For all the men like you

a gift for your travels, as you paint the town

a portrait to remind you, what girls like me go through

loving you, holding you and supporting you

not a word of gratitude

just remember these words and small gestures

of respect and appreciation, loyalty

all of which were given to you on a silver platter

could be the best gift you could give in return.

If you don't hear me, or if you chose not to,

you won't see the colors that are so clear in the picture.

Do you chose to be colorblind to the obvious,

I'm dying inside and you clearly can't see.

I'll stand strong, I won't let you see me through love's eyes anymore,

to prove you wrong, I'm my own person, you don't define me.

You can't say I'm nothing without you, a kiss for luck, I'm on my way.
