Chasing Tail

You're lucky God untied the noose from around my neck

Cause Temptation tightened the rope until there was nothing left,

Only a shattered conscious that said I could do better

But cheating on you wouldn't change what's severed.

It's like now and last year are the same damn year

I'm still chasing tails that don't have hearts to feel

I still give my all to brick walls instead of decent people

And when I go to sleep I think about why I haven't met my equal

That treats me like I treat them and the love has no depreciation

So that means it doesn't change for the worst after an altercation

I wish I could stop chasing tail that's only concerned about the mirrors

Less concerned about what other people think and more concerned with feelings

I've been chasing my own tail handing out apologies and gifts, as if I would receive something back just because I made a wish.

The past is the past but I'm still chasing tail

Going in the same circles that I have since I was 12

Loving the same type of people who give no love back

But what kind of jackass would I be to quit on love like that?

Why would I polish my imperfections when there's still so much to love right before all of that?

People don't change...

They just don't love you like they say they do

They'll find a million ways to keep you chasing them, too.
