Keep My Sweater

loving you was easy

you made me fall so deeply

you made me weak in the knees 

begging you please 

please don’t leave

I don’t want to grieve 

it’s like losing my best friend 

can we not just mend 

I can forgive

but I also don’t want to relive 

relive knowing what you did to me

you thought you were out on a spree 

you knew it would hurt me 

so why 

why for a guy

you got me so high 

made me buy 

but you wanted to act like you were some spy 

sneaking around corners to lie

just to self advertise

I’ve given you so much love 

but you just wanna shove 

you’re pretending not to care 

but I know losing my love made you feel bare 

and we had so much to share 

you were willing to lose this

you knew what you were gonna miss 

but you still left me with a kiss 

then you turned cold 

put your head down making that gold 

you were scared to be controlled 

but that wasn’t me 

I would’ve dropped to one knee

but you thought the worst 

and I was your first 

first woman 

we even went to Brooklyn 

I was never like the others 

I know I was the best out of your past lovers 

even got us under covers 

but you lost that 

at a drop of a hat

made me feel like some mat 

thought you were sent from above

I just wanted healthy love

you took advantage 

But I was still thinking of marriage 

but I’m too good to be tossed around

so have fun with your rebound

they will never love you like I did

that’s something you’ll tell your kid

but I’ll be okay 

I would’ve stayed 

because I prayed 

prayed to forgive you

and man that was hard to do

but I’m not angry

I’m sorry about the burden you’ll have to carry

you know you’re lost 

those eyes are so glossed

by the waves you’re being tossed 

but I hope you don’t forget about me 

I thought I was lucky number three 

but I know I hold the key

the key to your heart 

that I saw as art 

no one will cherish you like I have

it makes me laugh 

I deserve better 

but you can keep my sweater 

I’m looking at my come back story

all I know is that I’m in the Lords glory 

looking at what’s next for me 

I’m smiling with glee 

the Lord has a better plan

I got my clan

but I hope you’re doing alright

I pray you see the light

and I promise you, it’ll be bright
