Speech Debelle – Shawshank Redemption lyrics
You notice, you so focused on the things they don’t do or don’t do for you
You said they have not grown, not like you
But forgetting that you still got growing to do too
And simple fact, is you suppose have a future together so you work with that
I said you wasn’t focused, but now look at you so focused
Somebody else seeing progress, ‘cause they had patience
And I was tired of waiting, but you weren’t tired of waiting
‘Cause you put with me I should of put with you too
Now I'm sitting here saying how much care for
Sitting here sipping on something saying I’m missing you
And all the while you was you waiting full of frustration
Holding you at arms length for ages
I’m kind ashamed to say it, I gotta live with as payment

I never called
And you were my only
Wounds are raw
Now I’m lonely
I gave up sure for unsure

I was a fool for loosing you slowly
Letting you walk away from me
I gave up sure for unsure

Something had to give to you had to live
So you letting go was really the best thing
You did it for yourself I can see that yes
Thinking bout my own selfishness less
Would have been better for us, I brought nothing but fuss
We debated about were we taking this life
I lied to you now I cry for you
'Cause my pride told me that I wanted more than you
But wanty wanty can’t get and get and getty getty nah want it
Foundation wasn’t strong that’s I fell of it
The promise I made to you wasn’t honest
Too smart for myself so I lost the profits of you
Things that I do make me question my sanity
Chasing the one that will never be right for me
I’m kinda of ashamed to say it
I gotta live with that as pain meant

I never called
And you were my only
Wounds are raw
Now I’m lonely
I gave up sure for unsure

I was a fool for loosing you slowly
Letting you walk away from me
I gave up sure for unsure

My ego’s amazing
Always gets in situations
Like this cause I am fly
So I just let you walk by

Wasn’t keen on staying
Now I ended with Nathan
And Nathan gives nothing
I get nothing from Nathan
