Altruistic
verse 1
I know it’s been some time
since I’ve been off your mind
but you peeled open like a lime
showing all your bitter and sour
You told me you would take me to the stars
Drive out of this world and make it ours
But I know your true colors
You were only pretending to be colorful
You painted a smile across your face
You always looked at life
through rose-tinted glasses
You would always call me ominous
for being worried about you
taking time from me
You say we got to take this for granted
that life is a road trip and everyday there is
new a adventure to discovered
and that we only live once
chorus
Two lovers lost to time
that phrase describes us perfectly
You would insist to stay in the shade
but I wanted to be in the sunlight
You would say you were a modest person
But you were actually an egotistical
You only view life base
on how things go your way
You never cared to hear what I have to say
All I wanted you to ever be was altruistic
Verse
I’m strong enough like a brick wall
but everything you have to say
it’s tearing me apart
You were always conceited about yourself
that when I brought up my situations
you made it all about you
The fights we would have at 3AM
when I would confront your narcissism
But to you it was just a game
and thus I was added to your list
of hearts you broke
chorus
Two lovers lost to time
that phrase describes us perfectly
You would insist to stay in the shade
but I wanted to be in the sunlight
You would say you were a modest person
But you were actually an egotistical
You only view life base
on how things go your way
You never cared to hear what I have to say
All I wanted you to ever be was altruistic
Bridge
You were so arrogant
but you would disguise it
as being precise and elegant
I used to think I was the problem in this situation, but it was you with your corrupted
behavior
to make me believe that It was my fault
when it was yours
you didn’t even say sorry or
that you never meant it
chorus
Two lovers lost to time
that phrase describes us perfectly
You would insist to stay in the shade
but I wanted to be in the sunlight
You would say you were a modest person
But you were actually an egotistical
You only view life base
on how things go your way
You never cared to hear what I have to say
All I wanted you to ever be was altruistic

I wrote this song from using advice from my teacher, asking her what altruistic meant. So then I wrote this song using the new word I used! Hah 🙂
