Sage Francis - The Write lyrics

This is to the woman who I loved but lost
Intertwined souls of the
Universe got divorced
But it wasn't forced got single
Thoughts of being double crossed
Still there's no love lost

Now I can't even start this i
See no light inside the darkness
So whatcha want, miss? don't check my pulse
Because i'm heartless
You were my life support and in a
Sense my defense fights the thought
I'll try to keep this one nice and short
Our four chambers beat in unison
I'm wanting you to listen to the
Dead silence in my defiance
I used to sin and be intrigued by violence
Now as I glimpse into the past
I thank God for your guidance
Alas, I give my eyes a rinse


Blink and think in retrospectrealize you
Need to get your respect
I apologize as I holler cries
Cause it's you and not these college
Guys that keeps my knowledge wise
You're my crutch but now I fall
Cause you're someone i can't touch
Now no one wants to help me
Up and that's too much
Even my wisdom fell i'm in a living hell
Throw my inner child back in the prison cell
Incarcerated hatred is causing conflict
With the free love sentencing
Death to the convict my soul is on skid row
Where can this kid go? I'm homeless
How could you notice when this
Whole world didn't know?
It's time i make public just how
Personal we got in private moments
Because lies are our opponents
Forget material or superficial stuff
I either let you know too much or not enough

This is to the woman who i loved but lost
Intertwined souls of the
Universe got divorced
But it wasn't forced got single thoughts
Of being double crossed
Still there's no love lost
There's no love lost

I can't pretend this the impact on
My life has been tremendous
It can't be fixed with a friendly kiss
What's endless?
Questions, pain, grief and misbelief?
I'm so faithful all I grind is my teeth
But what I find beneath the surface
Has changed from priceless to worthless
This three ring circus of clowning
Around is what hurts us
My brain short circuit's as my
Mind starts to wander
To discover another lover i'm isolated
Living somber
She's whispering "come hither
From there yonder"
I don't think i wanna the
Pressure ain't gettin' lesser
Open my dresserit overflows with memorabilia
Momentos of our success now
Symbolize my failure
I took time to write you diaries
When we couldn't speak much
According to you that was a weak touch
Cause "actions speak louder than words"
Turn up your hearing aid
You made this man afraid put the
Pin back in the hand grenade
There's not much time left til I'm left
With nothing but a broken promise
While every syllable I said was spoken honest
We expected each other to be
A physic mind reader
Don't tell me "life goes on" I need her
Next to me
So once again I can feel the high of ecstasy
We trippedwalking down the aisle of destiny
Respectful sexually, because seei understood
And I don't know too many people who would
Have done anything to get a
Laugh from their better half
I should have sensed it soonerwhen you
Lost your sense of humor
Now let my soul speak
I couldn't eat for a whole week
With no sleep the price I pay
For being a control freak
Now I'm screaming inside my
Pillow instead of dreaming
I must have said "I love you" so
Much that it lost it's meaning
But no one's perfect
So where's my chance to make adjustments?
It's worth itif our romance had substance
Because with purity we conceived marriage
Til insecurity caused a miscarriage

This is to the woman who i loved but lost
Intertwined souls of the
Universe got divorced
But it wasn't forced got single
Thoughts of being double crossed

I was in it for the long run
Now who's the weak and the strong one?
I tried to be Mr right
Though things were wrongly done
But ummmmwhen it was time for sacrifice
Straight up, you didn't have to ask me twice
I put off this rap device
I wasn't ACTING nice
All my feelings they were genuine
You got me open and I let you in
But now you're screaming bloody murder used
The entrance as the exit
Now you're absent like my mind
I'm on a head trip you never said shit used
Then misused the entrance
And never let me get in one sentence
Forget friendsyou were my best one
Now I'm depressed
Son it didn't take long for
The stress to come
Memories be my arch nemesis
As i sit and reminisce
Wondering if you remember this:
Our genesis first experiences on old dates
Got cold shakes and tingles, never single
We were soulmates
That term used to hold weight
But now it's temporary
And lately I've been making
Trips to the cemetery
Ain't nothing evil in death
But this feels devilish
I'd never wish this on my worst enemy
Remember me
