When love is not madness, it's not love.
Pedro Calderon

She was an angel, brought to me by the grace of our God.
And whether she embraced it or not,
She had me hooked after a look at her face and that bod.
And I don't like to say this alot, but I'm takin' a shot,
Layin' my pride on this table, baby don't break it apart.
I ain't sayin' I'm the greatest, cause let's face it, I'm not,
But I just want a place in your heart.
Cause you've got one in mine, and I'd say that's a start...

You see, Brittany had me by a year and a half.
And everytime I'd see her in class
We'd smile, maybe even share in a laugh.
When I'd stare at that ass,
Weather changed from windy and foul, to airy and glad.
But when she left, it went right back back to dingy and down.
She was always in the latests trends, staying briskly in style
And could sing a Siren's song with simply a smile.
Without flinching her mouth,
Her body language never hinted towards "give me awhile"
And from the signals I was picking up, she wished for it now.

But down deep in my gut, something felt drastically wrong.
Cause when we passed in the halls,
I could see where her secrets sat, stashed in her dome.
I had to pry them out, she told me how her daddy was gone
How she grew up her whole life as a bastard at home.
And as the tears ran their course down that beautiful face
I stayed true to my faith,
I told her I was there for her, that I would do what it takes.
Show her the way to happiness, like she was new to the place,
But little did I know...
She'd practiced finding happiness from the cruelest of fates.
So she knew what it took, she'd been there, knew where to look.
I tied to be the nice guy, by staying true to the books.
But to her I was just the newest of crooks
Trying to steal her heart, and I knew she was shook,
Probably shoulda slowed down, maybe grant her some space
But I was in love with this girl ya'll, after a handful of dates.
Nah, more like the first time I saw her, just standin in place
I was frantic to taste, she was the epitome of beauty,
And everything I did for her got banished to waste...

She told me she met someone, he erased the hurt in her eyes,
And that for the past few months, she had yearned for a guy.
The best spurt of my life,
Damn...how'd I let it turn out to be the worst in disguise?
She said he did the sweetest things, at the most perfect of times.
All the things I wanted to do, but never had the courage to try.
I was cursin' my whole world, as it went from perfect to dry,
And as I turned to the sky
I looked up at God, cursin' cause it was my turn to cry.
In the comin' weeks that passed, she came back to me at last,
Told me this guy had hit her, man I wanted to beat his ass.
The thought of him defacing such a masterpiece was sad
But it didn't seem so bad,
Compared to what she said next, that I was the only thing she had.
Her BEST FRIEND in the world, more than she could dream to ask.

And so that was it, my whole existence came crashing in
I spent weeks overanalyzing, without ever cashing in
Not realizing our potential, till a dude took her back with him.
So I guess that's the end,

I crossed the friend line...

Should've asked her to see the light, I wanted her to be my life,
But I died one too many coward's deaths,
I guess I just ain't the hero type...

A coward dies a thousand deaths. A hero dies but once.
