Their eyes... so cold
Their visions are lost
Inside their veins
Threre's nothing but pain
I stand with them
The answers: "We're in"
And the night goes on...
The answer - "I'm in..."
Hook Cuando mi jente se juntan como familia
Lo siento en mi corazon
Celebramos con alegria
Y junto somos boricua, cubano, columbiano, mexicano,venezulano, dominicano
andando mano a mano
When All my people, Come together like family
I feel it inside my heart
Celebrate with Joy (2x)
Dancing to the rhythm of love
And it's bugged
It's all about learning when push comes to shove
I'm caught up in the rapture
Capturing the moment
Hoping to make up for time that was stolen
Patroling the beat
Never speaking defeat
Hip - hop and salsa flavor the beat
Got the neighborhood gathered and dancing in the street
God, love and family
Everything is complete
Now let me speak to my people
Give love to mi jente
Boricua
Dir me si me siente
Understand - entiende
I got love for all man
but my pride and my joy belongs to my land -
Puerto Rico
The beautiful island
I stand in awe of God's beautiful creation
Creativity in making every color, creed
One nation - under Him
Inspiring
Me to write and to sing
Thanks for everything
My parents, my land and my heritage
Now I give all I got
Pledge my allegiance to Christ, family and hip-hop
Won't compromise what I drop Born to rock
I represent the puertoroc
That'll bump me in their system
When they're cruising through the block
Whether summertime, winter, spring or fall
Stay true to your fam
And one love to all
Hook Cuando mi jente se juntan como familia
Lo siento en mi corazon
Celebramos con alegria
Y junto somos boricua, cubano, columbiano, mexicano,venezulano, dominicano
andando mano a mano
When All my people, Come together like family
I feel it inside my heart
Celebrate with Joy (2x)
(Verse 2)
Yo pass me the malta throw on some salsa
Me and my familia dilme lo que falta
Not one drop when it's Christ Family and Hip Hop
There's just reason to love no reason to lick shots
And it just don't stop - Love to the Puerto rocks
From the west coast hood to the east coast ghetto blocks
Especially Mission Park
Where I was raised with my people
Venezuela to Panama , Cuba even the samarui
Frank stallone Big Red and the fightin Irish
But to see my fathers land that's first on my list
The land I'll kiss, it's the land that I missed in mychildhood Instead I grew up in the wild hood of 02115/
But still it's my hood
If I could change anything from those days/
I'd alter the fact that good people got sprayed
I'd change the ways that my people got played
But I'll never change the people or the streets that made it what it was
Hangin out 'till late night buggin just because
Never knowin that some would grow up to be thugs
Others to sell drugs others to find love but thats just the way it is
Some people locked up others are raising kids
But whats amazing is how the days have passed
Every seed that you have planted
Will show thorns soon
Will do the harm
Every light in your life
That you have snuff out
All that is gone forever
Unreal like dreams...
It sems that all we have left
Are memories of yesterday
So go further down
Show that you are nobody
Hope with childhood times
Drift away
This photograph
that you have brought me
is fearful, grey
and it's a color of dying
This miserable, old picture
Reminds me hope
Grave still skies
Welcome you
Through endless stars
Falling down (like you)
Time to run away
Time to hide
Grey haze like lies
An endless snow
It's flying time
The one we know...
Time to run away...
Awaiting in lies
When you must say the word "goodbye"
I miss the wind that could move
Our still dreams
And airy needs...
And dry your eyes full of loath...
Release you soul like a weak snow
Answer the depth o bitter taste
How does it feel when something starts?
Many ways of fruit and water
Parents cab never leave their love
Children then escape in their own way
(that changes everyday)
Years go by with seasons for death and life
Sometimes you ask
What is next?
You watch snow then rain and sun
Normal life never scares you...
What's inside?
You hear voice of the past
It means that you are getting old...
Time is never on your side
Remember these words, sweet child
My sister of tears...
We sit by the sea of dreams
And talk looking at each other... and smile...
Hello sweet sunset
It's time to set you free
My eyes look on your desert of time
Deep inside I knew that everything may fall
Because my weakness wanted to take its revenge
Sorry for keeping your for so long
I know that smell of the day feels so good
However this morning there is gravity within
And it keeps us no matter what we do
I try not to hear the warnings
Not to hear the sound of a true life
Maybe it's too far to say no...
And stay alone and with a blind mind
But when I touched your face
I knew that there was some faith
But it is gone by now
Do you like my ugliness?
And I will not try any more
I want this to be the end of that poison – story
Egoistic personality with everyday's light
No need to hide
Smell of air takes care of
Everything
Far away from desert - full of needs that will surely be
fulfilled
Find the time to let yourself go
And see how beautiful these colors are
Find me
Cause it's part of your life
And time travel
Taking it every night
Escaping
Drifting through the thoughts like skies
Excuse me
For being so dumb
Run Away...
Having faith
In things there are good for a child
Falling asleep but seeing things clearly
Day dreamer
Smash your diary
And now see faces
And wondering
What's inside you all
Perhaps it's just a life that I'm not used to live like
that
Time bomb
Within my burning heart
Innocence

You'll never be mine
Innocence
You'll never be mine

You'll never be mine
You'll never be mine

You'll never be mine
You'll never be mine

You'll never be mine

Embrace me with the scars...
Because there in nothing there
And you lose your hope
There is somebody else
Somebody else's thought
It's like a child confused
When there is nowhere to go
A vison turns black
Though there is so much more
This confusion grows
Nothing to say
There is fear although lights are on...
Embrance me with the stars
Beacause there is nothing there
You can not see the top
Dreams are hidden in boredom
Somebody else's fault
"Take me back
My sweet child
… you’re so far away from here
It’s time to recognize
The days of your pain in thoughts
Misery that you once were given
Is now just a lie
Entire to world of sleepless days
Says hello to the upcoming king…
For a day and night
It’s a life that you wanted to have
Sweetness and innocence
Just a smile on your mother’s face
My world will soon be gone
Because endless space is beautiful, but unknown
Feeling of loss is just pill
To see the happiness somewhere else
Running, chasing the colors in days
With some other kind of hope
Smell of your room is full of fear
Even though I thought I loved you
Run away from
Yourself because a
Under these skies
Full of hope
There is a small life
That we don't know
Beneath blue eyes
and broken souls
Like a sharp knife
That cuts a new wound
There was a lie...
In your heart
There has been a mistake
Since you were a child
All that must die
In your head
Even if pain
(Bogan, Carter, Harvey Fuqua, Saunders)
Ooh hoo hoooo

Oooooooh ooh oooh
Oooooooh ooh oooh (ow ow hey)
Yes child, yes child (lord, lord)
Well, hey

[instrumental]
With a golden rule in his hand
There stood a tall black Preacher man
From the high
To the low
Holy persuasion
Holy persuasion
Oh yeah, the savings of the people
The white men took away
Buck said the preacher, hah!
Somebody's gotta pay
Buck and the Preacher and part of pasture nation
Broke the whip, and strong with termination
Ain't it groovy? Ain't it groovy?
All the Black men and the Red men come together
Ain't it groovy? Ain't it groovy?
All the Black men and the Red men got together
Ain't it groovy? Ain't it groovy?
She's faced the hardest times you could imagine
And many times her eyes fought back the tears, Lord, Lord
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulders
Fought the weight of all her fears
And a silent no one hears
Still rings in midnight silence in her ear
Let her cry for she's a lady
Let her dream 'cause she is a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower growin' wild
And if by chance I should hold her
Let me hold her for all time
And if allowed just one possession
I would pick her from the garden to be mine, hey, baby
Mmm...
Ey... hey... hey... hey... yeah
Be careful how you touch her 'cause she will awaken
And sleep's the only freedom, oh, that she knows, Lord, Lord
When you walk into your eyes, you won't believe
The way she's always payin'
For a debt she never owed
And the silent winds still blow
But only she can hear, so she'll go
Let her cry for she's a lady
Let her dream, whoa, she is my child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower growin' wild
She is my flower growin' wild, yeah
Oh... oh... she's my flower, she's growin' wild, y'all, yeah
Sit down, baby
Let me rap to you for a second
You see, I know you have it hard some times
But when you feel like you need me
What, you can call me
You see, because I'll be somewhere around
You see, not only that
You see, I'll be your bridge over troubled waters
You see, the reason why I say this baby is because I love you, girl
I love you so much
Oh, some time I can't even explain
You see, you're like a flower that blooms in any season
And that's why I'd like to say
You're my flower, baby
You're my flower, ooh, baby
A flower
You're my flower
Flower
It's you, baby
It's you
It's you, baby, baby
It's you, baby
It's you, it's you, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I love you, baby
You're my flower
It's you, baby
You, you, you, you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I love you, I love you, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, baby
You, you, baby
You're my flower
And I just love you, I just love you
I just love you
Sweeter than honey, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I just love you, baby
I've got dreams, dreams to remember
I've got dreams, dreams to remember
Honey, I saw you there last night
Another man's arms holding you tight
Nobody knows what I feel inside
All I know, I walked away and cried
I've got dreams, dreams to remember
Listen to me (I've got dreams) rough dreams (dreams to remember)
I know you said he was just a friend
But I saw him kiss you, again and again
These eyes of mine, they don't fool me
Why did he hold you, so tenderly
I've got dreams, dreams to remember
Listen honey (I've got dreams) rough dreams (dreams to remember)
I still want you to stay
I still love you anyway
I don't want you to ever leave
Girl, you just satisfy me, ooh-wee, ooh yeah
I know you said he was just a friend
But I saw you kiss him again and again
These eyes of mine, they don't fool me
Why did he hold you so tenderly
I've got dreams, dreams to remember
Listen to me mama (I've got dreams)] bad dreams, rough dreams (dreams to remember)
Impossible, ooh impossible
It's impossible, tell the sun to leave the sky
It's just impossible
(It's impossible)
It's impossible, ask a baby not to cry
It's just impossible
Oh, can I hold you, closer, closer to me, baby
And not feel you, going through me
Split the second, honey, that I never, never think of you
Oh, how impossible, oh ho, oh ho, ooh
Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore
It's just impossible
(It's impossible)
If I had you could I ever want for more
It's just impossible
Oh, and tomorrow should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it, baby, I'd sell my very soul
I won't regret it, no, no, for to live without your love
Oh, it just ain't no way, oh no, oh no baby
No no no no no no no
Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore?
It's just impossible
(It's impossible)
If I had you could I ever want for more
It's just impossible
Oh, and tomorrow should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it, baby I would sell my very soul
I won't regret it, no, no, for to live without your love
Oh, it just ain't no way
Impossible, ooh impossible
Impossible, ooh impossible
(Buffy Sainte-Marie)
[Intro by Harvey Fuqua & Honey Cone's Carolyn Willis:]
Honey? Honey?
Yeah?
It's time.
I know. But it's been so nice.
Yeah, it has been groovy.
But there's something I have to tell you first
And it's a long story.
[Lead vocals by Susaye Greene:]
You're not a king
You're not an angel
You're a man
I'm not a queen
I'm a woman
Please take my hand
We'll make a space
In our lives that we planned
And here we'll stay
Yeah, here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Yes, we're different, we're worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and play from the start
Just like you were in the game
You could have stayed
Outside my heart
But no, no, no, no, in you came
And here you'll stay
Yes, here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
(ooh ooh ooh ooh, oo-oo-oo-ooh)
(time to go)
Don't ask me why (ask me why)
Don't you dare don't ask me how
(don't ask me how)
Don't ask forever
Just love me, baby
Love me
Love me now
Ahhhh, this love of mine (love of mine)
(had no beginning, ooh ooh)
It has no end
I was an oak
Now I'm a willow (willow)
And you know, baby, I can bend
And though you'll never
Never, never, never, ever see me again
(never, never, never, never)
It's too late, baby
Yeah, it's too late
Too late, now
It's time for you to go, oh oh oh oh
And here, here
Here I'm gonna stay
Until it's tiiiiiiiiiiiime for you to go, oh oh
Go-o-o, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
It's too late, baby, yes
I hate to see you go, boy
Hey-ey-ey-ey
I know you have to go on
Stay, love
Just stay don't go
Ple-e-eeeeeeee-ease
Imagine breathing in
Imagine leaving all your air behind
What matters in the end
A matter of opinion til' you find out
Life can only, mean hardly anything
All I'll ever be is hardly settled in
(Chorus)
They'll show you how to swim
They'll throw you in the deep end
I've been learning since
But it doesn't mean I'l float
I won't float
I had a funny sleep
I didn't have a dream cuz' I don't believe in them
Life can only mean, hardly anything
All I'll ever be is hardly settled in
(Chorus)
They'll show you how to swim
They'll throw you in the deep end
I've been learning since
But it doesn't mean I'l float
I won't float
Float away then come right back to me
(2x)
(Chorus)
They'll show you how to swim
They'll throw you in the deep end
I've been learning since
But it doesn't mean I'l float
I won't float
What if I don't float
(2x)
I think I'll float
I'll float
The night's serenade again
Suddenly you'll feel the rain wash away your pain
Sin's the worst drug you've had
You're whispering come out, come out
Wherever you are!
Intoxicating, looking at the stars
At Lake Bodom...slowly settle, into the darkened night.
Making you want to take another swig.
Making you feel like this is the last thing you'll ever drink!
Fists in the air
Their coming with despite
Their coming to destroy
Spirits of Lake Bodom are furious again
Something pass you by, you wait for you to know.
At the Lake Bodom where you say your final goodbye!
Soon you'll find your sat on the floor half a bottle deep,
Swig your drink again until it goes away!
Running out into the freezing waters
At the Lake Bodom where you once was drowned.
Grab the bottle smash it on the rock!
Feeling safer, no weapon, that's a big mistake!
Lying down on the dock,
One two..
I'm from a little city with expensive taste
Where the cars don't run till the engine breaks
Wasn't spending pennies on messy things
But invested in mess with this recipe
Couldn't quite see what the future held
And as days went by it would tell itself
Let it struggle just a little bit more
Let it struggle just a little bit more
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go
Shouldn't try to fix if it keeps getting better
Just let it go
Forget it forever and ever and ever
Don't ever resent a letter inside a single word written
Little change can pave lanes with the right vision
Couldn't tell what would happen next
But as the weeks went by it would turn to best
Let it struggle just a little bit more
Let it struggle just a little bit more
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go
If what they said was all pretend then it'd be different
If it depended on if anyone was listening and I was listening
And when they said what I wanted was a figment
I had to turn the other cheek but I was listening
Yea I was listening
Listening to all
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
When it's said and done
Let it go
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
I wasn't listening I wasn't listening
Listening at all
Remember what the people said
Remember what the people said
I wasn't listening I wasn't listening
Listening at all
Vacancy was lit, the guests were checking in
The concierge was cold,
The water pipes had mold all over them
The room was fit for two,
The bed was left in woods
The neighbor was knocking, yeah
But no one would let him in
Chorus:
Touch me, yeah
I want you to touch me there
Make me feel like I am breathing
Feel like I am human
Dance into the night
A vodka and a sprite
A glimWse of the silhouettes
A night that they never forget
Chorus:
Touch me, yeah
I want you to touch me there
Make me feel like I am breathing
Feel like I am human
Touch me, yeah
I want you to touch me there
Make me feel like I am breathing
Feel like I am human
She sought death on a queen-sized bed
And he had said darling your looks can kill,
So now you're dead
Chorus:
Touch me, yeah
I want you to touch me there
Make me feel like I am breathing
Feel like I am human
Chorus:
Touch me, yeah
I want you to touch me there
Make me feel like I am breathing
You fooled me from the start
When you let me start to love you
It's like a bunch of broken picture frames
But the photo still remains the same
And I, I thought it'd be easy to run
But my legs are broken.
All alone
All we know
Is haunting me
Making it harder to breathe, harder to breathe
I'm leaving tonight
I'm leaving tonight
I'm leaving tonight, yeah
I'm leaving tonight
I'm leaving tonight
I'll be gone in the morning
I saw it from a far
But my eyes have always fooled me
It looked to me like all the sidewalks started walking
I swear to god the voices wouldn't shut up
And I, I figured it all to be love
But this isn't lovely
All alone
All we know
Is haunting me
Making it harder to breathe, harder to breathe
I'm leaving tonight
I'm leaving tonight
I'm leaving tonight, yeah
I'm leaving tonight
I'm leaving tonight
I think I found help,
I think I found something,
I think I found something in my TV screen.
I think I found out, that I have nothing
That I have nothing in this place for me
I watched it all in my head,
Perfect sense,
They'll take me from my bed,
Leave everything that is worth a single cent and just take me instead.
That TV show that I saw as I fell asleep,
Had me on both knees,
Praying to whatever is in heaven,
Please send me felon,
And don't let the police know...
Anything,
Anything,
Don't tell them anything,
Anything,
Please.
Anything,
Anything,
Don't tell them anything,
Anything,
Please.
I think I can tell,
I think I can tell them,
Tell them they were made for me.
I'm thinking they'll know,
Know it already,
I'm thinking they'll know just about everything.
I bet they planned it all out,
Like the shows,
Went everywhere I go.
Walked in the store right behind me,
Stood in line right beside me and followed me to my home.
I'm sure they figured it out,
Early on,
That I would never run,
That they could shoot but that's no fun,
'Cause then they're killing their stolen son
Anything,
Anything,
Don't tell them anything,
Anything,
Please.
Anything,
Anything,
Don't tell them anything,
Anything,
Please.
Anything,
Anything,
Don't tell them anything,
Anything,
Please.
Anything,
Anything,
Don't tell them anything,
Anything,
Please.
We're gonna die, die, die...
She planned ahead for a year.
He said let's play it by ear.
She didn't want him to run.
He didn't want her to fear.
Nobody said it'd be easy.
They knew it was rough but tough luck.
I fell in love today.
There aren't many words that you can say,
That could ever get my mind to change.
She's in love for me.
She's in love with me.
You're a doll, you are flawless.
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us.
I just can't wait for love.
The only flaw, you are flawless.
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us.
I just can't wait for love.
So, she put his heart in a bag.
He wouldn't ask for it back.
He didn't want her to cry.
She didn't want to be sad.
She said you'd better not leave me.
This shit'll be fucked for days, and weeks, and months, but...
I fell in love today.
There aren't many words that you can say,
That could ever get my mind to change.
She's in love for me.
She's in love with me.
You're a doll, you are flawless.
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us.
I just can't wait for love.
The only flaw, you are flawless.
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us.
I just can't wait for love.
Add it all up, I can find it.
The problem with love, is i'm blinded by...
It rattles my lungs, but my mind is
Tangled between your little thoughts.
Your thoughts.
Your thoughts.
Your thought.
You're a doll, you are flawless.
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us.
I just can't wait for love.
The only flaw, you are flawless.
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us.
I just can't wait for love.
Wait for love.
I won't wait for love.
Wait for love.
I won't wait for love.
Baby came home today
told me to stay away
she told me her man was afraid
told me i better behave
baby just came back around
told me she's leaving this town
says she needs time to explore
she said i can't love her no more
thinkin' about her
she gone all the time
think if you found her
that even you would know
so baby packed up all she had
promised to never come back
she left me alone and with out
skin i can study about
tiles get colder to touch
woodsmen turns metal will rust?
but baby she had all my trust
and i guess that was never enough
thinking about her
she's gone all the time
i think if you found her
that even you would know
that she's mine
woooooahhhhhh
you know she's miiiiiiiine
baby came home today
told me to stay away
she told me her man was afraid
told me i better behave
thinkin' about her
she's gone all the time
i think if you found her
that even you would knoowww
she's mine, she's mine
All I am is a man
I want the world in my hands
I hate the beach
But I stand in California
with my toes in the sand
Use the sleeves on my sweater
Let's have an adventure
Head in the clouds but my gravity's centred
Touch my neck and I'll touch yours
You in those little hot waisted shorts
She knows what I think about
And what I think about
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing I really wanna tell you about, no
'Cause it's too cold (whoa)
For you here
And now
So let me hold (whoa)
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
And if I may just take your breath away
I don't mind if there's not much to say
Sometimes the silence guides your mind
So move to a place so far away
The goosebumps start to race
The minute that my left hand meets your waist
And then I watched your face
Put my finger on your tongue
'Cause you love to taste yeah
These hearts adore
Everyone the other beat hard is for
Inside this place is warm
Outside it starts to pour
Coming down
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing I really wanna tell you about
No no
'Cause it's too cold (whoa)
For you here
And now
So let me hold (whoa)
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
'Cause it's too cold (whoa)
For you here
And now
So let me hold (whoa)
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
Whoa, whoa...
Whoa, whoa...
Whoa, whoa... (x2)
'Cause it's too cold (whoa)
For you here
And now
So let me hold (whoa)
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
It's too cold (whoa)
For you here
And now
So let me hold (whoa)
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
It's too cold, it's too cold
No food to eat, all the money's been wasted from last week
I can't even leave, so I sleep in the basement, making up rap beats
Hot cup of tea, it's four o'clock in the middle of the night, and I can't sleep
It's all on the peak, so bad I can taste it while it eats me
How can I sleep if I don't have dreams?
I just have nightmares
How can it be?
I still believe something is out there
Some part of me feels a little bit naked and empty
I'm stuck underneath a few dirty old blankets to comfort me
How can I sleep if I don't have dreams?
I just have nightmares
How can it be?
I still believe something is out there
How can I sleep if I don't have dreams?
I just have nightmares
How can it be?
I still believe something is out there
And there's a light, and I can see why I'm still alive
Mommy won't lie, cause if she did, I would've died
All the time I sit and try, you think I'd be down
Every night, I'm sick and why, oh, I'm staying up this time
How can I sleep if I don't have dreams?
I just have nightmares
How can it be?
I still believe something is out there
How can I sleep if I don't have dreams?
I just have nightmares
How can it be?
If things were different, we were young
Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember
Back in 1991, when the story first begun, I remember (I remember)
All of these shells, holding the things I've done
I knew myself before I knew anyone
And cause we all chew gum, we all have fun with water guns
La da da da da da, da da dum dum dum
And we all grew up, shit got tough
Shit just wasn't simple enough
And whenever the sun came out, we played
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
We would run on the block all night and day
(We didn't want to get older)
What a mistake, saying the way I felt
I say my name influences myself
And cause I started young, I learned it done, I didn't run
La da da da da da
I was scared as fuck and out of touch, and I was still testing my luck, oh
And whenever the sun came out, we played
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
We would run on the block all night and day
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
And whenever the sun came out, we played
(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
I left myself in the alleyway
If things were different, we were young
Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember
(I left myself in the alleyway)
All I wanted would become everything I ever loved, I remember
How could you question God's existence when you question God himself?
Why would you ask for God's assistance if you wouldn't take the help?
If you're gone, then I need you
If you're gone, then how is any of this real?
When I'm on, I believe you
When I'm not, my knees don't even seem to feel
How could you tell me that I'm great
When they chew me up, spit me out, pissed on me?
Why would you tell me that it's fate
When they laughed at me, every day, in my face?
They say the end is coming sooner
But the end's already here
I said today is but a rumor
That we'll laugh at in a year
Or two, or three, or four, or five, whatever
If you're gone, then I need you
If you're gone, then how is any of this real?
When I'm on, I believe you
When I'm not, my knees don't even seem to feel
How could you tell me that I'm great
When they chew me up, spit me out, pissed on me?
Why would you tell me that it's fate
When they laughed at me, every day, in my face? [2x]
How?
How could you tell me that I'm great?
How?
How could you tell me that it's fate?
I try to be someone,
I’d like to be someone else for you
If I had done something a little bit differently
You would’ve moved in a better direction than this baby
If you were human, if you were who I assumed you were
You wouldn’t have done this
I thought I did something,
But you would do anything to bring me down
And she brought me down
You say that you love me
But you act like you don’t
You used to adore me, laughed at all of my jokes
Don’t take this the wrong way
You put me harm’s way
When we had a first kiss, it was your favorite thing
And you weren’t lying when you said it would sting
Don’t take this the wrong way
You put me harm’s way
Imagine our children, I thought they’d be
Mommy’s a saint, but daddy lives in a dream
Don’t take this the wrong way
I told you I’m sorry, can’t thank you enough
I thought that I loved you, but we weren’t in love
We weren’t in love
You were my dream
The way we would f*ck
You like to think, but when pushed through the back
Ignoring them Wroblems, used to hold what we had
Don’t take this the wrong way
I told you I would tell you everything you want to know
You want me to tell you now
You ? you to hear about it
To think that I would count you out
I let you find it on your own
Then I found myself alone
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Ooh ooh, what can I do
If you're not here to tell you?
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
I go through all the trouble of keeping it within my walls
I try to be as subtle as I can
Assume that nothing needs me, all I've done defeats me
It looks like you were right again
And again
I let you find it on your own
Then I found myself alone
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Ooh ooh, what can I do
If you're not here to tell you?
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
The more I want in, the more I want in
The less I know, the less I know
But I forgot it, I forgot it
I'll be alone, I'll be alone, I'll be alone
With everybody watching me
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Ooh ooh, what can I do
If you're not here to tell you?
Uh oh, where can I go?
Everybody's watching me
Watching me, watching me, me, me
They're watching me, me, me
Watching me, me, me, me
