I'm trynna love her the right way- Trynna give her my heart,

But instead she's hurting night and day- And I see it's tearing her apart.

Her eyes have been tearing from the start- Now 2 and a half month's past,

Looking back on things I've done- I'm surprised we were able to last.

Just this long- Because it's been a constant fight,

Shes the type that likes the sun- But I try to keep clear of the light.

I do my dirt at night- She runs the streets during the day time,

She's working and lives on her own- But I still stay at home with moms.

Shes never taken a puff- But my insides are contaminated,

My heart's turned stone and I forgot how to love- Her soul has been laminated.

Protected from the truths I know- But she's survived her own struggles,

Put our lives side by side- And compared to me, shes lived in a bubble.

But she's accepted my flaws- Without ever breaking her stride,

We have a tendency to argue but I can pinpoint the cause- Shes continues to try and break my pride.

And that same pride, causes silly arguments- Which causes her to retract,

Then her eyes cry and I'm the cause of it- I get unsure of how to react.

I want to console her to make it better- I wanted to hold her and let go never,

But instead I trun my back as if to forget her- Then the thoughts form and I feel that I don't deserve to be with her.

I don't have much to give her- I'd give her the world if I could,

But I can only bring her into mine- And wish that she understood.

It's the things I've seen that made me this way- The things I survive that mold me,

Make her understand though I'm not really alone- Sometimes I still get lonely.

I'm the only person I know- That will always care about me,

My attitude is fuck the world- Because I know the world don't give a fuck about me.

But she thinks about me- Phone calls just to say "I love you",

Her heart breaks when she hears my poerty- Thinking "How can the world not love you."

She doesn't understand that- I'm a part of the youth that is predetermined to fail,

Either dead before I hit 21- Or spending most of my life in jail.

But shes my girl- I know she'd give me the world if she could,

But instead she brings me into her's- And wishes that I understood.
