Lauryn Hill - Every GhettoEvery City lyrics

This is the view from the other side

How did I let this pass me by?

You took me from granted,

Blended thorns in this garden of mine.

What are the chances my hope has died?

Didn't have mercy

You unnerved me

I don't deserve this pain, no.

So don't break my heart

I ain't never done

Nothing to deserve this

I'm torn apart

You've had your part

Do you suppose I earned it?

Do you not see

How I'm begging on my knees?

No don't speak, don't breathe,

You pray I've the Devil in me.

Thinking it over

Those were days dark as any night

The end of October seemed like a life time

I had a suspicion

But didn't want to believe you a lie.

You had a mission

To prove me right.

You took my trust

Ground it to dust

Found out I know better. Yea-yeah.

So don't break my heart

I ain't never done

Nothing to deserve this

I'm torn apart

You've had your part

Do you suppose I earned it?

Do you not see

How I'm begging on my knees?

No don't speak, don't breathe,

You pray I've the Devil -

And I don't wanna feel the pain

And I don't want another day

Shackled to your ball and chain.

You're entirely a pain

And I'm so tired of explaining

The sensation I've known over time.

I don't ever care that there is

No charity in your heart

Could you spare me, I've done my part? Yeah.

So don't break my heart

I ain't never done

Nothing to deserve this

I'm torn apart

You've had your part

Do you suppose I earned it?

Do you not see

How I'm begging on my knees?

No don't speak, don't breathe,

You pray I've the Devil -

So don't break my heart

I ain't never done

Nothing to deserve this

I'm torn apart

You've had your part

Do you suppose I earned it?

Do you not see

How I'm begging on my knees?

No don't speak, don't breathe,

You pray I've the Devil in me
