Masego, Reyna Bitty - A message to women lyrics

A message to women
You deserve better than to be called pretty
You deserve better than to get upset
And go online to act petty
You deserve better than to be on hold
You deserve better than to hold onto
Someone who's already let go
You deserve better than to
Be held in convenience

You deserve better than to
Keep your relationship
Lowkey because someone might see it
And someone might ask questions and someone
Might wonder why someone like
You would rather hang around a boy
Who won't commit when someone like
Them is ready to love you
Is ready to learn you
Ready to show you who you are

Paint you a picture of you through his eyes
And convince you that you are indeed art
Show you the way he's mesmerized the
Way your broken heart still beats
The way it flutters when whole
Eyes and yours meet
The way it silences to express it's beat
Show you how much he realizes you
Need healing from this hurting i know you
I know something about what
You've been through
I know some days feel like
Heavy weights and heartbreaks
With protection that you failed
To break through i know what it's like to
Put heartbreak on hold for
The "love of your life" who
Forget relationships take two
I know he forgot to say, "I love you too"
I know he forgot to stay faithful

I know you forgot about the
Time you promised yourself
You'd do better but every time you try to
Leave something keeps pulling you
Back telling you this
Is the best you'll ever have in life
So you stay the night

Every night he misses you
After remembering your head
And how good it works and how
Good it feels to know no matter how
Bad it gets you'll always come back
I know you and he does too

We know the way your stomach drops at
The thought of him loving someone better
So he knows you won't search for better
And I know you deserve better

I know you deserve better than
To have your spirit bruised
I know you deserve someone who empowers you
I know just how beautiful you
Can be if only you
Can see your own self value and I know you

You're a collection of paradoxes
You are a compilation of food for thought
You're a woman before all things
You're more a lover than
A fighter after all, it seems
You're special, listen to me
You are special and I know you deserve way
Better than to settle
