6PM in Roseland

I know that you love me You don't say it no more Time is of the essence what are you waiting for I saw through your windows when you closed all them doors So much you can hide but the eyes always sure Hear you loud and clear You say you waiting on me I find it ironic how impatient you be Spilling out these feelings while I lay on these sheets I come home alone You never waiting on me Pure emotions I'm devoted to the feeling Your composure start eroding Who the villain Turning Heaven into Hell with all my sinning Beg to you or pray to God for my forgiveness Know this never was intended Need a knife to cut the tension Double-edge with consequences I still ponder on decisions Would I make em with you missing? I been hanging on the fence and now yo guard up like we fencing I been lunging for your love and you keep feinting all your interest Pretty sure you pretty petty I could love you when you let me But you swear I'm never ready That's the shit that always get me Tried to get me when you met me Loneliness gon always tempt me I just hate to wake up empty She said I know that you love me You don't say it no more Time is of the essence what are you waiting for I saw through your windows when you closed all them doors So much you can hide but the eyes always sure Hear you loud and clear You say you waiting on me I find it ironic how impatient you be Spilling out these feelings while I lay on these sheets I come home alone You never waiting on me You can feel the distance And you say that it's my fault I won't even shrug it off We know that you not wrong Walk a mile inside these Nikes and I feel my soul off Crossed a line to see the streets and I left the sidewalk Imagining what yo eyes saw A man who running away Who never confront his pain Who say he don't feel a thing Lies written all on his face You feel it in black and white You see it as clear as braille His nonchalant ain't as strong His stoicism is frail And what you do? You pick his side No picket sign pick up his pride Express yourself with no regrets And pray the words can still reside They ricochet inside his chest You see the hope begin to rise Yo eyes get wide and start to smile And he retreats and then you die Cuz what's the point If we conjoined But we ain't whole This space we hold Is just a story to be told for someone else who feels alone These words you wrote while on the phone Burning the time before I'm home You ain't alone but feel alone You said I know that you love me You don't say it no more Time is of the essence what are you waiting for I saw through your windows when you closed all them doors So much you can hide but the eyes always sure Hear you loud and clear You say you waiting on me I find it ironic how impatient you be Spilling out these feelings while I lay on these sheets I come home alone You never waiting on me
