you said it's just one more rep
but that was an hour ago
I'm still here with melted ice cream
watching you love your ego
I count the plates not time
my grind don't pause
even for love I live to survive
this gym's my shrine
you say I'm lost
but this pain fits like a glove
chicken breasts, no sauce
protein shake before I talk
I love you but I've got goals
six pack dreams with aching soul
I hate the way you choose your whey
over me on every day
I bite my tongue I look away
but it still hurts babe every day
I love the whey you buy
even when it makes me cry
you're chasing strength I'm losing mine
but I still say I'm fine
I see you waiting with cake in hand
but my Macro don't make room for that
I swear I'll eat it someday soon
after I finish this next set
it's not that I don't love you
I just don't love the weak me
that mirror saves me daily
even if it means losing "we"
"you never hold me like you hold that bar"
"that bar never lets me down"
"I just wanted one cheat day... with you"
"then you'd see the soft side I hide from the world"
I hate the whey you buy
even more than all your lies
you say it's love but every night
I'm second place to your fight
I love the whey you buy
even when it leaves me dry
you're chasing strength while I survive
alone in love but still I try
"I miss you more than you miss your gains"
"without pain.. there is no progress.. right?"
