I Tried By: Tamara Dione

I tried to love you into loving me

Fuck you into fucking with me

Trust you into trusting me

I was very consistent

And persistent

But you just weren’t interested

Him or You By: Tamara Dione

You wanted him to crave the inner you

He simply wasn’t into you

Yet you let him enter you

So, who hurt your feelings?

Him or You

My Heart By: Tamara Dione

My heart says it was always you

My Mind says it could never be true

So, what am I supposed to do?

Trapped and confused

Yet you’re amused

Am I in love with an allusion?

Created by my lack of

Just trying to fill the void love

The one I chose no one above

Do I want or need you?

For you there’s nothing I wouldn’t do

Heart and mind are at constant battle

And I’m in the middle stuck

Questioning my sanity

Which part of me do I trust?

Is this an attachment to you

Or is it lust

I enjoy how you bust, and I swallow your soul

As you enter my temple

And continue to mold me

When we’re connected, I give you full control

Whatever it is you demand

Your wish is my command

I’m giving you all of me

You’re not even my man

Is it reciprocal?

Or just typical

I’m falling hard, I hope it’s not a fraud

Pause By: Tamara Dione

All I needed was a moment to pause

No good job, no cheer up, no applause

All I needed was unconditional love

Not fly by night or when it’s just right

Or any of the above

Forehead kisses and warm hugs

All I needed was I got you

But instead, it was sorry not you

I didn’t want to be a superwoman today

I wanted to hang my cape

I didn’t want to lay up, but lay down and you still be there

When I awake

A get away an escape

All I wanted was my mind at ease

Knowing if
