COMPLICATED, MY HEART IS OUT OF ORDER

 

I AM MORE THAN JUST A CONVICT’S DAUGHTER

 

 

 

DON’T SAY HE DOESN’T LOVE ME, HE JUST MADE A BAD CHOICE

 

QUIT TELLING ME HE’S A BAD PERSON, SEE NOW I HATE THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE

 

 

 

HE WAS AT ALL OF MY OTHER GRADUATIONS, BUT THIS ONE HE MIGHT JUST MISS

 

ALL FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY, BOY DID HE TAKE A RISK

 

 

 

I LOVE MY GIFT FROM TIFFANYS AND OF COURSE I LOVE THE FUR

 

BUT THESE ARE ALL MATERIAL THINGS , I NEED YOU, MY FA-THER

 

 

 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO PUT HIM DOWN, HE’S BEEN KICKED HARD ENOUGH

 

BEING BEHIND BARS ALL THIS TIME, NOW THAT LIFE HAS TO BE TOUGH

 

 

 

I CLOSE MY EYES AND PRAY FOR HIS RELEASE

 

THEN I SIT AND MEDITATE TO GIVE MY SOUL SOME PEACE

 

 

 

I LOVE HIM MORE THAN WORDS COULD EVER EXPRESS

 

HE’S NOT PERFECT, BUT TO ME, HE IS THE BEST

 

 

 

THE MEMORIES OF HIM, I HOLD CLOSE TO MY HEART

 

WHEN HE GETS OUT OF JAIL THIS TIME, NO ONE WILL EVER TEAR US APART
