Brother Ali - Babygirl lyrics

[Verse 1:] There's big pieces of a life she can't remember Her mind shuts down, it's trying to protect her Might be for the best to forget but it seems like They always reappear when she least expects Late nights we lay awake, drowning in the lake that pours out of her face Here's late but she's still not safe Memories live out in the time, in the place The way he smelled, the way he smiled The evil she even recognized as a child Hand on her throat, sting of a fist Instead of her first kiss she got this Shameful feeling, painful secret Lonely knowin' that nobody would believe it Every wound that escapes her time capsule Hurts like the day it was born and it's brand new [Chorus:] I wasn't there babygirl but I'm here I don't know what to say I just hear If there's one wish I could make true I would shoulder that pain and take it off you Don't run babygirl, don't run You gotta' face what you fighting, head on Only one thing I could say in truth You gotta' deal with the demons before they deal with you [Verse 2:] How can she find peace in her mind when Love means returning to the scene of a crime? I can feel it inside we've reopened wounds every time we intertwine Such an evil design when you can't even enjoy the sweetness you find Trying to see through the tears in your eyes and rebuild your shrine one piece at a time E & K made it all fade away Colors don't burn no more it's all gray Can't find heaven from within that shell but it's enough of a blessing if just not seen hell Constant inner dialog says just end this roller coaster ride you're on Only one solution seems final: slide into a hole where your pain can't find you [Chorus] [Verse 3:] She said if I was meant to die he would've k**ed me There must be a reason that I still breathe I don't have the tools to rebuild me But I still believe that one day I could feel free And my body can be mine again My eyes can learn how to shine again My inner child won't have to hide and then When I'm strong then love could be invited in Sweet God that's all I ask, of thee I'm willing to give what you demand of me I'm learning to embrace the reality That life doesn't always turn out how it's planned to be I didn't deserve what was handed me Only one who can grant happiness is me What it takes for her to face the day I can only hope to be half that brave [Chorus]
