I should've known better than to trust you and take your words to heart
I should've acknowledged that twinge in my gut when you told me of your first lie
It was then that my heart and soul became compromised
In this day and time we are in a constant battle
I should've known that it was my soul you were after
Never thought I, such an intellectual being could fall subject to prey
and be your next meal ticket.....
You stripped me of my right to self esteem
Yet I should've known better and walked away when truth was revealed
But like pure darkness I was sunk in
To your scheme of things
Your plan, your mission
All your pipe dreams
Now I'm stuck with my coulda woulda shouldas........no longer believing in myself
I am too scared now to trust my own gut and intuition
Took a risk and gambled and of course I lost
I paid a high fine......and I'm still feeling the cost
I should've know that one day I'd have to pay my dues
Yet how could the one I loved so much give me the blues
I cried out in search of a reason
Yet my heart told me for everything there is a season
That's why I say I should've known and seen straight through
Yet you had my heart, and nose open, with eyes wide shut
I sought comfort in our sorrow, misery at best
Left feeling this is the best I can get........
So smooth and persuasive, perceptive I might add
I'm so glad that it happened even though it deeply saddens me
I should've known that through this trial I would obtain victory
I now know that woulda coulda shouldas won't due for all of the lessons
that God will teach you!
