But the creator was sending for her
He spoke with his eyes, tear-filled
Serenade her without speaking a word
I felt like he failed me
Sometimes I wish a careless whisper
Wish I knew then how to heal with herbs
Liberation
How could I judge him?
A place where many lovers began
Usually after sex it's a good feel
A feeling not even time could heal
To love through the physical, inside it burned
My whole life it was in steel
So far we'd come for him to tell me
Like that she didn't want us to remember her
This is how real life's supposed to be?
We lay under the cover of friends
About going pro we dreamed together
Sometimes I wish a careless whisper
My heart turned, I thought of what this man did
Happiness would only visit once in a while
When she was eight she was raped by her father
Through sexuality he liberated himself
What seemed like the end was the beginning for her
Wasn't there to judge her, many ways I loved her
Because of you I'm stronger, I'm afraid no longer
Somehow I knew she'd make it
Only to be freed through death
Memories of that year so close and vivid
I stare with my eyes closed
His parents found out and hated him for it
Said it was a blessing and it happened for a reason
Between me and you
No more medication did she want us to give to her
A feeling he said he wish he could kill
I could feel her tears spill from her grille
As he did insecurity held me
She laid, I watched her breathe
Hurt from before that began to build
Knew a part of her I could heal with words
Thought she could redeem through love makin'
Now there was no way for him to ignore it
Between me and you
Because of you I'm stronger, I'm afraid no longer
Wonder if sex is what she found it in
Watchin' Jordan became less important
I feel so alive in me, you have liberated me
We went through doubt and cases of insure
She told me hold me, a story she assembled it
Happy to be here, not afraid to leave
I began to feel her body shake in my hand
Less than a year she was diagnosed with it
Seeing this disease eat away my aunt's organs
Had to accept him if I truly loved him
It was more than bodies we shared with each other
Body language, it's so hard trying to understand
Between me and you
Serenade her without speaking a word
Hurt she placed in chemo and lost hair
To watch an adult becoming a child
Wonder when the body leave does the mind go?
For it to happen to someone close to me?
I'd known him for like what seemed forever
The life of one so given early would God take it?
It spread from her liver to her lungs to her last breath
Because of you I'm stronger, I'm afraid no longer
No longer he said had he hated himself
Peace, found it laying down with men
I feel so alive in me, you have liberated me
Took by silence, emotion stood still
Death in her face, her not having fear
Never knew it would turn out like this
Between me and you
Serenade her without speaking a word
It was a story of innocence taken
I couldn't conceive her not being here
Felt pitiful she had only learned
Her soul was tired and never really rested
Tellin' it, trying not to remember it
This ain't the way that men feel
Sometimes I wish a careless whisper
For so long he tried to fight this
I feel so alive in me, you have liberated me
Hurt she placed in, hope and prayer
And tried to escape through multiple sex partners
A lump in his throat, his fear built
By speaking it she found freedom
To the spirit, yelled help me
According to doctors there's no cure
She forgave him, she grew to understand it
Only with men through aggression
