Differences

What's the purpose? 
The purpose to love 
To live? 

We draw the same picture 
Yet you don't understand mine clear 

So tell me, 
What's the difference 
Between you and me 
In my eyes me next to you is like "Real vs Retreat" 

I tell you something legit
legit is what it is
You tell me something small
But disclose y'all have a kid 
So can you tell me the difference 

Between real and me 
Cause as far as I know 
I'm the only real I need 
I'm the only real I know 

I'm the only one if things aren't straight
Everythings on hold

Your perception is screwed up 
Thinking it's the same 
Reall you're not **** 
To think I'll play along your game 

Your heart is screwed up 
Thinking you can love 
Because you're so open and observant 
You've killed the dove 

But my mind is screwed up 
I swore that it was working 

So tell me everything 
The rules 
The regulations 

Honestly I don't know 
I'm blindly inflamed 
In flames my eyes go 
When your temper gets insane 

Insane you go 
From the calmness of my voice 
Insane you go 
From the innocence of my choice 

Selfish by nature
Nothing really matters 

If your happy you're good 
You look out for you 

But me? 
Damn
Excuse me for expecting the expected 

I mean who can I run to? 
Not you 
I mostly get rejected 

Insane you go 
From the calmness of my demeanor 
The calmness of my voice 
Insane you go 
From the volume or pitch of my choice 

I'm always mad 
Yet you're always leaving 
You say it's a break, 
To give me time and let it sink in 

But I will break without sharing your bad times with mine 

You don't understand and it's cool
I'll be fine

Don't blow it 

I know how to love 
You just can't quite hold it 

If you knew how to love 
You'd know you need to show it 

But who am I to blame? 
I stayed on the sideline
Countinued to watch your game 

It all seemed familiar 
The events, as they came 

You swore to the deepest 
You'd never be the same

Heartbreak I felt
Such a long time ago
Look at me now
Same sadness once more

But who am I to judge? 
I break up true love 

I'm always left alone because I refuse to be hurt 

But with refusal comes submission 
With the refusal of pain 
It will always refuse and submiss in 

So tell me the difference 
Between real and me 

But to draw another picture 
The difference between me loving me 
And me loving.......RETREAT
