Frenemies, Part 2: Fake Love

Look into my eyes, Girl,  

I let you in my world.  

How could you deceive me? 

I lift you up, you leave me. 

 

I brought you back to life, Boo, 

showed you sacrifice, true love, and understandings.  

Now I’m understanding that you’ve been on some fakeness. 

Well, fakeness, I can’t take it.  

 

I don’t accept your fake tears, 

‘Cause I taught you to face fears.  

You ain’t gotta lie, Girl, 

I let you in my world, Girl.  

 

You make my stomach turn, 

I’m so glad that we let it burn. 

You lied to my face, Boo.  

Now I must replace you. 

 

Your name should be Eden,  

Girl, you so deceiving.  

I let you in my world, how you deceive me? 

I lift you up, you leave me.   

 

I thought you would be the one  

You said we would see the sun. 

Now you want me back, for what?  

Never going back, going back for what?  

 

You the dirtiest, plead the fifth.  

Beg for mercy. Yeah, you hurt me.  

I ain’t mad I ain’t sad —  

Feeling better than I ever felt,  that ain’t bad.
