Yours Everlong by Melodie Yvonne
How do I tell you that you’re going to lose me
When you’re the only one that never abused me
How do I tell you that soon I’ll be gone
When you’re the only one that never did me wrong
I’ve tried and I’ve tried to give you this warning
I’ve tried and I’ve tried to warn you evil’s swarming
But all I’ve been doing is failing this mission
I just don’t know how to make you stop and listen
How do I tell you that you’re going to lose me
When you’re the only one that never abused me
How do I tell you that soon I’ll be gone
When you’re the only one that never did me wrong
I’ll tell you my truth there’s no in between my lines
My feelings for you are written all over my eyes
But as much as I want to I can’t stay here with you
My path is so narrow and you’re still hauling two
I wish I could stay with you right by your side
See my heart is all yours and I got nothing to hide
I gutted myself and showed you my insides
But it’s just not enough to match all of those lies
How do I tell you that you’re going to lose me
When you’re the only one that never abused me
How do I tell you that soon I’ll be gone
When you’re the only one that never did me wrong
How do I tell you that you’re going to lose me
When you’re the only one that never abused me
How do I tell you that soon I’ll be gone
When you’re the only one that never did me wrong
Oh how do I tell you that soon I’ll be gone
When my heart will be yours truly everlong
