Hindsight vs. Insight
The way things ended was on a bad note between us.
But what you taught me was to keep yourself guarded up.
You can say words while masking your true intentions.
Even promise something that would never hold up to it's true meaning.
After it's all said then done, was it worth it?
Did you ever feel guilty for hurting me?
What you left behind was the betrayal that says so much wasted time spending it on you.
When sticking around only made me feel lonelier.
Now it's all come to pass like every bad situation in life.
I've found some real friend's who tolerate, open-minded, accept me and respect me.
Your damn right I'm grateful everyday for something more real than what I had with you.
Instead of letting you win, I'm a chameleon adapting to the world.
Not a zebra who doesn't want to change my ways.
Which one are you today? The chameleon or Zebra?
Life has been spent the best it's ever been since I let you go.
The only thing I'll refuse to do is be bitter over it.
What happened, happened in the past.
That's where it stays; to move forward.
I've got no grievances against you.
I just hope you've done the same.
That you treat other's better than you did me.
Maybe a zebra can change thier stripes after all.
Someone once told me, a zebra doesn't change thier stripes.
But that's wishful thinking in the end.
Yet it's what I pray you'll be a chameleon someday before it's too late.
While some hold grudges, most let it go.
I've forgiven you for myself.
Because honestly, I don't want to become the zebra.
At the end of the day...you're either the Chameleon or Zebra. It's simple as that.
