to be faithful Lyrics

How long does it take?

To feel what I was trying to portray?

How many times do I have to say? (Say, say, say)

That I didn't mean that (mean that)

I never meant that

What I meant was I could've held you close

Forever and ever and ever

And that I'd be by your side

No matter the guys that tried to hypnotize me

I'd be tying your shoes while you stare down at me

Asking me if I still loved you

Pleading to me, thinking I couldn't say no

They'd come grabbing for me

You'd be crying

Watching me, go flying

Into the night, without a fight of my own

Driving away, smiling and waving

You'd try to say

"Come back baby"

But my ears were closed off

I was getting a better night off from you

You try to tell me that I was bad

That I would grasp for any male attention

Apprehension was out the window

Crescendos of applause is what I craved

You made me feel insane

Over something that you made in your brain

Fake infidelity is the new video game

Checkmate, maybe I was too late

I couldn't say anything that could've saved us

I was out of touch according to you

Nothing more to do

Cause I was the culprit

I was the suspect

I was the villain

I was the hornet on your skin as a kid

Trickling the venom into your soft skin

A magnet to anything that was a kin

To affection that I wasn't getting

From the person who said it all to me

I was watching the hail fall from the sky

As I tried to hold your hand, you denied me

You said that it was what had to be done

You spun around, ran to lower ground

You left me to fall, under it all

And said that I deserved it

Maybe I'd learn a lesson

And learn a lesson I did

And I have you to thank for it
