In hearts that beat, a rhythm twists,
I fully understand you don\'t know what love is.
For too long, I\'ve given my heart to the wrong,
Never realizing that you don\'t understand what it\'s like to care or want to put others needs before your own.
But I know, it\'s not your fault, it\'s mine;
I put others ahead of myself, not just you, but everyone I see.
No longer will I do such a thing, I take back my power,
Putting myself above the rest, for until it\'s done in return,
I don\'t see why I should do more when they\'re doing less.
I naturally understand you don\'t know what love is,
You don\'t know when to be there, you don\'t know how to communicate,
You don\'t know the signs of when someone is stressed,
And you don\'t understand friendship, which is the base of any relationship.
Of course, I understand now how you don\'t know what love is,
To be frank, I don\'t think you even love yourself.
Though you may profess love to the public, I observe and so do you,
But you have no damn clue what love is,
Because you never took the time to understand it.
Maybe you\'re realistically just choosing not to have anything to do with it;
You\'ve never actually been shown real love, unconditional love, and true care,
Being there when people actually want you there, being committed and truthful,
And being strong when others are weak.
I truly think that no one has actually shown you that type of courtesy,
And that\'s why you behave the way you do,
Because no one\'s ever had the guts to call you out on your bullshit.
Well, I\'m sorry to break it to you, but I\'m not that type of person,
I am blunt, and you\'re probably going to hate my ass.
But I\'m sincere and honest, and truthful,
And if you cannot respect or like those factors about me, then be gone.
For these are the factors I love about myself,
Because I now truly understand self-love, romantic love, respectful love, consistent love.
But you, what do you actually know about love,
I realized you have
no clue, so I\'m glad to enlighten you.
