Get That Old Thing Back

I'm going to bring it back,
to where It all began,
back when I found my first love,
back before he was my man.

It all started years ago,
when we were both young and naive,
not expecting anything from the future,
just taking what we receive.

I instantly knew we were meant to be,
everything about you made me want more.
I loved your straight forward personality,
it was nothing like what I'd seen before.

Once we got together,
we were both alittle older,
and through all these years,
are love for each other grew bolder.

I wanted it to work,
I did everything I could,
I was so in love with you,
It was something no one understood.

Then you started playing games,
you kept lying,
this can't be real love,
if I'm constantly crying.

You had me trapped,
there was no where to go.
I wanted to stay with you,
but it was time for me to grow.

We ended like that,
it was hard for me to deal,
getting over you wasn't an option,
what I had for you was real.

Moving on took time,
sometimes I still dwell on the past
wishing I could get back all those tears I cried,
it seems like everything went so fast.

When you came back into my life,
I tried to get our old thing back,
but time after time,
I realized what I need from a man, is what you lack.

I hated you when you hurt me,
and hate is what I still feel.
I'm tired of compromising,
I want something that is REAL
