The Underside of Love by Melodie Yvonne
The underside of you and me lies right below the surface
It waits and smiles and tries to hide, but it will always hurt us
It really doesn’t matter what I do or what I say
‘Cause the underside of you might hide, but it won’t go away
I fight with everything I have to try to make us better
I used to rage but now I’m calm through all your stormy weather
But is it really fixin’ things for me to just pretend?
Wish that I could just believe in you and all of this would end
Wish that I could just believe in every single word you say
I wanna have some faith that you can make it go away
But every time your lips are movin’ all I hear are lies
You’re just spewin’ out excuses, makin’ up your alibis
You shift the blame and try to make it everybody else
You’re pointin’ all those fingers, but not lookin’ at yourself
You’re talkin’ ’bout how Jesus would do this and would do that
But you’re just a selfish glutton suckin’ souls and gettin’ fat
The underside of you’s no longer right below the surface
It’s bubbled up so much that all this heartache isn’t worth it
It really doesn’t matter what I do or what I say
‘Cause I’m done with all your bullshit and wish you’d just go away
