prisms cassés [Broken Prisms]


I just hope you know
I just hope you know
To always keep your heart closed
I just hope you know
I just hope you know
That love tends to let you down most (x2)


They say they’d stay down for me
but they ain’t never been around for me
Like where did all my friends go
In times of my real needs?
When I need someone to talk to I thought that I could call you
But you only give to receive though I don’t have means to help you
When I’m dead broke true friends and my new friends show more love
then those I love most, and that hurts worst but hurts most is that
I’m there for you and I care for you when you don’t and I never
asked why when you call I show put your needs over my own cause you meant most
I believe in you when you don’t, love you back when they won’t
Picked you up you felt down and gave my last my last so you’d most
See how colors show as the time past
How friends fade as seasons change
How loves lingers for the meantime
just to use you, abuse you, how life goes,
When values are substituted for getting by,
Now people can’t be counted on in vital times,
Realize that just cause they ride with you doesn't mean they’re riding for you
Anyone can speak on friendship but how many show they’re loyal?


I just hope you know
I just hope you know
To always keep your heart closed
I just hope you know
I just hope you know
That love tends to let you down most (x2)
You don’t know pain till your heart’s broke
What love is bittersweet cause it feels good but most people get the bad end
Blood no longer holds bonds friends no longer backbend like back then you ride or die and you stayed down through thick and thin but now days familiar faces fade to merely people in the crowd, then and now
I look back and and cannot imagine how time changed my mind frame cause people changed directions forgot to count their blessings its just common misconceptions that once someones leaves better things will always come along, sometimes they come back but sometimes they are really gone, time wasted can never be replaced watch who you spend on cause people take all you have, waste your time and then just move along, see real friends are far and few and real love will never end
I just hope my real friends know I am always down for us
Down for you, know the difference between a friend and someone who listens just to take advantage
cause people manage to turn their backs on you, despite what you do for them


I just hope you know
I just hope you know
To always keep your heart closed
I just hope you know
I just hope you know
That love tends to let you down most (x2)
