Piece by Peace

Hope to God you listen, open up your ears
And if you do, I pray you buy it
Loosen up your eyes and hear me out
I never shed a tear, but I am cryin'
Detrimental to my mental health
Because you know I’m really trying to survive and
I can hear you laughing in the back
Oh, man, I need it really to be silent
Trust me, trust me for once, uh
Love me, yeah, love me for us
When you come around here (Come around here)
I need it to be, oh
When you come around here
Need you to hear me
Ooh, when you come around
Purple rain to ease the pain
Sweeten up my lemonade
I don’t trust a word you say
Your welcome is overstayed
Run from shade, just hide my face
That ain’t what I’m here for
What I disappear for
From me to me
It’s taking from me
Piece by piece
That ain’t what I’m here for

Disappear for
Shame on you for letting loose the things I trusted with you when we in the
private (Ooh)
Not to worry, lessons I invest in only learned to make me stick to silence (Ooh)
Never bitter, only guaranteed to make me wanna go that extra mile and
You’ll never be the one to steal my light
Trust, even at my worst, you’ll see me smiling
I’ve been holding my breath
Playing pretend since two thousand and ten
Since then, I’ve been on my defense
Cursed God for taking away my best friend
(Rest in peace, Nana)
Thank Heaven we’ve made amends
I guess some things take time to truly make sense until then
I don’t care at all
If I fall, I won’t lose my head
Don’t care what they talk
It’s all good, I’m still standing here
Sometimes, I get scared that I’ll fail and get stranded here
Lose myself to fear, get the worst and be abandoned here
Tell myself that it just ain’t true
Made it this far, it must be you
Think of everything you’ve been through
Put your mind to all the things you wanted
Just believe there’s not a thing you can’t do
Keep my head up, walking in the room
Shake it off and do my model walk
Shut it down again like ain’t none of this new
Trust me, trust me for once, uh
Love me, yeah, love me for us
When you come around here (When you come around)
I need it to be, oh (I need it be, yeah, yeah, yeah)
When you come around here (Yeah, yeah)
Need you to hear me
Ooh, when you come around
Purple rain to ease the pain
Sweeten up my lemonade (Yeah)
I don’t trust a word you say (I don’t trust a word you say)
Your welcome is overstayed
Run from shade, just hide my face (Yeah)
That ain’t what I’m here for
What I disappear for
From me to me
It’s taking from me
Piece by piece, uh
