A message to women
You deserve better than to be called pretty
You deserve better than to get upset and go online to act petty
You deserve better than to be on hold
You deserve better than to hold onto someone who's already let go
You deserve better than to be held in convenience
You deserve better than to keep your relationship lowkey because
Someone might see it
And someone might ask questions
And someone might wonder
Why someone like you would rather hang around a boy
Who wont commit when someone like them is ready to love you
Is ready to learn you
Ready to show you
Who you are
Paint you a picture of you through his eyes and convince you that you are indeed art
Show you the way he's mesmerized the way your broken heart still beats
The way it flutters when whole eyes and yours meet
The way it silences to express its beat
Show you how much he realizes you need healing from this hurting
I know you
I know something about what you've been through
I know some days feel like heavy weights and hearts with protection
That you've failed to break through and i know what it's like to put heart break on hold
For the love of your life who forgot relationships take two
I know he forgot to say I love you too
I know he forgot to stay faithful
I know you forgot about the time you promised yourself
You'd do better but every time you try to leave something keeps pulling you back
Telling you this is the best you'll ever have in life
So you stay the night
Every night he misses you after remembering your head and how good it works
And how good it feels to know no matter how bad it gets
You'll always come back
I know you
And he does too
We know the way your stomach drops at the thought of him loving someone better
So he knows you wont search for better
And I know you deserve better
I know you deserve better than to have your spirit bruised
I know you deserve someone who empowers you
I know just how beautiful you could be if only you could see your own value
I know you
You're a collection of paradox's
You're a compilation of food for thought
You're a woman before all things
You're more a lover than a fighter after all it seems
You're special
Listen to me
You're special
And I know you know you deserve
Way better than to settle
