I think I finally understand
How you could love someone and leave them.
It must be hard to be a man
Holding back so many feelings.
I saw you slip away
Long before you gave reasons
Couldn't hold you down if you wanted to go
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on my pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on my pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on my pillow
Cause there's no other way for me to let go
I didn't wanna even care
I didn't wanna even miss you
Cause you told me you'd be there
Now should I even try to reach you?
I look in the mirror
I see your face in mine
And it's much clearer now
I need you in my life
But, each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Cause there's no other way for me to let go
I see it in your eyes
Your laugh is a disguise
It used to be magic to me
You're giving me no choice
I hear it in your voice
And it's so sad to me
But I think forgiveness is the season
Wish you could stay I have my reasons
I'm still trying to hold on
To something that's gone
Can't make you stay here with me
Oh but each time I try,
It's like I'm crying in vain
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Cause there's no other way for me to let go
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow
Each time I try,
My tears land straight on that pillow

Kiss my wounds, love me tender
Buy me flowers I've never seen
Wake me up from my dreams
Got to bring me French toast an' tea
In the morning light
Fly across country to spend the night
You said you'd steer a boat across the Atlantic
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
I can't stand it
When I look in your eyes
Unconditionalness, sweetness uncompromised
You set the standard for many things
I wasn't sure what it would bring
You're so fuckin' romantic
Other men wouldn't call just to say, "I love you"
Take your time but I miss you
Is it okay if I see you?
I'll kiss you everywhere, anywhere
Damn sure, me
Please let this moment be
You're always tempting me
You're so fuckin' romantic
I can't stand it
When I look in your eyes
Unconditionalness, sweetness uncompromised
You set the standard for many things
I wasn't sure what it would bring
You're so fuckin' romantic
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
I can't stand it
When I look in your eyes
Unconditionalness, sweetness uncompromised
You set the standard for many things
I wasn't sure what it would bring
You're so fuckin' romantic
We say the same words at the same time
I start a sentence, you finish mine
Laugh at my jokes when I wanna cry
And when I feel lost
I look in your eyes
Even in front of your boys you wouldn't lie
You say, "I gotta see my baby tonight"
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
I can't stand it
When I look in your eyes
Unconditionalness, sweetness uncompromised
You set the standard for many things
I wasn't sure what it would bring
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
I can't stand it
When I look in your eyes
Unconditionalness, sweetness uncompromised
You set the standard for many things
I wasn't sure what it would bring
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic
'Cuz you're so fuckin' romantic

In my fear,
I fear
We're seas apart in old worlds.
We began,
In vibrant colors,
But one of the things you said
And i dread it.
That everything turns grey,
This is where i stray
I, I want so badly,
To say that these things dont exist anymore.
When that indigo
Creeps upon me i cant deny
That i'm blue,
And not like you
When I look into your eyes at times
It's within them i find
A love i never knew,
Still i'm bound to you.
Something inside so strong,
Wont settle in me somehow, i'm not free.
I want so badly, to say that these things dont exist anymore.
When that indigo creeps apon me i cant deny
That i'm blue.
It's past mistakes not hearts that break,
In moral laws respect they take and
It still effects me to.
If my one enemy is me,
Then tell me how to stay true and not be blamed by you.
I, I want so badly to say that these things
Anymore.
When that indigo
I cant deny that i'm blue.
I, I want so badly to say that these things dont exist anymore.
When that indigo creeps upon me i cant deny
That i'm blue,

I'm searchin for my salvation
Oh yeah
I'm tired of dragging
On and on
On and on
Day by day
Days with days ?
I can feel the pain
The world is resting on my brain
I can feel the hurt of a broken child
She's going insane
I pray that she'll make it home
Home [3X]
Times have changed
But we can rearrange the ills?
Society has swept on my feet
Some words I can't even speak
Still pressin
Movin forward
Blindly
Without a trace
Lookin for a reason to go on
On [3X]
I pray to an unknown God
Please reveal yourself to me
'cause hope is sifting from my hands
Like lost time
I can't make believe
I won't make believe
I can't make believe
When I look into your eyes
Do you know me
I'm searchin for my soul
Searchin on
Praying on
Looking on
I am searching
I am praying
I am looking
Searching on
Praying on
Looking on

Got me a date with a supermodel
I know, I knowI think it's funky
Dinner at the hotel, champagne bottle
Steak and potatoes are better in a bucket
Tell me what is there for pretendin'
Not to know, and who needs proof
I don't need so much to remember
No, no. That's how it is when you tell The truth (ow!)
How many times can somebody lie Till patience runs off course
Keep that in mind when we say goodbye, 'Cause you can't get this stuff no more
That's the thing about self improvement
Don't get me wrong, I plan on gettin' some soon
Outside the wire, somethin's movin'
One point down, now I can see the moon
I'm slicing the time, like a pizza pie
Ya serve up the truth, don't want it anymore
Keep that in mind when we say goodbye
'Cause you can't get this stuff no more
(Whoo!) How many times can somebody lie
Till patience runs off course
Keep that in mind when we say goodbye
Cause you can't get this stuff no more
So many times
You can't get this stuff no more
You better keep that in mind
When we say our goodbyes
Cause you can't get this stuff no more

Ooooh
You caught me
Lookin' at you
Forgive me
But if it's treasures
You're seeking
I'm the one who
Could reach them
It's not the kind of thing
You wanna rush or hesitate
It could go
If you step to me
Just come at me
With honesty and you might be mine
[chorus]
Hold on, got it good babby
Believe me it's all good baby baby
Hold on, got it good baby
Believe me it's all good baby baby
Oooh
So soft and
Effortlessly
I'm fallin'
So suddenly
You touch me
If it should be
I just might let in
Just think we could be anywhere
If i could choose
It'd be right here
And i don't let go easily
But something's taken over me
Hold on, got it good baby
Believe me it's all good baby baby
Hold on, got it good baby
Believe me it's all good baby baby
You're saying that our chemistry
Is poetry in motion
And whispering
So preciously
I second that emotion
Hold on, got it good babby
Believe me it's all good baby baby
Hold on, got it good baby
Believe me it's all good baby baby

Closer to my dreams
Coming over me
I'm gettin' higher
Closer to my dreams
I'm getting higher and higher
Feel it in my sleep
Some times it feels like I'll never go pass here
Some times it feels like I'm stuck forever and ever
When I'm going higher
Closer to my dreams
I'm goin' higher and higher
I ain't gonna sleep
Some times you just have to let it go
(Let it go, let it go)
Leaving all my fears to burn down
Push them all away so I can move on
Closer to my dreams
Feel it all over my being
Close your eyes and see what you believe
I?m moving higher, oh
(Higher)
I?m going higher and higher and higher
(Higher and higher)
Closer to my dreams
(Higher and higher, oh oh)
I?m moving upward and onward and beyond all I can see
(Stretching out my arms, so I can breathe)
Feels so close it's like I can just reach
I can feel my dreams
(Closer to my dreams)
I'm moving closer to my dreams
Some times it feels like you never gon' change
(Never gon' change)

Nobody knows what I go through
Indecisions made me passive
They say I want my cake and I want to eat it too
Less satisfied if I don't, consequences when I do
These lessons, they lead me on my way
but when company is tempting me, I'm turned around
but I might wanna go that way,
don't wanna go that way
Well, it's a catch 22
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
Yes, it's a catch 22
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
How many times does it take to learn just one thing,
'cause I keep ending up here
And I'm not a scientist so I just keep on praying that I won't
keep getting the same results each day
I said that I can't be with you
But when you turn away I pull back your hands to stay
(your hands to stay)
So many days turn to years
that brought us here
and we (shied) through time without too many tears
But we still made decisions creating divisions
So many contradictions,
why didn't we listen?
Well, it's a catch 22(catch 22)
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
Yes, it's a catch 22
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
( I'm damned if I don't, I'm damned if I do)
'Cause when I see you looking at her
I can't stand it, my eyes can't conceive
You gave her the smile you gave to me
I love you selfishly
I can feel so strongly
Oh, how you (throw) me
but still you know me
Oh, you know me
Yes, it's a catch 22,
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
(damned if I do)
Yes, it's a catch 22, (catch 22)
Damned if I don't, Damned if I do
(I'm damned if I don't, I'm damned if I do)
To hell with all the promises we made,
the boundaries, the pain
I don't care who's wrong or right
Let's just ignore that tonight, I don't wanna fight
Where you lead me I'll follow
I won't stress on tomorrow
'cause I miss you like the moon misses the sky,
the waves miss the sand,
the leaves miss the breeze flowin' by
So come to me easy,
'cause I know you can please me

You came to me in a dream
All the qualities I asked for
In a man
Just understand me
Love me as you know me
I'll let you know me well
I don't anticipate putting up a gate
Or shelter around my heart.
I intend to find the good in side
Promise the real you
So pure
So I can give you
[chorus]
Butterflykisses
And pleasure you can feel
I'll daze you, even bathe you
If you remain to keep it real
If you love me, love my mother;
Know you my father
Hang with my brother.
Don't discriminate
Or isolate me,
Please let me be myself
I want to wear what I want to wear
And say whats on my mind.
Please be kind
So I can give you
[chorus]
Butterflykisses
And pleasure you can feel
I'll daze you, even bathe you
If you remain to keep it real
Now that you're here
My visions clear.
I'm drenched in love.
Fly like a dove,
And walking through my life with you
Is a blessin oh so sweet-
[chorus]
Butterflykisses
And pleasure you can feel
I'll daze you, even bathe you

[Goapele]
One day alone, sometimes it soothes me,
When that day is through, I'm hoping you'll walk in,
I just miss you, I'll be ok, but it's better with you.
My cornerstone, you're who I go to,
Love that you've shown, doesn't compare to
any I've known, you're the exception to measure.
Pleasure.
My patient love,
forever enduring you,
You.
Oh, you, you.
Oh, you, you.
[Dwele]
Unplug the phone.
No more disturbing our time alone. It's always a journey.
All that I ask of you is to stay past the pain for the pleasure.
Pleasure.
It's been too long, come let me hold you.
Temptation's strong, it's what we go through,
Alas the storm, a new day is born, in the shadows of our love.
[Goapele & Dwele]
One look at you, you see right through me, you know my moods,
you know what I'm thinking, feel what I'm feeling,
cause you're my best friend, true.
Ohhh, you. You.
Ohhh, you. You.
Ohhh, hey.
One look at you, you see right through me, you know my moods,
you know what I'm thinking, feel what I'm feeling,
cause you're my best friend, true.
True.
You see through me.
Ohh, you. You. You. You.
Ohh, you. You. You. You.
[Dwele]

I wanna know what you wanna do
What if I can say there wasn't any rules?
I wanna play, play around,
Tell me if you think that you can get down!
Cause this is what I'm dying for,
I mean, this is what I'm dying to do!
Chorus:
Come here baby, I'll really will touch you
Listen, baby others don't match when
I'm ready to play, I'm ready to play!
Come here baby, whisper in your ear,
Tell you how I'm about to make you feel
I'm ready to play, we can play this game, oh, baby!
I wanna go, where you never been,
This is not what we're trying to...
Said you had a chance, but you really don't know
But I think I can help what you're looking for,
Cause this is what we're living for
I mean, this is what we're dying to do!
Chorus:
Come here baby, I'll really will touch you
Listen, baby others don't match when
I'm ready to play, I'm ready to play!
Come here baby, whisper in your ear,
Tell you how I'm about to make you feel
I'm ready to play, we can play this game, oh, baby, all day!
Listen you should know,
You should know
You'll never be caught,

From the moment I saw you
There was something about you
Just from the look in your eyes
I knew I wanted to stay
How you were licking your lips
I could tell you we're danger
Babe you're the type of boy
Not even love can change
So I know I should leave
But I'm not ready to go
About to ride that wave
Got me in your zone
Caught up in that undertow
Baby you already know
I know I should leave
But something won't let go
Caught up in that undertow
Baby you already know
I know I should leave
But something won't let go
Now when I'm around
You get a little nervous
And it's understood
Cause you're in my zone
It's getting hard to breathe
It feels like nothing can save ya
And I don't want it to seem
Like I already know
You're caught up in that undertow
Baby I already know
You know you should leave
But something won't let go
You're caught up in that undertow
Baby I already know
You know you should leave
But something won't let go
When I hear myself speak
I don't know what I'm saying
I know I'm losing my cool
And I don't want it to show
I'm trying to make it even
Boy you got me off balance
Guess we're both used to being in control
We're caught up in that undertow
Baby I already know
We know we should leave
But something won't let go
We're caught up in that undertow
Baby I already know
We know we should leave

Seeking a summertime love
Just kick it on the low
You know with a vibe and flow
But we didn't know
What the light of day would show
Or if it wasn't meant to grow
And how we'd feel within
What we complain or win
And why you keep a distance
We are emotions [Incomprehensible]
I was afraid of what I was feelin'
Afraid that you would take my heart and go steal it
My pride my soul
Now I know, now I know
'Cuz we were too much the same
I didn't know who to blame
'Cuz I didn't wanna change
We were too much the same
I didn't know who to blame
'Cuz you weren't gonna change
Unfamiliar ways
Came down like rain
Things in myself I couldn't change
But if we coulda chilled then waited a while
But then may now
And shooting stars won't send us running
From each other, from ourselves
And when you got me open
You faked on me
Why'd you tell me that you love me
And then stray away
What you did that day
I promise I would never go waiting
For someone who would never change
'Cuz we were too much the same
I didn't know who to blame
'Cuz I didn't wanna change
We were too much the same
I didn't know who to blame
'Cuz you weren't gonna change
But you can't get something for nothing
So what was mine
Sifted through like lost time
And unclaimed sand in a desert wind
With half my heart I took you in
So I can let you go
'Cuz we were too much the same
I didn't know whoto blame
'Cuz I didn't wanna change
'Cuz we were too much the same
I didn't know who to blame
'Cuz I didn't wanna change
'Cuz we were too much the same
I didn't know who to blame
'Cuz I didn't wanna change
'Cuz we were too much the same
I didn't know who to blame

These are the Daze my friend
We're so far from the end
But we can't wait forever and a day
Forever and a Day
One for your City
Two if you're prissy
Three for the raw real homie
Rollin' wit' me
Four's like the voice in my head
Getting dizzy
Five get it so live
The cops come & get me
Six for the politrix
Seven call the Reverend
Eight DNA certain way
You a felon
Nine feeling fine
Even when the sun shady
Ten that's a dime
Goapele do it crazy
If you miss me when I'm gone
Just know riding on a sky plain
You never know
I could be wrong
Sometimes I'm weak
When I feel strong
Push on
Be strong
Don't wait
Lean on
Sometimes
Pray on
Hold on
Because
These are the Daze
You gotta go for broke
I'm taking all my chances
And if you're scared of transit...
Run for cover
Light is fading
It's getting dark
The sun is fading
Oh they told me
Live today
Like your gonna live forever
Tomorrow paves the way
For the rest of your life
Even if we lose some along the way
It's not worth the hate
No time to hate
Black prophet
Still grandma collar poppin
Do anything for a twenty dollar profit
They push into yo kitchen til yo momma holla stop it
If it ain't first class
Then I'mma try the cockpit
Had some ups & downs
Been dumped around
It's nothing
''cause we ain't sufferin' now
For life we lusted
In God we trust
But now don't discuss it
We going for bust
Hold tight
It's not
Too late
Take it
Right now
It's in
Your hands
Because
These are the days we gotta go for broke
I'm taking all my chances
And if you're scared of transit...
Run for cover
Light is fading
Its getting dark

I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
Baby tell me I’m the only
How without me you’d be lonely
Wrap your arms around and hold me
Cause there’s no other place I’d rather be
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna leave
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
There’s nothing in this world
No face I’d rather see
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
There’s a million things
That I could do or say to prove
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
But there’s no other place I’d rather be
I wanna be with you
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here with you
Right now like this
I just wanna be right here with you
Right now like this
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
Life used to be hallow
Before I meet you
Now you fill me
So I ain’t worried about tomorrow
I’m already living out my future fantasy
And my heart can follow
Exactly what it feels like
There’s a lot of things we don’t know
But I’m sure there’s no other place I’d rather be
I don’t wanna go
No. I don’t wanna leave
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
There’s nothing in this world
No face I’d rather see
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
There’s a million things
That I could do or say to prove
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
But there’s no other place I’d rather be
I wanna be with you
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here with you
Right now like this
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here with you
Right now like this
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
Just say you feel me, we’re where we wanna be
(I just wanna, I just wanna be right here)
If you wondered now it’s plain to see
(I just wanna, I just wanna be right here)
Every moment isn’t meant to last
Let’s savor this before it’s passed
(I just wanna, I just wanna be right here)
Baby I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna leave
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
Here with you
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here
Here with you
I just wanna, I just wanna be right here

Make sense of the world when it’s upside down
Spinning so fast, but for some it just ends
Keep moving on quiet as kept
It hasn’t been long, hasn’t sunken in yet
Then I fall into pieces
I’m here and you’ve left
Fall into pieces
I’ll never see you again
Separate like a puzzle floating in space
So lost in this galaxy of life
So lost
There’s so many things we haven’t said
There’s so many places never went
Wish you could visit every now and then
Oh I keep pretending like I understand
Was it something that I could prevent?
Oh I miss you like a piece is gone
So lost
Cause I fall into pieces
I’m here and you’ve left
Oh I fall into pieces
Never seeing you again
I separate like a puzzle and I’m floating in space
So lost in this galaxy of life
So I rise and fall like the tide
And I’m so full and empty inside
All those memories linger in my mind
Wish you were here with me
I said I fall into pieces
I’m here and you’ve left
Oh I fall into pieces
I’ll never see you again
I separate like a puzzle and I’m floating in space

Credit cards don’t mean a thing
Canary diamonds on a wedding ring
I’ll just say it, cause I mean it
Baby I love you
Be there for me in my time of need
Find other ways to fill my fantasy
And just say it, when you mean it
Baby I love you
It might seem like money
Money’s got it all
But money still could fall babe
It ain’t fail proof
Like our love is
No tennis bracelet shining on my wrist
There’s more important things on top of my list
So just squeeze me, and believe me
Baby I love you
If I could take back every word I said
If I could rewind our story
Make it easy instead
I wouldn’t change it
Baby baby baby I love you
It might seem like money
Money’s got it all babe
But money still could fall babe
It ain’t fail proof
Like our love is
[x2]
Oh baby, come away with me
It will be a great escape
Escape material things
Our love will last a lifetime babe
Our love and the air we breathe
Are the last things for free
It might seem like money
Money’s got it all babe
But money still could fall babe
It ain’t fail proof
Like our love is

If we had a place to go
If we had somewhere to be
Can somebody let it go
Here's your chance so let it be
I don't wanna spell it out
It's between the lines just read
How the story ends you'll find
Rock me to sleep
It'll be like milk and honey
Baby I can tell you want me
Ooh I can feel your heartbeat
And the feelings coming over me
Just lay back, relax, let me blow your mind
Let's take our time
Like honey it feels so warm inside
No matter the day
Your losing the night
No matter the hour
I'm telling you now
Just follow my lead
I'll open like a flower
Honey by the nectur sweet
From the ocean so deep
On the shores I'll hope we'll meet
And fit together perfect...
Just like milk and honey
Baby I can tell you want me
Ooh I can hear your heartbeat
And the feelings coming over me
Just lay back, relax, boy you blow my mind
Let's take our time
Like honey it feels so warm inside
I don't want the feeling to leave
I'm killin em softly
Never had honey so sweet
Now that you got me
Just pull me closer in
Ooh slowly
You give me all I need
Just like milk and honey
Baby I can tell you want me
Ooh I can feel your heartbeat
And the feelings coming over me
Just lay back, relax, boy you blow my mind
Let's take our time
Like honey it feels so warm inside
Just lay back, relax, let me blow your mind
Like honey it feels so warm inside

I won't even think twice
There's no reason to be shy
Oh I, I can't lie
Don't mean to bother but I wish
That you would give it to me right
(Right)
I'm not the type to holla
But somehow you know just what I like
(What I like)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
You don't know how hard I try
(Hard I try)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
Just come on and love me right
(Love me right)
Sometimes it's long before I'm home
I spend the late nights on the phone
(Phone)
No castle waiting in the sky
We make believe that we're alone
(You and I)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
You don't know how hard I try
(Hard I try)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
Baby, you can love me right
(Love me right)
I get caught up when I'm stressed out
I need a place to unwind
Some pushing, pulling anyway
You had me dreaming all the time
Oh I, I've never found someone
Who'd fulfill my every need
It's someone gorgeous
It would be you, you
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
You don't know how hard I try
(Hard I try)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
Baby, you can love me right
(Love me right)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
You don't know how hard I try
(Hard I try)
Oh yeah bae, oh yeah bae
Baby, you can love me right
(Love me right)

He was fourteen years old
All his life he never left the west side
I walked past him everyday heading downtown
Always on the go he was the kind of guy
You never gave your real name to
So young but still trying to game you
But what he was going through, I never knew
Its such a same how people change
And I never really knew his name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
All his life he heard you won't amount to nothing
Low expectations
In need of money few too many choices
and no patience
So what do you know for a good cash flow
you could always sell it's easy to fit the role
But when your living the fast life
he considered all times a go
Its such a same how people change
And I never really knew his name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
Is that how he came around
For his child he'll know now
'Cause he left him with bruises
His words just abusive
The love he didn't show
And what his boy was going through
He had never imagined
But when love turns to hate
It's the worse out of passion
His son was bold
And by then it was too late
From his friend they get console
Then his hands, his shoes
The life or death they couldn't hold
Oh- two seconds cold
He was fourteen years old
Locked up until he's old
It's such a same how moments change
And I never really knew your name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
How moments, how moments change
I wish I could turn it all round for you
I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
And two seconds can change your whole life
[Incomprehensible] all over you

There was boy 'bout two years old
That's much too young too see what would unfold
His dad so bold, so full of lies
Caught up in things that would take his life
He'd leave behind old words unsaid
His loved ones left to deal with it
When his boy got older with less than enough guidance
Needed more assurance, a little strength and courage
But if he knew what he knows now
He may be with us still
If he knew what he knows now, oh
There was girl 'bout three years old
To laugh and play should have been what goes
Her family moved from place to place
Free spirits and money they couldn't waste
She'd be alone more times than few
Too many men trusted and out of view
One took her in and used his mind
Scarred her inside and changed her life
So when she had daughters of her own
Her memories could no longer escape her
They affected all the choices that she would make
But if she knew what she knows now
She wouldn't take the blame
If she knew what she knows now
I was the girl who felt so strong
'Bout anything in this world when I saw wrong
I analyze, sometimes cry alone
When it got too much I had a place to turn
I wish that I could heal your pain
Capture the truth, secrets filled with shame, oh
'Cuz if you want I'll tell the world
All the things you couldn't say
And hope that you can find your way
'Cuz I know what I know now
I was preparing for today
If we knew what we know now
We could have made a better day
If we knew what we know now
We'd know there was a different way
If we knew what we know now
But we all learn by example
We can become our worst fear
Certain lessons we should hold on
Some don't serve us anymore
Our parents raised us how they knew how
They didn't know a better way
I just try as hard you could
Don't wanna make the same mistake
Hope that you can find your way

Hush little baby,
Your momma is coming back soon
Trust me now baby
I’m working so hard for you
I know your daddy is gone
Maybe your daddy was wrong
Listen now baby,
Your momma will take care of you
You know I love you
I’d move a mountain with my hands if I had to
Anything for you
Baby believe me
I hope you can see
That your momma loves you
I love you
Hush little sunshine
I’m on my way home to you
I’ll tuck you in
While I read you a story or two
No matter the day that I’ve had
Baby I miss you so bad
Listen my baby
Your momma will take care of you
This world is crazy
But you’ll be alright
You’ll grow up happy
And that’s all I’ll need in this life
All I need in my life
You know I love you
I’d move a mountain with my hands if I had to
Anything for you
Baby believe me
I hope you can see
That your momma loves you
I love you
Sometimes I feel
Like I can’t do enough
I’m just trying to catch up and be there
When you need me to be
And I don’t ever want to leave
You know I love you
I’d move a mountain with my hands if I had to
Anything for you
Baby believe me
I hope you can see
That your momma loves you

I know sometimes I push you
Say all that I do
See if you'll still stay
I like to have my way
If I took you for granted
Just know, I never meant it
I'll try to be thoughtful
And make sure my heart's pure
Good love's hard to hold
That's why I'm squeezing tight
Sometimes I don't feel you, you don't feel me
We're distant, we need space
But I'm coming back for you
'Cause you're my true blue
You're a Capricorn, I'm Cancer
And sometimes we can't relate
But we meet at the center
That's where love is tender
You're my first phone call, my best friend
You could never be replaced
If I'm not there beside you
I'm just a hop, skip, a jump away
I question everything
It's 10 years and I still can't get it straight
Just know that I love you
Always thinking of you
Good love's hard to hold
That's why I'm squeezing tight
Good love's hard to hold
That's why I'm squeezing tight
I love that you're so truthful
So willing to work it through, you love so brave
My passion is your flame
I don't want you to change
You kiss me softly under covers
And you never make me beg
You even say thank you
And sorry when you're rude
I love you today in the purest way, in the purest way
I love you today in the purest way, in the purest way
Never, never, never, never
Never, never, never, never
Never been so sure before, no
Never, never, never, never
Never, never, never, never
Never been so pure
I love you today in the purest way, in the purest way
I love you today in the purest way, in the purest way
