about

One of the most lyrically powerful track that deals with a great loss in one's life that leaves them physically and emotionally handicapped. It takes you through the process of grief and shows you the lasting effect losing someone or people really close to you has on one's psyche.

lyrics

Look at me
What do you see
Do you see what was before
I had a dream (Mama, I have a dream)
Do you even care to learn
Who I am now
Or are you gonna shut down
And shut me out, yeah

Sometimes
I can't deny the tears that wanna fall
Inside
There's a fire burning the village walls
And no amount of sex, no amount of men can fill this hole
Why do I feel like this is what you wanted from me
All along

I can't breathe (I think you'll always have your hand around my neck)
Let me be (And forget about the past and your regrets)
Shattered glass all around me
Try'na tip-toe through the light to ground me
Now I'm bleeding
Worst than when you found me
I can't seem to move on

Sometimes
I can't deny the tears that wanna fall
Inside
There's a fire burning the village walls
And no amount of sex, no amount of men can fill this hole
Why do I feel like this is what you wanted from me
All along

I feel like every time we talk nothing progresses (Why?)
You always act like you just caught me yesterday wearing dresses (Oh, my God)
It's not fair, the world already treats me as a lesson (Facts)
But I'm tired, I don't wanna always teach the world how to address us

It's already so cold out here (Ooh)
You left me without a care (Ooh-Ooh)
I must embarrass you, Huh? (Huh-Huh?)
Guess our love just wasn't strong enough ('Nough-'Nough)
I wish you could just hold my hand (I wish, I wish)
And let me show you how easy it can be (It can be so easy)
Won't you just try to open your heart (Just open your heart)
I don't wanna change your mind (No, no)
I just want a family, yeah
But Sometimes

Sometimes
I can't deny the tears that wanna fall
Inside
There's a fire burning the village walls
And no amount of sex, no amount of men can fill this hole
Why do I feel like this is what you wanted from me
All along
Sometimes
I can't deny the tears that wanna fall
Inside
There's a fire burning the village walls
And no amount of sex, no amount of men can fill this hole
Why do I feel like this is what you wanted from me
All along
