You know I thought I had it all y'all It seems that I'm wasting time Even though I've tried Guess I've done it all wrong I wish that I Wish that I could help us But I gotta take off, off, off For once in my life I gotta take off, off, off

I couldn't believe what I was seeing Faces all screwed up like what I'd done I didn't mean to hurt you so much I knew it would hurt you but not like this We all make a mess from time to time, dear But it'll take me a lifetime to get this cleared Somebody

Someone special Not scared to be strong Now you could run and just say they're right No I'll never be no one in my whole life Or you could turn and see the way they're wrong And get to keep on dancing all life long Just turn it on In you I see My father

Higher, higher I can be around, shit, whenever you need Fuck with a nigga, we can touch the stars Trusting a nigga, you can count on me Yeah, yeah, yeah Now I could be the change the I wanna see I can heal the world for real if a nigga speaking honestly

Into me, you'll see You got me wide open, now I'm ready You broke me wide open, open sesame Is this intimacy? I built a wall so high, no one could reach A life of locks, I swallowed up the keys I was petrified, only knew how to hide They can't hurt me if

My life is mine, Not yours, so leave me be I'll set you free You can't see That I am free Come with me And I'll show you What your life could be Years of wait are over now

Well how could we have known? I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell, no, no, no If you keep adding stones It's enough to make me cry Soon the water will be lost in the well That don't seem like it would make it feel better Instead they'll say There's

Yes, it's got to me If there's been a fool around It's got to be me You soothe me with your smile You're letting me know You're the best thing in my life If I could make you see Why are you right when I'm so wrong

You'd see you shine, you shine But if only you could see yourself in my eyes I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time I could have told you ‘bout the long nights How no one loves the birds that don't rise So you can tell the heroes go

The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound If you could only see the beast you've made of me I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in I hunt for you with bloodied feet across
