I do what I had to do



Just in case you dont realize I've already seen
Everything that you've been said which make me feel like you're not human being
I hate the fact that you would sit here and lie to my face
Not knowing that I put that along in my case
I hope one day that you will decide to tell me the truth
It's funny that I stay here and tell you the truth
But instead I end up getting hurt when I see what I see
I try very hard to let it be
But it does not make sense for me to go through this
I don't even understand why I still happen to give you kiss
I can't wait for the day where you would let me know
I have four words for you (you reap what you sow)
I also wish you could tell me the reason why you would lie to me
Please explain it to me so I could let it be
I also believe that I may not be the only bae
It seems like you're just the hunter but I'm just a prey
I do the stuff I do because of shit like this
At one point it hurt me down that it made me pissed
I'm hoping i could finally try my very best to be okay
Because one day it will end and I'll be gone away
And when that day come I don't want to hear no I miss or I love you
When you had the loving me you did the worst ever and I end up feeling screwed
