What did you think I wouldn't be able to climb out of the hole
Well I did, and I'm Up!
Back in the day when I didn't know much
When my soul was vulnerable
Back in the day I was stuck up on you
And you wouldn't let me go
Didn't know what the world had planned for me
Didn't dream too far 'cause you
Shrinked my wanders wanted me to yourself
All I knew was a world with you
And I was slowly losing myself
I wasn't thinking too well
My heart knew nothing else but you
Yeah I was slowly losing myself
Yeah I was saying farewell
To parts of me all this for you
Back in the day I was draining myself
And I was a slave for you
I neglected all my family and friends
You and yours made me feel blue
Time went by and you took pieces of me
I hurt so much, none left to pour
Soon realised that you were no good for me
I deserved so much more
Yeah I was slowly losing myself
I wasn't thinking too well
My heart knew nothing else but you
And I was slowly losing myself
Yeah I was saying farewell
To parts of me all this for you
Glad you're out of my system
Glad you're no longer part of this life that has become my own
I have nothing else to say, I forgive you
Now I am slowing regaining myself
I'm seeing clearly as well
My heart's at peace, my faith anew
I am slowly regaining myself
I'm blessed that I have found help
And I have found myself again

On My Mind

Promised me I'll be your woman forever
When you say you love me
Shivers flow down my spine and my body
It's okay you tell me
Then you touch my hand and rub it softly
Far away you would be
Never allowed that distance come between us
Put a spell up on me
Never gave all of myself completely
Then I heard a voice
Heard you call my name
Then I turned around
You were standing there
Then you came my way
My excitement raced
Ooh I didn't know what came my way
On my mind all the time
Back in time, press rewind
On my mind all the time
What's to come, so sublime
Ooeh that look you give me
Always feeling like it is the first time
Gimme love so deeply
Gave you my whole heart I give it freely
You're the one, you're for me
Never in this lifetime thought I'd feel this
Taught me love so deeply
I would do it all over entirely
Then I heard a voice
Heard you call my name
Then I turned around
You were standing there
Then you came my way
My excitement raced
Ooh I didn't know what came my way
On my mind all the time
Back in time, press rewind
On my mind all the time
What's to come, so sublime
Closer together no matter the weather
Through the up's and the down's yeah we get it together
Need me I will give you all my attention
Promise you that I will love you forever
Closer together through storm and through summer
Yeah we love and we fight but we get it together
When I need you boy you give me attention
Promised me I'll be your woman forever

Nothing Left

I have no words
I am unheard
What you do to me is
It's horrible
I lose my soul
Then I have nothing left
Nothing left
Nothing left
Then I have nothing left
Nothing left
Nothing left
Ohhh
I've always been strong
Then you came along
Crushed all the fight in me
I became weak
You scarred me deep
Now I have nothing left
Nothing left
Nothing left
Now I have nothing left
Nothing left
Nothing left
Ohhh
You took while I said no
Now I am broken
Fought back but I was slow
Ripped my heart open
Told you I had
Nothing left
Nothing left
Nothing left left left
Nothing left
Nothing left
Ohhh
Told you I had
Nothing left
Nothing left
Nothing left left left
Nothing left
Nothing left
Ohhh

Color

Used to walk
Used to walk around and say that I'm okay
But I did not know what I was talking 'bout
I was deeply soaked into the stream
Years and years
Years and years back into time
I've been thinking 'bout the day, the day I'd make my breakthrough
I was lost
Walking 'round with loads and so disarmed
And then you came
And you've brought the color to my life
yeah yeah
You've brought the color to my life
Yes you did
You have brought the color to my life
Yeah you did
Yeah you did, dooo doo do do
Brought the color to my life ohhh ohhh
Life was black and white
Up's then down's
Everywhere I walked was grey
It was so grey, cold then dark yeah
Decided to go out
Get some air
Needed my head clear
Took a walk up the hill then I saw the sunrise
I saw the yellows, I saw the greens
The blue's, the flowers and all the trees
This wild and messy image you gave me
Revealed the path you saw for me
Unlocked my door to your glory
I felt so free
When you brought the color to my life
Yeah you did
You have brought the color to my life
Oh yes you did
You have brought the color to my life
Yeah you did
Yeah you did, yeah you did
You brought the color to my life ohhh
Take take me on the journey
Up up, out of the darkness
I'll do all that I have to
Get get me out of this mess
Take take me on the journey
Up up, up to the brightness
I'll do all that I have to
Get get me out of this mess
Take take me on the journey
Up up, out of the darkness
I'll do all that I have to
Get get me out of this mess
Get me out of this mess
