The confused one.

 

Writing this note to tell you

About us when one was me and you

I realised that I’m the one

Who’s the confused one

I love you till yesterday

But I hold grudges on you today

Please I can express my love none

Because I'm the confused one

Oh! Yeah and what do you expect

Me to be so truly perfect

To be like you nun

You confused one

Also your mistake you said

Please remember I'm no saint

But I don’t believe in guns

Yes, you're the confused one

Then forgiveness is asked

I'm like a coconut being husked

My heart weighs like a ton

OK you confused one

How can I forgive you silly

When you threw it all in lillies

Any forgiveness is still to be none

Because you are the confused one

You say you are confused

About me and you being refused

By each other

Only I prayed we may be together.
