That Old Pair Of Jeans

All you used to do was put me down But I found a way to pick my self up off the ground and All you used to do was criticise me but Now I find the good and I emphasise it-see You would always get so sensitive And try to turn your transgressions into my guiltiness-but now I'm certain of the way I live And what I'm responsible for in this twisted game And its such a shame that you would try to make pain Another word for my name Whether giving or receiving Its one and the same Just one more link in your long ass chain But its time to break this frame with my strength of will Time to jump off this negative cycle we've built Gave my heart But my self respect you won't steal Now its time to let you go If you can't hear or feel me So I asked my Momma for her 2 cents Then I asked my little sister and I asked my friend Then I asked my papa once, then I asked him again Came to the conclusion from all them opinions that Life is too short to be unhappy And since I know what I'm worth there will be no settling for dirt Not when what I deserve is gold If I want diamonds I can't settle for coal And maybe I was just too strong to let go, And maybe I was just too weak to let it show And maybe I was just to stubborn to let go But whatever the case I can't take it no more! Sometimes I think maybe we'll patch it on up Like a favorite pair of jeans that you won't give up on And I hope maybe one of these arguments we'll make up! And start again like when we had started this up! Back when everything was fresh and every moment a blessing I'd laugh at all of your jokes, you'd listen to my suggestion One mind, one soul, one common destination Now we can't help but fight over the directions
