Sycamore St. from Chasing Shadows by NmE

Back in my younger days I used to wanna spaaaaaaaaaz
But nowadays I wanna decent conversation
Wondering where we went wrong and how we lost the basics
I’m down to face every last one of ours demons in the basement 
Let’s figure out why in the end we couldn’t even say shit
Till it was too late and you had already drove away with 
My heart left beating on the pavement 
Stabbed so swift the shit was almost painless 

But it wasn’t...
So now I’m just sittin here straight buggin 
Cause I’ve been lovin you since we was both youngins
Like a decade and half removed from the oven 
Mobbin thru the neighborhood just tryna prove somethin 

But we...
we didn’t need to prove shit
What we had was each other to the end and that’s it
Now the love is all long gone lost in the mist 
And I’m stuck sick hittin the wall with my fist 

Reminiscing about all the trips and the laughs
The stolen kisses and the daily butt grabs 
The way I miss it all you don’t even know the half
Why can’t we go back

To 3am documentaries 
Mountain drives on a search lookin for infinity 
Lost in each other’s eyes soaking up the energy
You have no idea what that shit really meant to me
Now it appears to be 

A thing of the past
Why couldn’t we last
We fell of off the path
No theres no last laugh
I did the math and I can’t even divide the half so I 

Nova-caned up so I don’t feel shit
Medicated everyday just to try to get a grip
So I say goodbye with tears welled in my eyes 
Knowing that I lost the best thing to me in my life.... you

(All over the phone)

*Talking about the beginning of the relationship*

*Going over first dates and favorite moments*

*Make mention of the infidelity and ma dukes says nothing ever works out when it comes from infidelity*

*talk about having someone there that loves you but you’re constantly thinking about her*

(X2)
What a day
Been a phase
Take it away
This can’t remain 
If expect to get away
From the thoughts 
that haunt me everyday 
Cause I know nothing 
will ever be the same 
No uh huh It never goes away 
you learn to live your life with the pain 
What more can I say, it’s just part of the game that we all play


Now everyday yo I just wanna quuuuuuuuuuuuit
Cause I can’t help thinkin the same old shit
Now that you’re gone how am I supposed to go live 
It’s crazy how the memories are both a curse and a gift
Ain’t that a bitch

What really blows my mind 
Is you were here the whole damn time 
You said your feelings were the same and exactly like mine 
But the problem was had already crossed state lines

So I’m...
Lost and don’t know what to do 
It’s been four years since you were my boo
But my heart will never be the same without you 
I know I shouldn’t be feelin this way but it’s true

Even when I have someone else that I like
No one will ever take your place in my life 
I really wish I could’ve made you my wife 
But I guess the timing just wasn't right
With no end in sight, I just play it like I’m alright 
Knowing I’m dying every day without having your light 
Movin cause it could be all over by tonight 
So I’ll just live with this regret the rest of my life

And life...
It can be so fleeting it’s misleading 
Thinkin you’ll always make that meeting
When really no ones guaranteed return seating 
So enjoy the journey before it’s your obit that I’m reading

So with this I say my goodbye 
No more days spent in bed tryin not to cry
No more rackin my brain trying to figure out why 
I wish I wasn’t done tryin but over feeling like I’m dying

Plus It’s not fair to you or him and love you too fuckin much to be just a friends
So this is the end 
of a 20yr saga 
& we left with nada
It looked good but I guess that’s why they say the devil wears Prada.
