They Say If You Love It, You Should Let It Out Its Cage . . And Fuck It, If It Comes Back, You Know It's There To Stay . .

I don't think it's meant to be,

But she loves her work more than she does me .

And honestly, at [18], I would probably love my work more than I did she .

So we, ain't we .

It's me, and her .

'Cause what she prefers over me, is work .

And that's, where we, differ .

So I have to give her,

free time,

even if it hurts .

So breathe, mami, it's deserved .

You've been put on this earth to be,

All you can be . .

And me ?

My timing in this army, it's served .

So I have to allow she; her time to serve .

The time's now for her

[And] the time she'll mature,

And maybe we can be we again like we were .

Finally, my time's too short to share .

And to ask her now, it ain't fair .
So yeah . . .

You're the best I ever had . . but they say sometimes, the best things in life needa go . . and maybe one day, it'll come back . . .
