you are my peach, you are my plum. you are my earth, you are my sun. i love your fingers, i love your toes, the back of your head, the tip of your nose. and you are the reason I’m smiling when there is nothing to smile about. yeah, you are the reason I’m smiling when there is nothing to smile about.

Bobby: “I lost my voice. It’s gone. And doctors say I’ll never get it back”
Ella: “You have to learn how to sing with your heart”
Bobby: “How do I do that?”
Ella: “You search your heart”
Bobby: “Search for what?”
Ella: “For a way to make amends for the wrongs that were done and for the people that were hurt. Right now your heart is empty, child. I can feel it.When your heart once again is filled with love and joy, you’ll sing again. Might not sound the same but you will sing. Sing like you never thought you could.

“Okay so I was wrong about
My reasons for us fallin’ out
Of love I want to fall back in
My life is different now I swear
I know now what it means to care
About somebody other than myself
I know the things I said to you
They were untender and untrue
I’d like to see those things undo
So if you could find it in your heart
To give a man a second start
I promise things won’t end the same
Shame, boatloads of shame
Day after day, more of the same
Blame, please lift it off
Please take it off, please make it stop
Okay so I have read the mail
The stories people often tell
About us that we never knew
But their existence will float away
And just like every word they say
And we will hold hands as they fade
Shame, boatloads of shame
Day after day, more of the same
Blame, please lift it off
Please take it off, please make it stop
I felt so sure of everything
My love to you so well received
And I just strutted around your town
Knowing I didn’t let you down
The truth be known, the truth be told
My heart was always fairly cold
Posing to be as warm as yours
My way of getting in your world
But now I’m out and I’ve had time
To look around and think
And sink into another world
That’s filled with guilt and overwhelming
Shame, boatloads of shame
Day after day, more of the same
Blame, please lift it off
Please take it off, please make it stop
And everyone they have a heart
And when they break and fall apart
And need somebody’s helping hand
I used to say just let ‘em fall
It wouldn’t bother me at all
I couldn’t help them now I can.

I won’t beg someone to love me. I learned long ago that there is no use in hopeless pleas of trying to make someone stay. I am too good to chase someone who does not know my worth and I am too wild to keep waiting for someone who doesn’t acknowledge my value. I want to be loved unconditionally. I shouldn’t have to fight so hard for it. I do not have the time to prove to someone that I am worth it. I shouldn’t have to prove any of that; I am worth more than that.

Lauryn Hill & Mary J. Blige - I Used to Love Him”I Used To Love Him”
As I look at what I’ve done
The type of life that I’ve lived
How many things I pray the father will forgive
One situation involved a young man
He was the ocean and I was the sand
He stole my heart like a thief in the night
Dulled my senses blurried my sight
I used to love him but now I don’t
I used to love him but now I don’t
I chose the road of passion and pain
Sacrificed too much and waited in vain
Gave up my power ceased being queen
Addicted to love like the drug of a fiend
See torn and confused wasted and used
Reached the crossroad which path would I choose
Stuck and frustrated I waited, debated
For something to happen that just wasn’t fated
Thought what I wanted was something I needed
When momma said no I just should have heeded
Misled I bled till the poison was gone
And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn
I used to love him but now I don’t
I used to love him but now I don’t
Father you saved me and showed me that life
Was much more than being some foolish man’s wife
Showed me that love was respect and devotion
Greater than planets and deeper than any ocean
My soul was weary but now it’s replenished
Content because that part of my life is finished
I see him sometimes and the look in his eye
Is one of a man who’s lost treasures untold
But my heart is gold I took back my soul
And totally let my Creator control
The life which was his to begin with
I used to love him but now I don’t

(It’s been over a year since I felt the weight of your love leave my heart & lift off my shoulders. Nothing has been the same since that day but change is good & you leaving has allowed me to love myself with no reservation.)I don’t have to remind myself to breathe anymore or bite my tongue to keep from screaming when I hear your name & when your favorite song comes on, my bones no longer rattle as it plays.. This must be what being free from you feels like.(This freedom didn’t come easy & I’m proud of my progress… I clawed through each day with tears in my eyes & fear in my heart but being able to wake up in the morning & not be paralyzed by loving you anymore is my greatest accomplishment.)The sunshine no longer pours from your eyes & that’s okay because it burns less spilling from the sky. It turns out that growth is nothing but singing in the same shower that I used to cry in. When you left, I thought I was dying- But now that I can smile on my own, I know what happiness is; And I don’t need your lips in order to taste it.(You see, it wasn’t you who set me free- I did this. I owed it to that girl who was so broken but whose heart is whole again. There’s still some days filled with uncertainty but there’s one thing I do know… You don’t hold the power anymore, I took that away long before you let me go.)
It hurt like hell but I always said I’d lose you before I lost myself. // (A collab with lifeascolleen )

Every person that I’ve been in love with
has made me feel like their presence in my life
was a reward that I never earned.
So when they walked into my life, I thought it’d be crazy
for me to let them walk out.
Every person that has been in love with me
let themselves believe that I had no flaws at all,
and once they realised their mistake,
they left running with their tails between their legs.
Every person that I have ever fallen for
ended up causing me more pain than love.
Each one tried to convince me that I
was the one in the wrong; that love is meant to be
about crying yourself to sleep because the one
who means the most to you
would rather spend time with someone else,
and lie about it.
Every person that has said that they love me
has eventually bitten off their tongue
so they could never utter such words again.
I don’t blame them. Every one of them
ended up hurt through their own fault; they didn’t listen
when I said that it wouldn’t go their way.
They all thought that I would come around eventually.
I didn’t.

I felt like a walking broken heart for four months when writing the album at the start, so I wanted to portray that. I liked the idea of writing about the real side of love. Not the, ‘Baby, I miss you, come back!’ More the ‘I’m never going to put myself in that position again and henceforth, my reign as Queen Bitch From Hell begins’.

There you stood
on the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.
While I laughed,
I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye,
Knowin’ that you’d gone.
By the summer it was healing,
We had said goodbye.
All the years
We’d spent with feeling
Ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry.
