She was the reason I completed graduation season
Her and me in class laughing while the others reading
Age difference I could see all of her friends teasing
But we was in love, all them little girls teething
Above the jokes, tied together like a rope
With the hope that we would grow up and keep them things afloat
Could read each others eyes, never had to speak
Just a glance and a wink, we were synchronized heartbeats
I think back, whoa, after practice shows
Catch a kiss, miss swim practice, I could catch her flow
Hollywood kisses in the rain with the sun bright
Picked her up for Sadies but we wouldn't get to prom night
Finally let those snake chicks sink teeth in
I couldn't breathe when she leaned in and said,
"Let's be friends"
I couldn't see then, thought that she was teasing
Give it till tomorrow, we would laugh about the sequence
But it wasn't so, she went cold, wrote me a note
I read it now, I can see her heart froze
She was the youngest but she wasn't the dumbest
That was me
I apologize for being weak
And at the time, she was everything that I would seek
Took to long to get over our broken link
I felt that we were just getting started
And I missed out on our future my Lynn
Dearly departed
And sometimes I wish that you were back
Years passed, met some rather bad chicks
Get her name, maybe end up on a mattress
But catching feelings didn't happen fast
Until I met another Lynn but she was different from the last
Passion thick, Imagine it, How bad it get
When you repackage it, miraculous another girl like this exsists
To good to resist, I would persist, she would assist
And here I am again in the midst of a living wish
It took time because she had her armor up
It was harder for her but I kept the honor up
I was nervous and I'm sure my game was awful
Stunning looks but she's still my favorite girl to talk to
She would go away but when she would return it's underway
Time going by and we get better like a cabernet
Waiting for the right time, acting like I had a say
Guess that I was praying but the outcome would not delay
It wasn't meant to be, she could not commit to me
And I couldn't blame her, she warred with the Lynn before her
I didn't understand the pressure I was putting on her
She couldn't measure up to the image I had developed
I wish that I could tell her how sorry I am
No matter how much love, I could tell I'd never be her man
I let the first Lynn leave, did too much for the second
Now I'm missing both of them
And I will always regret
And sometimes I wish that you were back....
