Broken Shoes Lyrics by Topi Mandela

Keep Your Apologies (EP)

2017

[Verse 1:]
Innocent adolescence
First love ignited like cinnamon candles
Breathe the essence
I have no shame at all
I'll call you by your name Alexis
Cuz you the bar I set
For girls I've met out here in Texas
This type of mindset probably isn't even close to healthy
And I know going through our old messages ain't gon help me
My niggas say "man fuck these hoes" but ain't shit they can tell me
Cuz they can't find no one compatible like you to sell me
Sometimes I wish that I could flush you out my memory
I wrote so many songs for you
This one is a summary
The summertime of 2011
My discovery of infinite affection
Why'd you tell me you're in love with me?
Cuz that shit stuck with me
And now I'm stuck on you
You needed to be free
So you ripped off the glue
Remember we made our vows
I know that we were kids
But I'm still reminiscing
On all of the things we did
[Chorus:]
It wasn't my choice that I had to leave
There's certain things that we just don't control
Hurt me to kiss you goodbye on the cheek
I still can't get over that first hello
You were sincere and had nothing to lose
I was maturing and needed to grow
Back to my youth running with broken Shoes
Cuz chasing you put a hole in my soul
[Refrain (x2) :]
Broken Shoes...
Feet bruised
Trippin over you...
[Verse 2:]
Spent money I was barely making
On a flight ticket just to come visit
Took ya up to Mackinac Island
Shelling out cash just to be exquisite
Body language speaking to me
Louder than ya lips, you made it so implicit
I could tell that you were entertaining someone else
Almost asked you who is it
But I knew it wasn't my business
Even though I was feeling bitter
Saw it coming like an eyewitness
Subtweets when I hop on Twitter
Know I got ya momma number saved
Looking at it like I might call
Used to hit her just catch up
Now y'all both so far gone
Maybe cuz I'm on a different coast
What if I just need to grow up
Got me feelin like I do the most
Thinkin' bout you when I po up
Then I see the pics you post up
Realizing that you moved on...
Shit...
[Chorus (x2):]
It wasn't my choice that I had to leave
There's certain things that we just don't control
Hurt me to kiss you goodbye on the cheek
I still can't get over that first hello
You were sincere and had nothing to lose
I was maturing and needed to grow
Back to my youth, running with broken Shoes
Cuz chasing you put a hole in my soul
[Refrain (x2) :]
Broken Shoes...
Feet bruised
Trippin over you...
