tracie

Tracie, I still think about the hours we’d spend

Just talking and laughing, I didn't want it to end

You were so passionate, tender, and kind

The sweetest connection that a man could find

But behind that soft smile, you were quiet and sly

Hiding a whole other world from my eye

They say you never know what you have till it’s gone

But I couldn't keep holding when the rhythm went wrong

You couldn't let go of the streets and the lies

And I won't know what I didn't have, until it arrives

I tried to be your peace, but you needed the rush

The drugs and the street life, hiding out in the hush

You traded our magic for the shadows and lust

So quiet and sneaky, breaking down all my trust

It hurts to remember the cheating, the pain

Watching a beautiful love wash away in the rain

You were two different people wrapped up in one soul

The woman I loved, and the streets in control

I’m letting you go, though it's heavy and hard

I've got to make space for a faithful heart

'Cause you never know what you have till it’s gone

But I can't keep holding when the damage is done

You couldn't let go of the streets and the lies

And I won't know what I didn't have

No, I won't know what I didn't have, until it arrives
