They say Love is an open door
Yet for some reason i can not seem to get rid of these carpet stains on my floor
You know those imbeautiful scars Of all my heartbreaks
Well, they're still sculpted on my mirror
Its like deja vu all over again
And i still see us dancing underneath
That same chandelier
But this time its a little different
Because now its weird how when you
Say "you look beautiful" it doesnt flatter me like before instead it just leaves a trace of pain in my voice
and this time im just waiting to exhale
somehow this time i find myself feeling
Like those stepdaughters mistreated for almost 20 years of their lives
Imagining the scars on their heads
And how people labelled them as just some other black statistic of rape
While what they also wanted was just to exhale
But in their eyes i could see
They were scared to even breathe
Our love is a cold case love
And im waiting on that gold vase to move
So that the memory i have of us can fade away into the wind
Still On that mirror i see us
On the roof
Inside that dark and burning room
But now i dont need any proof
Because now I can see that your love is breaking every law
And im a wreaking weakness
Truth or dare
My love was true and rare
Yet you were too blind to see
The printed pictures of my heart
And Now im at a heartbreak scene
And its my heart thats been broken
Your love is the gold vase that moved
Our love was a cold case love
Still I cant believe that i was that naive
To think we were the next Bonnie and
Clyde
That my blinded eyes couldn't see
What your so-called love was doing to me
Somehow you tried to cage and
Gag me and you saw you couldnt
So your smile locked me instead
And now im looking,looking and
looking
But i can't seem to find the pieces of
My wounded heart anywhere
