Mali Music, Aniyah Smith - This Way (Say I Love You) lyrics
[Mali Music, Aniyah Smith - This Way Say I Love You lyrics]
That's all I'm tryna say
If tonight is the last
Night you plan on breathing
If the weight of the world is so
Heavy on your shoulders
The only place you see
To lay down this burden is a grave
If you are so tired of existence
You want to put yourself into an eternal rest
I'm sorry I couldn't make this
Life more livable for you
I too have known nights on bathroom floors
With blood and tears spilling so quickly
I'm not sure which one I'll run out of first
Know praying to gods I stopped believing
In a long time ago
That if they were real they would help me
Know looking death in the face and
Inviting him home for dinner
Like a long lost friend I couldn't
Wait to get reacquainted with
But, I've also known salvation
Know that if the words of your
Demons can end your life
Then words of hope can save it no matter how
Deep of a hole you've dug yourself into
Even when holding on to life
Feels like grasping for
Air your lungs can't even keep inside of them
Reach your hand out for a lifeline
Because I am still standing after depression
Has brought me to my knees
After I've asked God more times
To end my life
Than I have thanked Him for giving me it
And ain't that a blessing? To survive
Even when your own body has tried to kill you
And it gets hard sometimes because
I can't even remember how to be a person
But being a poet isn't
Always about pretty prose
Some days, it is just about being alive
Most days, it is just about being alive here
In this place where I have
Seen so many resurrected, i call it holy
This is survival, this is hope, this is life
So tonight, don't you write me a suicide note
Write me a survivor's story
God, please, stay ready for me
It's the word to the wise
If they ready for me
Got the world in my eyes
They look ready to me
All the girls and the guys
They look ready to see
How can I say I love You?
How can I say I love You today?
How can I say I love You?
How can I say I love You this way?
Can I say I love You?
How can I say I love You today?
How can I say I love You?
How can I say I love You?
Can I say I love You?
Can I say I love You today?
How can I say I love You?
Can I say I love You this way?
Say I love You say I love You today
Yah, can I say I love You?
Can I say I love You this way? Spirit come
Can you feel The Spirit come?
Can you feel The Spirit come?
Can you feel The Spirit come? Of joy
Of joy yah, please, stay ready for me
It's a word to the wise if they ready for me
Got the world in my eyes
They look ready to me
All the girls and the guys
They look ready to see
