Teary Eyed
Missy Elliott Lyrics

You're the reason I don't trust no one
You have betrayed me so much that I find it hard to trust anyone now.

And I don't love no one
Your actions have made me feel incapable of loving anyone.

From the places I've come
My past experiences and background have shaped the way I view things and react to situations.

Sad songs I've sung
I have gone through a lot of heartaches that inspired the songs I write.

All the times I've been stung
You have hurt me numerous times in the past.

For you bring the worst out of me (Hollar!)
Being with you brings out my worst qualities and negative emotions.

And I can't down these tears I've cried
I cannot suppress the tears I have shed because of you.

The heaviness inside
I feel an immense weight on my shoulders due to the pain you have caused me.

Left me so petrified
You have left me feeling scared and frozen because of how much you have hurt me.

Tried ta keep love alive
I have attempted to maintain our love, but it has been difficult.

But I became too tired
I have reached a point where I am too exhausted to continue trying to make things work between us.

'cause you bring the worst out of me
Once again, your presence brings out the worst in me.

I wish I could change the way things have gone
I regret the way things have turned out between us and I wish I could have done things differently.

And start life anew and now maybe once again
I long for a fresh start and the possibility of a better future.

I don't know anywhere but something must've went wrong
I am not sure where we went wrong, but something did go wrong between us that caused our relationship to fall apart.

And all I can say
All I can express at this point is my sadness and disappointment.

Is when I sing this song
This song highlights the pain and hurt you have caused me.

I get so teary eyed
Just thinking about the hurt you have caused me makes me emotional.

'cause you get under my skin
You have affected me in a negative way, deeply penetrating my emotions and causing me pain.

Can't let you suck me dry
I cannot allow you to continue to suck the life out of me emotionally.

I was gonna marry you, have kids for you,
I had big plans for our future together, including getting married and having children.

Stay true to you, live life wit you
I had hoped to spend my life with you, being faithful and growing old together.

But look what you've done to me (me)
Your actions have destroyed any hope of a future between us, leaving me broken and hurt.

And I compromised all my time
I sacrificed a lot of my time and energy to try and make things work between us.

And rearranged my life
I had to alter my priorities and daily routine to try and include you in my life.

'cause our love was on the line
Our relationship was in jeopardy, and I was trying everything in my power to save it.

And I became so unkind
Your negative impact on my life has caused me to behave in ways that are uncharacteristic of my true self.

This is (this is) how the story goes
Unfortunately, this is the reality of our situation and how our story will unfold.

Those ones who know
Those who understand my pain and have gone through similar experiences know how difficult and heart-wrenching this is.

When its out of control
When things spiral out of control in relationships, it can feel impossible to recover.

You work (work) and you work (work)
Attempting to make things right between two people can be a lot of hard work and effort.

And some one gets hurt
Unfortunately, in the process of trying to repair the damage, someone usually ends up getting hurt.

And I guess that be me
In our situation, I have been the one who ended up getting hurt.
