Never knowing not caring what went on around us cause
YOU and ME commingled then became WE
WE didn’t need nothing but each other
WE could build our own diversify our portfolio choose and create options
WE would be life, then create life expand and contract
Building our own empire together
ME I looked to YOU for confirmation
Choices made that involved matters of my heart,
YOU looked to ME
For the same,
I continued to look to YOU and thought YOU were looking to ME
and then…
That other chick
SHE caught your eye,
One day while walking by,
SHE took her time
That window that I never knew WE had, SHE looked through it
Peeping in on ME and mine
That window that I never knew WE had became a door, SHE walked through it
Trying to get me to be no more
Brick by brick
Stone by stone
Took it all away till I was on my own
SHE was building her castle
Had prepared her throne
I willed YOU to stay
Stay YOU would not
So…
WE – YOU + SHE = ME
