Spoken Word
Why do we always argue?
Is it because I always gave my all and it wasn’t enough?
I was always there when you would shed your tears and yes i know what you were going through was though
I’m sorry the one time you needed me i wasn’t there
But you can’t seem to let that go and that’s the part that isn’t fair
Why do we argue?
Why do we always argue?
Why…do…we…always…argue?
We always argue because you can’t seem to separate the good from the bad
A million good things would happen between us but only one mistake makes everything seem so sad
We argue because i couldn’t seem get you
I always said it was good let you speak about your feelings
But when you said what really annoyed you, it felt like if i said the wrong thing it would lead to us disagreeing
We argue because i have to pay attention to your needs, make time for mine and always try to hold us down
It was always my job to try and make sure that we wouldn’t drown
But you never saw that because you always paid close attention to my flaws
Like you was always waiting for me to mess up to give me a petty round of applause
We argue because you can no longer be my person
The person who would always check up on me when she noticed the slightest change in my tone
The person who would never let me deal with all my demons and problem alone
The person who was always willing to hear me talk and always wanted to come with me on my walks
We argue because i can no longer be your person
The person who would shower you in gifts even though you didn’t like it
I especially did that after arguments and that’s hard to admit
The person who would cater to your needs because i knew you needed someone to be your rock
But I always knew I was holding you back…
You were flourishing and achieving all your goals, i was the thing holding you back
We always argue because i never seem to put my words in the correct order when talking to you
And my tone of voice makes it seem like i’m done with you
I should have know that yes everyone has their ups and downs but i would drag you with me
When i saw you with other people your eyes twinkled and with me it dimed even by a little
I know you love me but we can both agree
I should have known that if i put on this brave persona you would have seen right through me
I should have known i was best for you and it wouldn’t let us grow and just be
But my love was always real, never fake
I don’t regret us but we both made mistakes
That’s why I can no longer be with you
That’s why we always argue
