Shoes Don't Stretch
Twenty Four years and so much to tell.
Who Would’ve known I’d put me through hell.
On top of the world at eighteen moons
Not a care in my life, no open wounds.
I had the world in my hands: school, work and a car.
Little did I know despair was not far.
I made a choice, foolish as could be.
I should’ve listened to all who told me
You were no good, no good for me.
I fought, I cried, I worked, I tried,
And everyday you only lied because
Shoes don’t stretch and men don’t change.
All my life I feel deranged
For believing that you’d be there.
I never thought it’d be this strange.
People could change, I always believed
If given the push that they need.
Damn, I was wrong. my dreams were crushed,
Heart broken, and no one hushed.
Every day I’m reminded of the way I failed,
Every “I told you so” rings like a bell.
Since that day in January that changed my world,
Misery’s been my song, Hopelessness my girl.
Because shoes don’t stretch and men don’t change
And all my life I feel deranged
For believing that you’d be there.
I should’ve known that life’s not fair.
Years gone now and I’ve learned the hard way
So young girls listen when I say:
Shoes don’t stretch and Men don’t change
So don’t let him treat you that way.
You’re beautiful, no matter what they say.
You’re beautiful, You’ll learn along the way
That shoes don’t stretch and Men don’t change
So don’t depend on him for all your things
Cus the day he finds that he’s through,
The one to take care of you is you.
So get on your feet and do what you do
And believe me when I say that you
Are capable of all your dreams
But always remember One thing:
Shoes don’t stretch and men don’t change
Every day I feel deranged
For believing that he’d be there
Oh I hope you realize that life’s not fair.
