Words - Seinabo Sey

That we didn’t speak

But it’s mostly the words that you didn’t keep

The mistake’s being me, I didn’t see

All of the smoke and the mirrors being reflected off of me

Somebody should have told me

Darkness is key

Somebody should have showed me

How was I supposed to see

That even as you think you’re breaking

And even as your voice is shaking

I am not the only

That is what somebody should have told me

Dancing in a haze

We pretend to be just fine

While inside in disbelief

I’m lost with no cause

Just like my, my mother before me

I needed some peace, someone to believe

See the same as me

Somebody should have told me

Darkness is key

Somebody should have showed me

How was I supposed to see

That even as you think you’re breaking

And even as your voice is shaking

I am not the only

That is what somebody should have told me

My will is pure, I adore

Grief and give all of me

All I have, all I am and all I wish to be

To be part, to be part of your harmony

Still in my mind, I’m in the corner singing off key

Hey

Somebody should have told me

Darkness is key

Somebody should have showed me

How was I supposed to see

That even as you think you’re breaking

And even as your voice is shaking

I am not the only

That is what somebody should have told me
