You Think You Had It All Figured Out

by Kalikala Smith

Who would've thought you could be so vulernable
to falling in love?
But as the wave crashes down you realize
you were so blind.

So how does it feel
Now that you're standing alone again?
And how do you know
that you'll never do this again?

There's no one to protect you
from the element of surprise
There's no one to save you from yourself.
There's no one to hold you,
no one to kiss you,
say that its alright.
You gotta figure out what love is,
and what its not.

You didn't know that you couldn't control yourself.
You thought you could lie.
But it came as a curse to feed on you.
You couldn't hide.

There's no one to protect you
from the element of surprise
There's no one to save you from yourself.
There's no one to hold you,
no one to kiss you,
say that its alright.
You gotta figure out what love is,
and what its not.
