Breaking Up

How can I give you, what you're asking for?

Oh baby

When the feeling is gone (when the feeling is gone)

It's been a while since we last conversated, still can't believe we never made it

Lookin back at the way it was, high school love, both of us embraced it

Let me take it back a bit, to the place where the whole story starts

Before we ever had a clue or even knew, how hard relationships are

We was in the same class and I, use to try to make her laugh, then I

Tried to take it farther then a friend, but she just a little hesistant

It took longer then I thought, yeah I'll admit it, but I stayed patient

Was a lot like the music game, never had the skills but I had the motivation

Then in Grade 12, hooked up, became officially involved

I got the lady I've been waitin on, you could say the the mystery is solved

I graduated that year but never left, stayed another one

Told my parents I was upgradin, really I was waitin for you to be done

After that, moved to the big city, got a small place together

Slept, lived, drank, ate together, but it made it hard for us to stay together

Life is oh so unexpected, shouldn't have, the good and bad

Now I'm lookin back at it all, these are problems a man and woman have

She says that I should leave, she says I should go

She don't understand, all I've been waitin for is everything {is everything}

For something {for something}, to change {change}

(But I think that I should stay, things could be the same

It's just me and you, with no one to blame

But you don't see {but you don't see}

It's only me {it's only me}, that would change) {changeee}

How can I give you, what you're asking for, ohhhh baby

When that feeling is gone

So after about a year or so, a lot of bickerin and fightin came

Everything we had together, fell apart slow, never seemed worth the pain

More hatin then there was lovin, both arguin about nothin

Neither one of apologize, I guess the two of us were too stubborn

Still lived together though, though decided maybe we should take a break

I never really wanted that, I just wanted change, that was my mistake

I never thought we would break up, never thought I'd find another like her

But I was still thinkin we'd get back together and these loose ends would become tighter

But no way, no luck, threw the towel in, we broke up

I moved out, choked up, depressed every day I woke up

Found out she had another man and this is when it really hit home

Fuck I lost everything I had and I ain't the type who likes to be alone

Now I'm tryin to move along and I felt it difficult to stay strong

But dark days always brighten up, if the fight in ya keeps movin on

A couple months after all of this, I bumped into another girl I knew

Had a couple dates in high school, a type of girl you don't forget, simply beautiful

We talked for a little bit, we took some time out and reminisced

And I forgot about my dark days, she taught me heartbreak can lead to happiness

When I was down and had no faith, she showed me everything is okay

My soul mate, I never would of thought a break up could end so great

She says that I should leave, she says I should go

She don't understand, all I've been waitin for is everything {is everything}

For something {for something}, to change {change}

How can I give you, what you're asking for?

Oh, let's go our separate ways, oh baby
