lyrics

He cornered and conquered me
Captured me with his most precious camera, his eyes Catered to my cadence while confessing his convictions over coffee on a Sunday morning
Mi Corazon, coaxing me was a coping mechanism for him Our conversations coiled such a connection between us that when our worlds collided
It was anything but catastrophic
It was at that moment I had become more than just a comrade, a commodity
No, I was his cool, I was his complete, I was his choice
Our circle of friends were changing like the seasons and we combatted every force against us
We were so crafty and courageous with our love, we were so cohesive
We were curse words and catalysts, calamity and comfort all at the same time
His canvas is painted deep, cocoa complexity
A man who knows the very core of my center well
So chivalrous, the way he just croons me with his charismatic smile and melodies
I tend to crumble on the inside I clench when he’s inside
He’s a chronic to my insides
But there’s a glow that I can’t hide
Champion with charm, he’s cooler than cool, he’s ice cold
Careful when his hands are upon my mold
The greatest story never told
And if this love was ever deemed illegal, we’d gladly commit the crime
Just to spend a lifetime locked up in each other’s life lines He's the reason for these dope lines
Craving his company like a feign for a coke line He came at the perfect time
Beloved, it has always been you...
