Pride Got In the Way
I've been thinking about you a lot lately, but I can't tell you that
I have dreams about you, but I'm unsure on how to sell you that
I thought I'd moved on, but I guess my feelings were hidden and never went away
I was going to tell you that I miss you, but my pride got in the way
Recently I've taken the time to soul search
I'm a new man now, but you're still my old girl
It's 7 years since we broke up, I was too young and broken to understand love
I messed up by not showing you enough affection, to admit that I'm finally man enough
I was still deeply affected and traumatised from my childhood
So I was very distant, I don't know if I even told you how beautiful your smile looks
I wanted to do it all for you, but because I was scared my feelings I hid
I had my dream girl who loved Eminem just as much as I did
You were my first love, and I've dated a lot since then, we both have
I wish we could meet now for the first time, I don't want to go back
Memories stay forever, but sometimes love don't last
I'm speaking my truth, this is more than rhymes on a notepad
You'll always have a piece of my heart and that's no lie
I know you've been going through it, and I hope all of your tears have dried
You mean that much to me, that to text you back I'll even pause Fifa
But I'll always make fun of you for having pineapple on your pizza
We still speak from time to time but it makes me miss you more
Cupid has got his aim wrong many times, but maybe one day he'll give me who I'm wishing for
I'll keep this short even though I have more to say
I was going to tell you that I miss you, but my pride got in the way
