Through the storm, let love’s light reign.
Standing in my way, standing in my way,
Looking in the mirror, this is what I say.
Hard to make a change, shit be feeling strange,
Actions automatic, habits hard to break.
The other side calling, hear it pulling me,
Too early in the morning, still lost in sleep.
Saying I’ma answer, but I never do,
Heart beating faster, thinking about you.
Visions of the future, feeling like a dream,
But when I finally get there, nothing’s what it seems.
Trying to be of service, how does it turn doormat?
I deserve good loving, show me where it’s at.
Been putting love first, still last in line,
Loving me the worst, making sure you’re fine.
All this self-sacrifice got me feeling spent,
Need love in my life, truly heaven sent.
Different faces, same intent,
Hard to tell the real from the counterfeit.
One mistake, one time, it’s all you think about,
Life’s trauma, trust issues, no one’s left out.
Love’s a lesson, a lifelong class,
Everybody is learning new ways to make it last.
Growth pains, stretch marks, most growth brings pain,
When the heart aches, I need a RiRi for the rain.
Umbrellas break down, been warned, maintain,
Through the storm, let love’s light reign.
Under covers feeling warm, but still, the cold remains,
When you miss the one you want, all others are just a game.
So hard to stay patient when the feeling’s so strong,
Second-guessing, debating, don’t wanna get it wrong.
Felt the burn, got the scars from errors in the past,
Still, I yearn for the love that lasts.
