ShyLock - Up All Night

I'm the raccoon in your dream
I'll come and sweep you off your feet
And save you from everything
That came along before me
But it wasn't before long
I felt someone else creeping
But you wouldn't speak it
Well I guess we're keeping secrets
I've been up all night with a headache, I can't sleep
It's got me thinking 'bout what you keep sayin' to me
All this 'why don't you like me?'
And 'just tell me you love me
Look at me, kiss me
What's wrong, don't you trust me?'
Of course I don't trust you
You remember how this started?
You wore a blindfold so I'd
Bring you back to my apartment
Are you happy or sad? Don't look back now
It's a trap, you'll get back from here, don't ask how
Didn't want you knowing where I was
I knew you'd never get enough
Now that you're glowing from the buzz
You think you're fallin' up in love?
You think you're the first one to tell me you love me, hun?
In that case, you're the first girl that ever made me
Why are we still doing this?
Why are you still asking me?
The moment that we met
We both knew that we were attracted to each
Other's where it started, a dead end is where it led
Our situation back then didn't allow us to spend
Any time together to talk
Unless you snuck out at night
And we hid around the corner
Where we were just out of sight
From anyone, but no matter
We were there, it was right
It just wasn't the right time
Except for that one night
A brief exchange of a moment
That would allow us to remember
A memory of each other we could carry forever
Until we came back together, never to be severed
Torn apart, a connector with several arteries
Attached to my heart, the key is
All scattered, I can't believe, it's
All pumping blood to my center
So don't take forever, please
Jeez, I said I'll surrender
With no regrets, it's a breeze
In the end when we're together
And I found a missing piece
I do love you, okay? Do I really have to say it?
It'll come out when I'm ready, let's just not overplay it
Those words are sacred
An oath that's about to be taken
Until it breaks, we fill with hate
Because this love is forsaken
I said I fuckin' love you
Would you gimme a break?
My heart aches from years before
All the girls that always take and take
And take a little more cuz I never give enough
Ain't a girl that exists getting my undivided love
Y'all are bust, intelligence not up to my standard
Get me some cheesecake, then I'll call the wedding planner
And tell them it's my mistake
What we have here is a girl
She takes matters in her own hands
And into her own world where
Every fight we have, you throw your words like little punches
In the guts, but I stay calm and quiet just because
Once it starts I can't be held accountable for words that come
Out from my mouth, they hit like little bullets off my tongue
I blow, it's a volcano, lava overlaps my gums
It's a tornado, how fast it spins you 'til your stomach's spun
A tsunami coming at you, you'll be either drowned or crushed
By what you're driving me to say because you drove me fuckin' nuts
All this anger I've been sitting on, building and storing up
On a hanger in the closet, a shirt that's been torn up
With memories, it's coming out, about to shake off the dust
With a little honesty, a privilege being lovers affords us
You say I don't respect you? For the record, hold up
Think I'm a moron? You had issues long before you showed up
Here, from now and forth on, I don't even wanna hear it
You create your own problems
Then you sulk and don't go near it
You do nothing to solve it
And help from me is finally gone
Every time I spoke you looked at me like I was speaking Klingon
But you like the gifts, and all the ones you got for no occasion
Now we barely talk but I can see that you still have the ring on
Got the shoes, pants, scarf, jacket and earrings on
You got the blue dye, hat, necklace and fuzzies on
New life, nice house, lip-stain and love songs
You love it so much, you even got your blush on
Then there's a hush, yeah, you better fuckin' blush
I'd be embarrassed too for ever taking this much
And never giving nothing back, and you've had a million chances
You keep taking and taking, the only shit you come back with is
To give me attitude about the money spent on you
Knowing that someday I'll probably grow to resent you
All the presents were to get you on your feet, be presentable
To the world, but as seen through your deluded spectacles
Anything I could do to help you fly while I protect you
Print you resumes and drive you around the neighborhood, I'll get you
Til you walk on your own, you said you're ready so I let you
Go off on the road, and I was so impressed with you
Being responsible and we were happy, no regrets until
You come running home with nothing to show, it's detrimental
How'd you screw it up so quick? Barely a month, they let you go
Then you come home and lie for days that you're not on the schedule
And I still tell you it's okay, Red Lobster for dinner, yo
I know it's your favorite, try to cheer you up a little
Til a week goes by and now my curiosity is tickled
Til you finally fuckin' spill it, that you're back to doing dick all
I said this was your last chance, still not showing any plans
Intentions or inclination you'll be getting off your ass
And I can't stand it, I'm almost running out of gas
You've taken so much out of me
I need to just move passed
I don't resent you
I gave you all I could extend you
The help I gave was cuz
You were special and I accept you
And expected just the truth
And affection that I express you
Now you have the fuckin' nerve
To tell me I don't respect you?
No regrets, our problem
Here has been discontinued
You're exempt, no longer caged in a zoo
Like we were chained to each other
But staying in different rooms
While you're shooting for the sun
And I'm aiming for the moon
From where I sit in my tree
My anger's starting to seize
It retreats for a moment, finally feeling release
Between us, no stone throwing
My mind is almost at ease
It's just a relief to know that
You aren't my missing piece
You clearly have a piece missing
It doesn't resemble me
So I just ask that you leave
There's no need to make a scene
No need to make big deal over a couple of g's
It's on me, so don't even worry
I might see you again
But don't come back in a hurry
Just go out and do you
And do a little maturing
And now I can do me
I'm obvi still soul searching
Though I probably don't see
That I've found the right person
