Prince VA - In The Dust Lyrics

I used think it's overdue
Everything we did and it was all a ruse
Never even told me what was wrong with you
Got me twisting turning on a summer moon
Never made it out the room
You made the decision it wasn't mine to choose
Turning your back fore I had a chance to prove
What I could do how I could've changed the mood
When you're on the ground
But if the tables turned, I could never
Hurt you, keep the truth, from me now all along
Left me confused, had no clue, couldn't see it through
Didn't need to pull my strings did me no favor
The feel on your skin left craving your flavor
Believed in everything needed a savior
Took a chance, was a long time coming
But it's all in the dust
Never wished upon these battle scars
Is it self-inflected I can never tell
But I still wish you well, can't distinguish, is this heaven or hell
From the thoughts provoking myself to realize that I can never do no better
That wasn't clever but as I writing up this open letter
Want you to realize that every endeavor I'll ever encounter way down the line
This pen of mine all that I got, always keep it by my side
Constantly left in the mud like the petal tryna sprout can't get out I keep getting cut from stem
And I condemn all the mayhem taking place from the am to demon hours
I'm looking up and I'm conversing with the higher power
Like a florist yeah I need my flowers
Done tryna scour through these toxic everglades we find ourselves in before it's too late
Before I reach the point where imma break
Just tryna break off
Didn't need to pull my strings did me no favor
The feel on your skin left craving your flavor
I used think it's overdue
Everything we did and it was all a ruse
Never even told me what was wrong with you
Got me twisting turning on a summer moon
But it's all in the dust
