lyrics

Verse One

You deserve to see sunrises over oceans
Have poems written in skies to provide shade from sunshine
But for the time being
I'll take just seeing you treated better than you have been
I've been asking
Why would you remain in a cage that has the door open
Hoping things would change from the way they were before and
We both know how your man can be controlling
Since when do relationships have captains?
If your man's trippin
The only destination should be happiness
And why should I be passive
You ain't had a fraction of my passion but
Past tense cats left you past tense
Let's move past them, baby move past him
You're holding on to what already has passed when
You know that ship came & went
And each day you've spent
Telling me how happy you are with me
Yet you're dealing with this, that contradicts
Baby, common sense says this...

(chorus)
You need someone
Whose love won't run
If you need real love
You should be with me
Just take my hand
And you will see
How good love will be
If you'll be with me

Verse two

See, you ain't had love like this before
So immersed in it, happiness fills your pores
and you become sore from
Learning how to smile with your heart again
Joy from morning when you awake at the start of them
And learn how good it feels to feel like you again
This kind of dream was built for you, my friend
My love
Just one time I'd love to see her get reimbursed
for the hurt that she's been through
'cause with you
This thing don't look right
Your ring don't look right
Your name don't look right 'cause it don't match mine
Baby girl's not mine & I don't need clocks
I know it's past time, and I'd be just fine to
Move her past hurt to "Happily Ever After"
You don't have to question my heart, just ask hers
Man, the laughter & chapters of passions that we can see ain't make believe
We can make this be

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)

(Bashiri)
Baby, I know he don't treat you right
Hear your needs, understand your life
Baby, I know he don't do those things
that make you moan & make you scream
Baby, I know you get tired of things
And that you've been scared to make that change
But what I know don't mean one thing
If you can't see you should be with me

(chorus)
