Lip Service and Tommy Mantra - Shade

Why you always throwing me shade
You know it always comes back to you girl
Why you always misbehave
You don't always gotta act so cool now
Act so cool now
Most times when you in my head
I feel a little low, why were you in my bed
When all you did was chose sides, never held my hand
With low eyes, told lies to impress your friends
(It go like)
I thought I missed you
The moment we weren't official, had a vision things were different
Cause part of me was conflicted, your body had me addicted
See, I was so young
Couldn't believe that I built up a habit for ya
How'd it occur, pushed you away
Then you sucked me back in like an elephant trunk
Catapulted, into another dimension
Whenever they'd mention your name I'd fall back in a rut
And though you were lacking in love
I missed you when I wasn't feeling your touch
Then you'd go back to the fussing
When I was so tired of fighting
Never did trust ya, took their advice
When I realized your bitterness would never ripen
I did the right thing, went back to writing
But sometimes I wonder if you ever liked me
You got confessions, I got the time
But right now I'm asking you only one question
Why you always throwing me shade
You know it always comes back to you girl
(Always comes back to you)
Why you always misbehave
(Why you always misbehaving, huh)
You don't always gotta act so cool now
Act so cool now
(Yeah)
(Let it breath)
Princess of palaces cast shadows on my castle
Turned a good man to a madman, left his spirit in the gallows
So be careful what you ask for's not always what you imagine
Love ignites quick as a candle lights but flickers cold to vanish
Pick your pedals off of roses but you still feel frozen, well
Roll your coins down wishing wells hoping someone will come and help
That won't matter though when your broken and tattered soul has been stolen
Your shattered bones tossed in oceans and catacombs never open
Dreams of holy matrimony, ask her if she feels
The same way that you do until you realize her love's not real
You fell victim to her madness when she cast that magic spell
The whole time she had you backwards, flip the blame back on yourself
It's Mantra
(Always)
