Wrong Love(Or So We Was Told)
*dedicated to Tracy & Jasmine, you guys story fueled this song. Trace may you heal one day my friend*
It's killing me, bottled up inside
I can't acknowledge...acknowledge that truth
I can live tomorrow like nothing ever happened
but it doesn't change who I am
See it's forbidden, love like this isn't supposed to exist
but we do a damn good job of hiding it
nobody knows even the ones we hold so close
all I can think about is our secret place
in the middle of nowhere, just us two
enjoying all we suppress, free of an audience
I go home to someone entirely different
but it's you I think when I hold the other
and....
It's killing me, bottled up inside
I can't acknowledge...acknowledge that truth
I can live tomorrow like nothing ever happened
but it doesn't change who I am
We got married like we was supposed to
I had children so did you
we thought we was doing everything by the book
but one note I received changed my outlook
oh you was gone...it was your mother's words
that stung me like a bee
the last time we was together I vividly remember
now the rest I can only leave to imagine
It's killing me, bottled up inside
I can't acknowledge...acknowledge that truth
I can live tomorrow like nothing ever happened
but it doesn't change who I am
I can't even go to your funeral
have to be home with other commitments
can't show to much emotion
but I feel ready to explode
tonight I reached into my closet
and pulled out your blouse
held it close...and finally cried
it was the closet I could get to you now
and I am so sorry
maybe we should have been honest
I used to believe in no regrets
only experiences...but this one is killin me
It's killing me, bottled up inside
I can't acknowledge...acknowledge that truth
I can live tomorrow like nothing ever happened
but it doesn't change who I am
the door comes open as I stand in the closet door
clutching your blouse
it's him staring at me with some bewilderment
but this time I make no excuses
and for the first time he acknowledges
what he already suspected, what he already knows
and the weight is no longer killin me
but it doesn't matter it already took you...
and tomorrow will come
with our secret finally revealed
it took me losing you
to stand proud and not be ashamed of who I am....
