You never thought that Karma actually came back to you
You use to cling to anyone who was just passing through
Dressed like you only shop at park avenue
You learned that one plus one don't always make two
And that's a tough lesson
Lying down in your bed but you're not resting
You hate the fact that they exploited you for your affection
So you made sure next time to show that your love is a weapon
Found one and got to testing
You loved it cuz i know how much you just loved the attention
But is it really love or really was it self-protection?
You're a person but lately you feel like a possession
And you know others do the same
But all the others wild and you think for you its tame
But you've too afraid to see the whole picture frame
I know rather you'd close your eyes and let it set aflame
But now you gotta choose
Tryna find lasting love in one afternoon left you confused
You can't have it both ways and that's your excuse
Ain't nothing permanent bout temporary tattoos
You treat opportunities like it was bad news
You seem a little lost but haven't lost your values
You've got a lot of talk but you've been living in a vacuum
Running from the problem with some brand new track shoes
And that's the difference between me and you
I'm not perfect but at least I try to see it through
Cuz every time there is a road block and i get delayed
I think about much worse it would be if I just stayed
Lately I've thought of you
You've always been the type of person to just stick and move
Maybe if you stop awhile you could just enjoy the view
Find the kind of love that sticks forever like a tattoo, yeah
