Can't you see that it's just rainin' We could pretend it all the time There ain't no need to go outside You hardly even notice When I try to show you this Song is meant to keep you Wakin' up too early Maybe we could sleep in

I wish, I wish, I wish I wish that I could hold you now I wish that I could touch you now I wish that I could talk to you Be with you somehow I know you're in a better place Even though I can't see your face I know you're smiling down on me

Father forgive me, 'cause I ain't perfect No, no no no Why is everything wrong? Oh I can't get it right, I always try to get it right I bumped Ether, bumped Takeover Seein' Jay and Nas on stage was hip-hop's makeover And that very day you knew niggas was

My arms are open (oh, oh) My arms are open I can't unfeel your pain I can't undo what's done I can't send back the rain My love, my arms are open, arms are open, mmm (I will be by your side) my arms are open (You see me loud and clear) But if I could I

All I see is red, now Red from my heart, red like my blood Red from my lips when you told me you were done Just can't dream nothing else It's all around me I'm drowning, no one can help We were living in black and white Under the grayest sky

So pride yourself on what you are, And hold them all to words they can't take back, I've seen a place (it comes) to me in dreams Where fires die but light still shines for us to see So come test me, so come break me, So come on intoxicate me With hands

You remind me of a girl that I once knew See her face whenever I, I look at you You won't believe all of the things she put me through This is why I just can't get with you Yo, I ain't seen you in a minute But I got something to tell you See, the thing

To love her is to learn her Some things you just can't learn And see her at her worst Dance with her when she's drinking Hold her when she hurts She'll be happy, you'll be sorry Well, that's just how it works You'll meet her momma You'll love her daddy

Put you're lighters up if you want to Pull you're motherfucking dodger caps over you're motherfucking eyes Till you can't see shit I want you to go blind nigga So you can feel how I felt when I was in that motherfucking coma Raised in the city of angels

Travellin' in the dark Can't see a thing What you gonna do when you can't seem to understand? How you gonna feel when your woman's with another man? What makes you think that you're gonna ever understand? What's goin' on in the mind of another man?
