Brown Skin - India.Arie

I swear I love to hard I show her love and now I'm all alone Can't talk to her so I just write these songs I hate it cause she knows she's valuable And I'm just frowned upon I just wanted someone I could sit and relate to I just wanted someone that could walk a mile in my shoes But you're gone Yeah you're gone Yeah you're gone Yeah you're gone I just wanted someone else that could love me for me I just wanted you right here So you could be on my team But you're gone Yeah you're gone Yeah you're gone Yeah you're gone Brown skin why you had to kill me with your brown skin Eyes glisten every time you look at me it's magic Don't leave me girl I need you here cause you complete me girl Attachment why I have to be so attached man Wish I never played so much cause I can't get you back now I want to leave this world Cause I'm defeated girl I wish I had the strength to tell you that I need you Instead I'm crying on my beats and thinking me too You're such an angel I'm so soft I need a tissue To wipe the issue From all the pain that you had distributed to me But only beauty I see Anytime your pictures popping up on my feed I'm your sunflower you ate my seeds You know what I mean And now you act like you don't wanna talk to me I guess it's just the Fact that I Don't look better But I could get you wetter than him Or maybe it's the Fact that I Write love letters But I can't write the ones that you feel I wish we could go back to lovely things Like abc's I probably should've let my conscious sing How dumb of me I act all happy but I'm hurting you won't see that side of me I'm emotionally uncertain Cause you brown skin troubles me Brown skin why you had to kill me with your brown skin Eyes glisten every time you look at me it's magic Don't leave me girl I need you here cause you complete me girl Attachment why I have to be so attached man Wish I never played so much cause I can't get you back now I want to leave this world Cause I'm defeated girl Brown skin why you had to kill me with your brown skin Eyes glisten every time you look at me it's magic Don't leave me girl I need you here cause you complete me girl Attachment why I have to be so attached man Wish I never played so much cause I can't get you back now I want to leave this world Cause I'm defeated girl Brown skin why you had to kill me with your brown skin Brown skin why you had to kill me with your brown skin Brown skin why you had to kill me with your brown skin Brown skin why you had to kill me with your brown skin
