You Got Me Misunderstood

You say you care but your actions don't align I'm always waiting on your love but you never find the time You keep me on the sidelines like I'm second best But I need more than breadcrumbs boy I won't settle for less You think I'll always stay here just waiting in the dark But I'm no backup plan I'm the flame I'm the spark If you can't make me a priority then go ahead and choose 'Cause I won't stay where I know I'm gonna lose You got me misunderstood I'm not here to play these games I'm worth more than excuses and your half-hearted claims If you can't give me your time then hit the road it's fine I won't be an option-I deserve to shine Your words are sweet but they don't mean a thing Promises with no follow-through don't bring me anything I gave you my love my heart and my trust But it's clear now boy I was never enough I don't need a love that feels like I'm chasing you down I need someone who'll lift me up not leave me on the ground So take your calls your busy days your endless alibis I won't wait for someone who won't even try You got me misunderstood I'm not here to play these games I'm worth more than excuses and your half-hearted claims If you can't give me your time then hit the road it's fine I won't be an option-I deserve to shine I'm done explaining I'm done holding on You had your chance but now I'm moving on I deserve a love that's steady and real Not one that makes me question how I should feel So pack your bags leave your keys at the door I've found my strength I'm not begging anymore You'll miss the way I loved you the way I cared But when you look back boy I won't be there You got me misunderstood I'm not here to play these games I'm worth more than excuses and your half-hearted claims If you can't give me your time then hit the road it's fine I won't be an option-I deserve to shine I'm not second fiddle I'm a leading role I need someone who sees me and makes me whole If you can't step up then I'm letting you go You got me misunderstood but now you know
