my favorite nothing

Singer:janelle monae

my favorite nothing loved me so

and i'd trick him

he'd treat me

in the end i let go

i never found him worth my time

how selfish

when he'd give his life for mine

he even tried to make a new start

around the time i said we needed time apart

i knew that sticks and stones would break your bones

but i didn't know my words would break your heart

i can't believe love just passed me by

i can't believe i just looked love right in the eyes

i can't believe love just passed me by

i can't believe love just passed me by

see i've been hurt too many times before

i thought that you were going to hurt me too

love lifts me up then brings me down

down

down

i really wish you were around

i never gave you what was due you

i ended up just doing me

i wanted to apologize to you

but now it's too late

because you're six feet under me

i met a boy one day

messed up and broke his heart

he won't come back to me

he's so far gone

you see

i can't believe love just passed me by

i can't believe i just looked love right in the eyes

i can't believe love just passed me by

i can't believe love just passed me by

see i've been hurt too many times before

i thought that you were going to hurt me too

your love lifts me up and then it brings me down

how i wish you were around
