I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin’ Wondering why we bother with upendo if
|
|
|
Do wewe remember, we were sitting there kwa the water? wewe put your arm around me f
|
|
|
wewe learn my secrets and wewe figure out why I’m guarded, wewe say we’ll never
|
|
|
When it was hard to take, Yes, yes, this is what I thought about.
|
|
|
Do wewe remember all the city lights on the water? wewe saw me start to believe for
|
|
|
And I remember that fight Two-thirty AM As everything was slipping right out of o
|
|
|
I ran out crying and wewe followed me out into the mitaani, mtaa
|
|
|
Braced myself for the "Goodbye." ‘Cause that’s all I’ve ever known
|
|
|
Then wewe took me kwa surprise wewe said, "I’ll never leave wewe alone."
|
|
|
And wewe stood there in front of me Just close enough to touch
|
|
|
Close enough to hope wewe couldn't see What I was thinking of
|
|
|
Meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk Take away the pain
|
|
|
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around 'Cause I see sparks fly
|
|
|
My mind forgets to remind me You're a bad idea
|
|
|
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world But with wewe I know it's no good
|
|
|
I'll run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild.
|
|
|
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me, it's just wrong enough to make it feel righ
|
|
|
I'm captivated kwa you, baby, like a firework show.
|
|
|
wewe gave me roses and I left them there to die.
|
|
|
So this is me swallowing my pride, Standing in front of wewe saying, "I'm sorry fo
|
|
|
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you. Wishing I'd realized what I h
|
|
|
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right. I go back to December
|
|
|
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times, I watched wewe laughing from th
|
|
|
Realized I loved wewe in the fall.
|
|
|
wewe gave me all your upendo and all I gave wewe was "Goodbye".
|
|
|
And how wewe held me in your arms that September night The first time wewe ever saw
|
|
|
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't. So if the chain is on your door I
|
|
|
I am not the kind of girl Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasio
|
|
|
This is surely not what wewe thought it would be
|
|
|
Don’t say "Yes", run away now I’ll meet wewe when you’re out of the church a
|
|
|
Don’t wait au say a single vow wewe need to hear me out And they said, "Speak no
|
|
|
And the organ starts to play A song that sounds like a death march
|
|
|
And I am hiding in the curtains It seems that I was uninvited kwa your lovely brid
|
|
|
But I know wewe wish it was me, wewe wish it was me, Don’t you?
|
|
|
Long were the nights when My days once revolved around wewe
|
|
|
And my mother accused me of losing my mind But I swore I was fine
|
|
|
wewe paint me a blue sky And go back and turn it to rain
|
|
|
And I lived in your chess game But wewe changed the rules everyday
|
|
|
Wonderin’ which version of wewe I might get on the phone, tonight Well I stopped
|
|
|
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
|
|
|
The girl in the dress Cried the whole way home, I should've known.
|
|
|
Well maybe it’s me And my blind optimism to blame
|
|
|
au maybe it’s wewe and your sick need To give upendo then take it away
|
|
|
And I'll look back in regret how I ignored when they said, "Run as fast as wewe ca
|
|
|
When I loved wewe so, I should've known.
|
|
|
wewe are an expert at "Sorry" And keeping lines blurry
|
|
|
But I took your matches Before moto could catch me So don’t look now
|
|
|
I’m shining like fireworks Over your sad empty town
|
|
|
The girl in the dress Wrote wewe a song, wewe should’ve known.
|
|
|
You, with your words like knives And swords and weapons that wewe use against me
|
|
|
wewe have knocked me off my feet again Got me feeling like a nothing
|
|
|
Well wewe can take me down with just one single blow But wewe don't know, what wewe
|
|
|
Someday I'll be big enough so wewe can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is me
|
|
|
wewe have pointed out my flaws again As if I don't already see them
|
|
|
Trying to block wewe out 'cause I'll never impress wewe I just wanna feel okay agai
|
|
|
But nobody's listening Washed up and ranting about the same old uchungu, chungu things
|
|
|
All wewe are is mean And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life And mean
|
|
|
I used to think one siku we'd tell the story of us, How we met and the sparks flew
|
|
|
So many things that I wish wewe knew, So many walls up I can't break through.
|
|
|
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking
|
|
|
And I'm dying to know is it killing wewe like it's killing me, yeah?
|
|
|
But wewe held your pride like wewe should've held me.
|
|
|
I'd tell wewe I miss wewe but I don't know how, I've never heard silence quite this
|
|
|
But I would lay my armor down If wewe alisema you'd rather upendo than fight.
|
|
|
Your little hand's wrapped around my finger And it's so quiet in the world tonigh
|
|
|
I'd give all I have, honey If wewe could stay like that
|
|
|
Oh darling, don't wewe ever grow up Don't wewe ever grow up, just stay this little
|
|
|
I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your moyo And no one will de
|
|
|
Wish I'd never grown up I wish I'd never grown up
|
|
|
Walls of insincerity, Shifting eyes and vacancy Vanished when I saw your face
|
|
|
The playful conversation starts Counter all your quick remarks Like passing notes
|
|
|
And it was enchanting to meet wewe All I can say is I was Enchanted to meet wewe
|
|
|
This night is sparkling, don't wewe let it go I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the w
|
|
|
The lingering swali kept me up 2 AM, who do wewe love?
|
|
|
And now I'm pacing back and forth Wishing wewe were at my door
|
|
|
This night is flawless, don't wewe let it go I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all
|
|
|
My thoughts will echo your name Until I see wewe again
|
|
|
Please don't be in upendo with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on y
|
|
|
It's getting dark and it's all too quiet And I can't trust anything now
|
|
|
Oh, I'm holding my breath Won't lose wewe again Something's made your eyes go cold
|
|
|
Can't breathe whenever you're gone Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
|
|
|
Stood there and watched wewe walk away From everything we had But I still mean eve
|
|
|
And he just might make me smile But the whole time I'm wishing he was wewe instead
|
|
|
I still remember the look on your face Lit through the darkness at 1:58
|
|
|
wewe told me wewe loved me So why did wewe go away?
|
|
|
The beat of your moyo It jumps through your shati I can still feel your arms
|
|
|
All that I know is I don't know how to be something wewe miss
|
|
|
I never thought we'd have a last kiss Never imagined we'd end like this
|
|
|
Your name, forever the name on my lips
|
|
|
And I roll my eyes and then wewe pull me in I'm not much for dancing But for wewe I
|
|
|
Because I upendo your handshake, meeting my father I upendo how wewe walk with your ha
|
|
|
How wewe kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something There's not a siku
|
|
|
So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch wewe sleep
|
|
|
And I feel wewe forget me like I used to feel wewe breathe
|
|
|
wewe can plan for a change in weather and time But I never planned on wewe changing
