Mr. Colson
Cassie Steele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ever met before now
Take a normal picture of life and you
You mess it around
You're just so complicated
I wanna figure you out
Wanna write you on paper so I can
But more than I, you are confused
You don't know why you're head's unscrewed
Maybe one day you'll unbury the truth
'Fore you get too jaded and then you can't take it
I am good for you
I know what you like and I like the same things that you do
Let me inside you
If you just open
Then we'd be rollin' in happiness Mr. Colson
But let me love you
It's all about you
Don't care 'bout nobody else
Wanna break your mirror down
The world is more than yourself
You live half your life
And you fake the rest
I fell for the hero you showed me
'Cause you had past success
But more than you, I am confused
You never care 'bout when I'm blue
Call me your girl
And I'll call myself fool
But I'll still protect you
From what's against you
I was good for you
I know what you believe
I see the same way as you do
But you closed me out of you
If you just open
Then we'd be rollin' in happiness Mr. Colson
But let me love you
If I can't have it
Won't waste my time grabbin'
Wrote you down, grab it
Never took you for granted
I was inspired
Yes, I'm pleased with my mind's work
I'll sleep when I'm tired
'Cause you started a fire
And now I can laugh
'Cause I open and grab
Something you'll never have
Yeah, now I can laugh
I was good for you
But it's good thing that I didn't sink for a fool
You were just my muse
I got so much story, nothing can hold me 'til I find a new man
That's broken like Mr. Colson
That's broken like Mr. Colson
That's broken like Mr. Colson, yeah
Why'd you have to break me?
Oh, Mr. Colson

Line by Line Meaning
Ain't nobody like you
There is no one else like you
I ever met before now
That I have met until now
Take a normal picture of life and you
You disrupt the typical expectations of life
You mess it around
You create chaos
You're just so complicated
You are difficult to understand
I wanna figure you out
I want to understand you better
Wanna write you on paper so I can
I want to create something about you
Sing your song by mouth
I want to express your story with my voice
But more than I, you are confused
You are more confused than I am
You don't know why you're head's unscrewed
You don't know why you feel mentally unstable
Maybe one day you'll unbury the truth
You might eventually uncover the truth about yourself
'Fore you get too jaded and then you can't take it
Before you become disillusioned and can't handle it
I am good for you
I am beneficial for you
I know what you like and I like the same things that you do
I understand your preferences and have similar ones
Let me inside you
Let me get to know you intimately
If you just open
If you become more open
Then we'd be rollin' in happiness Mr. Colson
Then we would be very happy, Mr. Colson
But let me love you
But let me express my love for you
It's all about you
You are self-centered
Don't care 'bout nobody else
You don't care about anyone else
Wanna break your mirror down
I want to shatter your self-image
The world is more than yourself
The world is bigger than your personal desires
You live half your life
You only live partially
And you fake the rest
You pretend that part of your life
I fell for the hero you showed me
I was deceived by the character you presented
'Cause you had past success
Because you achieved previous accomplishments
But more than you, I am confused
I am more confused than you are
You never care 'bout when I'm blue
You never show concern when I'm sad
Call me your girl
Refer to me as your girlfriend
And I'll call myself fool
And I will consider myself foolish
But I'll still protect you
But I will still look out for you
From what's against you
From those who oppose you
I was good for you
I was beneficial for you
I know what you believe
I understand your beliefs
I see the same way as you do
I have a similar perspective as you
But you closed me out of you
But you shut me out of your life
If I can't have it
If I cannot obtain it
Won't waste my time grabbin'
I won't waste time trying to grab it
Wrote you down, grab it
I wrote about you to capture it
Never took you for granted
I never underestimated you
I was inspired
I was motivated
Yes, I'm pleased with my mind's work
Yes, I am pleased with my mental creation
I'll sleep when I'm tired
I will rest when I need to
'Cause you started a fire
Because you initiated passion
And now I can laugh
And now I can find humor
'Cause I open and grab
Because I became open and proactive
Something you'll never have
Something that you will never experience
Yeah, now I can laugh
Yes, now I find amusement
But it's good thing that I didn't sink for a fool
But it's fortunate that I did not play the fool
You were just my muse
You were just my source of inspiration
I got so much story, nothing can hold me 'til I find a new man
I have many experiences to share, and I will not be held back until I find a new partner
That's broken like Mr. Colson
That is broken like Mr. Colson
Why'd you have to break me?
Why did you have to hurt me?
Oh, Mr. Colson
Oh, Mr. Colson
