Respect Yourself

You deserve better than the way he treats you
Better than you're treating yourself
It's about respect
Darling , does he honestly respect you?
It's complicated, right?
"He does respect me,
but he has reasons for not being with me
and I respect him
by understanding"

Oh baby, you got another thing comin'
If he LOVED you
He'd have no reasons for not being with you
If he RESPECTED you
He'd show the world you are his
Legitimate.
But right now he's too busy playin' games
Too busy getting what he wants without
Paying up

Trust me
I've been there
It's a classic case of
"I want my cake and I wanna eat it, too"

So you tell yourself, and everyone else
you're done
Never gonna see his face again
But you know
And I know
You're just waiting for him to call
Invite you over
And maybe this time
He'll see how much you mean to him
Or how much he means to you
And maybe this time
Just maybe
He'll open his eyes and realize...

But if you walk away
He'll never get the chance
And then you'll never get the chance
But what you don't see
Or what you choose not to see is
You never had a chance to begin with
The moment he realized
He didn't have to respect you.

Author notes

I'm kinda just talking. Tired of shit on tv.Tired of the people around me being stupid. Tired of all these women who think they found the perfect man.
The one to hold them
The one to be with them
The one.

Only problem is "the one" is married and cheating on his wife. Or girlfriend. He's stupid and doesn't know what he wants...but he knows he wants to be with you...he thinks...but he doesn't know. Or, the "I'm not looking for a serious relationship because I just got out of one, but lets act like we're a couple and have sex and do all those couple things but lets not tell people about us, okay?"

Honestly women are to blame just as much as men. Grow a back bone and say enough is enough. Respect yourself. If you don't then no one else will. I hate to be so harsh, but god ladies, what do you expect?

Some men are bastards but what does this say about the women who stay with them? I'm in no way saying it's right and I understand there's a lot of manipulation. These people feed off your weaknesses. I've been there. Done that. And that's probably why I feel so strongly. If you don't stand up for yourself now the next guy who comes along is just going to do the same thing.

Just...grow up.
