Analysis of Ex



Took too many shots
 so I could forget about you,
only to end up thinking about .
I pray for memory loss because ,
I broke so many rules so I could keep up
with the pace . Young love they say it is.
So many break up songs started
 making sense now.
Truth be told, you're the best thing
 that ever happened  to me.
Too bad all the good memories aren't
good enough to keep us going .
I let my guard down on you,
every bit and piece of my soul on you ,
I trusted God through you .

A quick reminder of you made me dizzy
Iike a roller coaster. My confidence booster,
but like has got us a twister.
I bow down on my knees like a believer.
Anxiety has got me like a choker
Don't get me wrong ,I don't hate you,
I hate the decision and I hope it got you sane
Because it has made me insane.
