I Struggle


I struggle with our ups and downs
All the times you've screwed around
How you love to be out there
Crossing lines I'd never dare
Doing things you never should
Convince yourself you're being good

When you meet someone new
How quickly do they take to you
Holding out as long as you can
Let them think you're a single man
How long before you'll admit
That you're in a relationship

How often do you flirt and flatter
Carry on as if I didn't matter
Leading everyone to believe
What a great catch you would be
You'll seek out those to fool
Into thinking the world of you

You continue to lie along the way
To protect the image you portray
You think you're air of conceit
Will hide you insecurity
And the few who see thru this
You no longer associate with

You'll take anyone under your wing
In order to improve your self-esteem
You can't take the chance others see
You're not as great as you claim to be
You carry yourself in such a way
Even knowing how I'd be betrayed

You're not concerned if I'm hurt
When I see you put others first
My name you'll never mention
Once you're the center of their attention
So much you can't help but gloat
And hurting the one who matters most

When will it ever be enough
Before you are devoted to us
I'm sorry if these words hurt you
But you can't deny some are true
I am not perfect or claim to be
I welcome you to list the flaws in me
