[Intro]
hmm mm
hmm mm

[verse]
Truly sorry that your hurtin
And I’m sorry I can’t help
Certain things will feel like curses
When your sufferin by yourself
But that's no reason to go lock me up
behind your prison cell
you want company in your misery
like that'll make you well
see what they're callin love is selfish
cause real love would never hurt
and if you've never felt a love like that
you start accepting pain as what’s deserved
but baby no one deserves to suffer
and everybody wants to love
but I'm sorry I can't be your buffer
I just love myself way too much

[chorus]
And It may take 2 to tango
But it only took one dance
To let me know that saving you meant
That I’d drown without a chance
So I let go
[I let you go, let you go]
To save my soul, I let go

[verse]
There's a disconnection of affection
Many out here strugglin
Separatin the body from the mind and heart
Like you can put it back together again
On the other hand cupid shootin
fools with tools they've never used
so everybody catchin strays
use to be regulated
this game y'all playin
but the referee is playin favs
i must advise the wise
to step aside
get yourself out while you still can
have a nice warm seat on the bleachers
cause pickin up your pride hurts a lot
less than picking up after leaches
and you may cry your eyes out at this time
but someday you'll understand
not every man is for every woman
an not every woman for every man
[you 'gon be alright]

[outro]
Cause It may take 2 to tango
But it only took one dance
To let me know that savin you meant
That I’d drown without a chance
So I let go
[I let you go. let you go]
I let you go
To save my soul,
[save my soul, save my soul]
I let go
[I let you go]

[Verse 1]
Before we get started
I feel I should let you know
I've never been brokenhearted
Never longed for someone to make me whole
I never gave of myself
Than what was only necessary
And I'm so scared of what this could do to me

[Chorus]
'Cause I've never been in love
But I know heartbreak
Yes, I know heartbreak (mm)
Never had the best fortune
When giving my heart away
Maybe that can change

[Verse 2]
But before we get started
I feel I should let you go
Can't take no more hardships
Don't want my heart to turn to stone
You can promise everything and more
But I still won't believe
I've learned the hard way that such words don't mean a thing

[Chorus]
And I've never been in love
But I know heartbreak
Yes, I know heartbreak
Never had the best fortune
When giving my heart away
I hope that can change

[Verse 3]
Before we get started
I will just let you know
You've got only one chance
My memories of pain, I'll let them go for you
Your deeds, your heart show me you are worth every scary part

[Outro]
And we're just getting started
We're just getting started
We're just getting started
Just getting started (mm)
(mm)

[Verse 1]
I'm too good of a woman to let you bring me down
Been through too much to sit here and drown
There's been so many lies and tears I have cried
Time to put my heart to rest
Now I leave with no regrets

[Chorus]
'Cause my heart was broken
And I would feel hopeless
But I know that I deserve more than this
'Cause I am a good woman
I am a good woman
(Mmm-mmm)

[Verse 2]
I'm too tired to hate you, your fake love wore me out
My breath is too precious to waste on such a clown
Your intimidation won't work on me
I've grown too strong, I'm so glad you left me

[Chorus]
'Cause though my heart was broken
And I would feel hopeless
I know that I deserve more than this
'Cause I am a good woman
I am a good woman
(Mmm, mmm)

[Outro]
I'm too good of a woman to let you bring me down

[Intro]
(Mmm-mmm)
(Mmm-mmm)
(Mmm-mmm)
(Mmm-mmm)

[Chorus]
Ohh chains way down on me
they try to take my integrity
Oh oh- chains won't let me breathe won't let me go- damaged free

[Verse]
Beyond the pain, you see your goal
Beyond the shame, you see a chance to remold
It is hard work living
It's too easy to die
This will not be my ending
I will learn to survive

[Chorus]
Ohh chains way down on me
They try to take my integrity
Oh oh- chains won't let me breathe won't let me go- damaged free

[Verse]
Ya can't have my peace
I won't give it away
Tribulation will come- but I won't be afraid-
For it- is written, i have conquered the world-
What can mere man do to me?
And how long can it hurt?

[Chorus]
So when these chains
Weigh down on me
I will not break my integrity
Oh these chains may not let me be
Wont let me go, wont let me free
So what if these chains are testin me
I was not made to be weak

[Outro]
I was not made to be~ weak
hmmm

Tell me what’s the mix up
Need to get this fixed up
I ain’t holdin too tight
Workin hard for nothin
Givin you my everything
Somethin bout that ain’t right

Tell me what ya waitin for
Never really cared 'bout the score
I’m just needin some love

yea I need some love babe
Won’t place no blame
No, I ain’t telling you off
But Love’s more than words
Just like faith without works is dead
And you're rippin me off
Cause Losing myself
Losing myself was no part of the cost

What is so confusing
See you just steady choosin
Let’s just make somethin clear
There is no debating
I don’t believe in sharing
Just stay gone if not here

Tell me what ya waitin for
Love ’n lust we can have for sure
But are you ready to love?

Cause I need some love babe
Won’t place no blame
No I ain’t tellin you off
But Love’s more than words
Just like faith without works is dead
And you're rippin me off
Cause Losing myself,
Losing myself was no part of the cost
oh the cost ~

Ya see my heart is hurt
And im tired of trying
Nothing left to give and
Exhausted from fightin.
In this battle alone
Cause you gave up halfway through
Out here dyin alone
Then realized I get to choose~
(I get to choose too)

Do you know I need some love babe
And I'm not placing blame
No, I ain’t telling you off
But Love’s more than words
Just like faith without works is dead
And you're ripping me off
Cause Losing myself,
Losing myself was no part of the cost.

Losing myself,
Losing myself was no part of the cost.
(Part of the Cost.
part of the, part of the, part of the, cost~
part of the, part of the, part of the cost~
hmmmm)

This one is one for the books,
But not one that will last for a Life~ time.
At first you had me hooked,
Then somebody threw me a lifeline.
I found that fallin's just not enough,
When there is never someone to catch me.
I've had enough of your love,
Keeps reminding me of what we can't be.

So won't you let this go?
Don't hold on.
Let me go, oh~

This one's gon' hurt for some time,
But the longer it takes, oh the better~.
Cause this pain means I've loved in my life~
And for that alone I am better.
Now I know fallin's just not enough,
If the fall is only temporary.
I need me some unselfish love
Someone always riding out for me

So won't you let this go?
Let me go, oh Let me go
Let me go×2

I don't want to be a hero
But that don't make me a villain
Saving everybody gets old
When they cause their own destruction

And when the dominoes fall
you'll be left to carry it all

I'm not your hero
I'm just a man
I don't need to be worshipped
For doin what I can
Don't have a Spirit of cowardice
It's worse than the evilest of things
but I'm not your hero
just what we ought to be

I will never be a coward
Sacrificing to save myself
Villainy, although tempting
Is more work than payout
I'm on the frontlines of love
Just trying to make it through

So when the dominoes fall
Carry me out too

Although I'm not your hero
I can't save myself
Not one to be worshipped
Just one like yourself
Don't have a Spirit of cowardice
It's worse than the evilest of things
But I'm not your hero
I'm just what we ought to be

What we ought to be×3

Hm.
Hmmm.
Hmmm.
Hmmmm~

I, I know where skies.
They hide at night.
Then darkness, is light.
I~. I know a lions,
A Lions pride.
It hunts at night.
So at night we'll rise.

In the open fields of gold there I see,
Someone dancing in the grasses with much glee.
And they're flying like an eagle, ascending.
And they're free~
(Free. Hmm)

Sometimes, things go awry.
But we won't hide.
We'll stand, and fight.
Oh there, is more to life.
Than just to survive.
So you, must, thrive.

In the open fields of gold there I see,
Someone dancing in the grasses with much glee.
And they're flying like an eagle, ascending.
And they're free~
(Free, free, free)

In the open fields of gold there I see~
Someone dancing in the grasses with much glee~
And they're flying like an eagle, ascending~
They are one with all they touch and all they see~

And they're free
They are, free
They are, me
It is me~

Hm.
Hmmm.
Hmmm.
Hmmmm~
