Love only lasts so long

Love only lasts so long

Love only lasts so long

Love only lasts so long

But see I get it though, ain't been feeling pitiful

Both grew up together, but my street was on a different road

Reminisced bout what I felt, and how I turned onto a different road

Just to console my soul from shit that had been broken home

My parents ain't loving the same, and I wasn't around so she couldn't take away pain

And I can't even lie, I took advantage, was my game

But shit was weighing on me, on my shoulders, on my brain

But she ain't even loving me no more

Another man at the door though

I was too late when coming home though

Now I'm sick, ain't feeling whole though

But hold up, I've been able to live and grow up

Another chance, damn I wish I missed my quota

End of a chapter, passing by, I had to fold up

The book is over, and this is just how I told it

Love only lasts so long

Love only lasts so long

Love only lasts so long

Love only lasts so long

I've never seen a man really love you

Only ever seen the men that rush you

And right before they leave they still crush you

You an independent woman cause of thus dudes

I used to give you no support and hope you never find someone

I'm the only man for you, the mindset of your only son

I had this disability to overcome my jealousy

Rarely saw my father so I needed you relentlessly

That was me and destiny, we built up all this hate

For men that couldn't love a woman down enough to wait

So I appreciate you in a new way as of late

I might not understand the pain but understand the strength

That it takes not to break or forsake what you love

I'm a father now so I hope that what it does

Is redefine what love is in the past, what it was

Was someone walking in and out when push came to shove

Made me believe

Love only lasts so long

Love only lasts so long

Love only lasts so long

Love only lasts so long
