There’s a picture in that heart-shaped frame
in my body, where my shortie’s greatest thoughts take place,
a film full of feelings, a reel full of realness,
and memories recounted as I talk centerstage,
I got this music box - on the shelf it sits,
a soundtrack for my descent into this helplessness,
maybe I could’ve shown a little more selflessness
maybe if I would’ve, if you weren’t such a selfish bitch, but now…
Every single time, I get mad, (damn right - why?)
thinking bout the times we had, (okay)
we took it slow, let our love grow,
why’d you go and fuck it all up? You know,
if you gonna act like a hoe,
(well, then, bitch) I would rather be alone, (yup)
flying solo, fuck it - YOLO,
I’ll spend Valentine’s Day alone,
(Chorus)
Valentine’s Day’s around the corner, so NOW you wanna
reconcile our differences? Superficial images
govern all your decisions and ambivalence; your fickleness
is limitless - meticulous with dissonance - you are the
antithesis of innocence, but you pretend to be…
that’s ridiculous - after the shit you did to ME?
If I had a camera whenever you’d visit me,
I’d have the makings of a reality show on MTV,
here’s the footage - all you gotta do is score it,
she say she wanting love, I want something more important,
cause love in this century can be bought in a magazine,
a church pew, a rom-com or a jar full of vaseline,
got the nerve to be asking me if I’m honest; honestly,
in this economy, you can’t be a couple and have autonomy
cause niggas getting thirsty, their bitches be getting mad,
and bitches always concerned about what other bitches have,
look babe, the ego’s not my stylo, if you wanted a
hero, that certainly ain’t me, yo - a societal
zero…I ain’t perfect, but I’m worth it,
but the things that you value are worthless…bitch.
Did you know that I,
remember the first time I kissed your lips, hands on your hips,
I thought you were so fine, couldn’t get you off my mind,
and now I miss when you would listen to me - try to find,
The perfect way to describe, how I felt for you inside,
I reminisce of heaven’s bliss when you were by my side,
when you were by my side,
still reminiscing of us kissing for the first time…
We were so in love, but now it’s over,
and I thought you were the one, but now it’s over,
I don’t know what I must do to get over you,
I guess this isn’t what I thought it was…there’s no love, no love, no love.
(Chorus)
