"End of the Road" - Boyz II Men
So many songs, too little time. This music reminds me of lost love. Something all too familiar to me, but hard to pinpoint one in particular since I've had my fair share...unfortunately.
I've liked Boyz II Men since they first popped up back in the early 90's. I feel so old as I write this, but thinking back now I know I just grew up too fast. I was always a step ahead of my years, trying to take on too much responsibility outside of being an ordinary kid.
I remember doing the laundry for the first time the summer before junior-high started and taking the clothes out too soon (before the last rinse/spin cycle). The load was so heavy it almost broke the dryer! Yet I was so proud of myself for taking the initiative to clean my own clothes (even if I did it all wrong). I know I'm just rambling, but this explains who I am today. I'm ok with taking on more than I can handle. I usually mess up the first time around, but even through my mistakes, I keep trying. The problem is I end up doing more than I need to do and inevitably, it leads to disappointment. Someone takes advantage of it.
What can I say, I'm raised to care for others even better than I care for me. I'm taught to go hungry if it means feeding someone more than enough to be full. I'm told to be considerate at all times even when at times, it seems ridiculous to do so. I believe that I should give what I expect back even though I often give and receive little in return. Maybe I'm being slightly pathetic and some may think I'm whining and complaining about my own Miss Misery. I guess I am, but damn...damn it just seems so one-sided and extremely tiring. Here I am doing all that I can do while people walk all over me or just walk away.
I wish I could turn back time and be a kid again. I wish I could start all over. I wish I did more than grow up too soon. I wish I left the laundry dirty and waited to do my homework so I could go outside and have fun. I wish I maintained my sit-ups, my happiness, my own needs before everyone else's. I wish I made more friendships that would last and that I didn't give in so easily to things that could've been saved until much later. I wish I said the things that I wanted to say the moment I wanted to say them even if remorse eventually followed.
I wish I knew how to be selfish and inconsiderate so that all this wouldn't hurt so much.
Lyrics:
Girl you know we belong together
I have no time for you to be playing
With my heart like this
You’ll be mine forever baby, you just see
We belong together
And you that I’m right
Why do you play with my head,
Why do you play with my mind?
Said we’d be forever
Said it’d never die
How could you love me and leave me
And never say goodbye?
Girl, I can’t sleep at night without holding you tight
Girl, each time I try I just break down and cry
Pain in my head oh I’d rather be dead
Spinnin’ around and around
Although we’ve come to the end of the road
Still I can’t let you go
It’s unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Come to the end of the road
Still I can’t let you go
It’s unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Girl, I know you really love me,
You just don’t realize
You’ve never been there before
It’s only your first time
Maybe I’ll forgive you
Maybe you’ll try
We should be happy together
Forever, you and i
Girl, you love me again like you loved me before
This time I want you to love me much more
This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don’t let me, don’t let me down
Although we’ve come to the end of the road
Still I can’t let you go
It’s unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Come to the end of the road
Still I can’t let you go
It’s unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Girl I’m here for you
All those times of night when you just hurt me
And just run out with that other fella
Baby I knew about it, I just didn’t care
You just don’t understand how much I love you do you?
I’m here for you
I’m not out to go out and cheat on you all night
Just like you did baby but that’s all right
Hey, I love you anyway
And I’m still gonna be here for you ’till my dying day baby
Right now, I’m just in so much pain baby
Cuz you just won’t come back to me
Will you? just come back to me
(lonely)
Yes baby my heart is lonely
(lonely)
My heart hurts baby
(lonely)
Yes I feel pain too
Baby please
This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don’t let me go
Although we’ve come to the end of the road
Still I can’t let you go
It’s unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Come to the end of the road
Still I can’t let you go
It’s unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
