Esperanza Spalding - Formwela 10 lyrics

I saw what I wanted and took it for me
Without the strings attached
Like they're supposed to be
I didn't know how deep some feelings can go
And you can really do some damage down there
In the soul of another

I wanted and got it opened up to me
So fast I didn't learn the
Dance of how to treat
These beings, that walk and talk and breathe
And you can really do some damage down here
In the role of a lover
Nobody watching over to make
Sure we don't wastе
Love cupped right to our face can you see it
Whеn you taste it, can you be it

I met an angel on Earth, but didn't know it
Now see the root of my curse
That let me throw it away
With all this love in my heart
I couldn't show it
Touching the sting of my shame
No need to grow it now

Maybe I'll find one again someday
When I learn to love for real, angel
May you find one too

It's not to absolve responsibility
And there's no going back
The scars are plain to see
I know well I put you through a living hell
This is a way to make the damages clear
So I don't do another that way

Nobody watching over to make
Sure we don't waste
Love cupped right to our face can you see it
When you taste it, can you be it

I met an angel on Earth, but didn't know it
Now see the root of my curse
That let me throw it away
With all this love in my heart
I couldn't show it
Touching the sting of my shame
No need to grow it now

Maybe I'll find one again someday
When I learn to love for real, angel
May you find yours too
