05. my tears ricochet [Hiphopde.com]

[00:22.87] We gather here, we line up, weepin' in a sunlit room

[00:28.37] And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too

[00:36.85] Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe

[00:40.59] All the hell you gave me?

[00:44.39] 'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you

[00:48.13] 'Til my dying day

[00:54.13] I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

[01:01.37] And you're the hero flying around, saving face

[01:09.12] And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?

[01:14.62] Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

[01:18.37] Look at how my tears ricochet

[01:29.12] We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean

[01:36.62] Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring

[01:42.87] You know I didn't want to have to haunt you

[01:47.35] But what a ghostly scene

[01:54.87] You wear the same jewels that I gave you

[01:56.13] As you bury me

[02:01.37] I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

[02:07.88] 'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave

[02:15.38] And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?

[02:21.13] Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

[02:24.62] Look at how my tears ricochet

[02:28.37] And I can go anywhere I want

[02:32.10] Anywhere I want, just not home

[02:35.63] And you can aim for my heart, go for blood

[02:39.36] But you would still miss me in your bones

[02:43.14] And I still talk to you (When I'm screaming at the sky)

[02:50.38] And when you can't sleep at night (You hear my stolen lullabies)

[03:05.39] I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

[03:12.61] And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves

[03:20.12] You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same

[03:25.87] Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

[03:29.12] You turned into your worst fears

[03:32.62] And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain

[03:36.87] Crossing out the good years

[03:40.13] And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed

[03:44.12] Look at how my tears ricochet
