"Better Off Apart"


Ayyo remember when we met
We started as just friends
The occasional text
Or what you doin how ya been
I swear I never seen it comin
Some thoughts of course I had em
Had you painted as the baddest
Thinkin damn I gotta have it
Joked about me kidnapping
Comin through intent to capture
That was back when we were happy
All the times wed smoke laughin
Chillin kick it
Felt compassion
For the past that you done battled
So Tell me how this happen
Sittin here I'm all alone
How I've acted can't explain it
Embarrassed of course ashamed
Too little and way too late
Something's can never change
But believe me when I say
From the bottom of my heart
I'm truly sorry for all of the pain I ever caused






How we grow so close
Only to grow apart
Guess we'll never understand
That's apparent with the heart
Cause
Feelings change
so did we
And though it's hard
I guess we're better off apart
(X2)


I checked my pride at the door
Yea the ego is gone
I'm reflectin on the ride the one that got us to this spot
Was it me or was it you
Or just the things we didn't do
These the words I couldn't speak
So I put em in song
I sit alone and often wonder
Where the hell we went wrong
How'd it go from great to broke
Soul mates To so long
But lately I'm so lost
Overanalyzing thoughts
Of course ya see me smilin
That's facade this shit it is hard
To come to grips and realize that we're just better off apart
A part of me I felt it die the day them words they came to life
I mean I really saw you wit me for the  rest of my life
Figured this was just a fight
And we'd be fine by the night
But nights Turn into days
And days add up to months
N we ain't spoken not once
Ya face I ain't seen it
What's best we both know it
My hope is you knowin
From the bottom Of my heart
That
I'm really sorry (for the pain that I caused)




They say love is like a drug
So I guess we sobered up
I can't deny I fucked up
I never meant to ever hurt you
And these words
I hope you hear em
Even though I know you hate me
I don't blame you not a bit
I mean the truth is That I really
acted like a dick
Lost control flipped my shit
Said something's I never meant
And now I'm paying for that shit
I Guess the silver lining is
That I was forced to get a grip
All my flaws put on the table
This the hand that life dealt
How to play it that's the question
On the answer still waitin
Admittedly I'm afraid
Yea I been scared to change
But this chapter just closed
Guess it's time to turn the page
Lord knows just what awaits
But I hope ya doin great
This ain't fuck ya this is thanks
Though regretful Can't resent
Cause mistakes turned to lessons
I'm grateful for time spent
Memories I won't forget
But we both know what's best
My hope is you knowin
That
I'm really sorry

***Inspiration For The Song***

-- I was fortunate enough to work at a residential facility with some pretty cool young ladies for a few years, in that time I was introduced to an entire side of life I had no clue about.  I learned the true definition of perseverance and accountability, I was put into a "role model" position but looking back it was those kids that were role models, every single one of them, it was one of the most difficult jobs physically & mentally exhausting but at the end of the day you went home knowing you made a difference, you went home learning something about yourself, you went home thinking about those kids that were still locked up at the program that would eagerly be waiting for you to return for your next shift in the morning with a smile on their face, thats a powerful feeling.  It was like a big family, the one that a lot of them didn't have, the one that some of us didn't have as well, When people used to ask me if I had any kids, I would always respond "22 of them actually" Although I do not actually have any kids, these girls were/still are the closest thing I've known to that feeling.  I am forever grateful for the way these kids effected my life, Thank You!


RIP- B.W.
