Mysterious Things
I would've followed you to hell and back In my mind I never asked you for anything back I came at you with love just looking for mercy It was never your fault the world made me unworthy I showered you in admiration What's fascinating not exaggerating at all My god you're that amazing Decades later I peel back the layers Actually traded in loyalty for your validation You never asked to be a father to this grown ass son Can't fault you for the fact you never acted like one I demanded the one thing impossible to give If it's real it's got to come from within If it's unhealthy I know that that's at least half me But I might just need to leave that be Sometimes it needs to be that growth and adjustment The hearts are never closed They're just under construction But what then Human beings are mysterious things It's a body with a spirit that wiggles the strings The truth doesn't always appear as it seems And a lot of times hearing it stings Human beings are mysterious things Lot of stress with the lesson experience brings Letras de cancionesThe truth doesn't always appear as it seems And a lot of times hearing it stings When you say to me I don't want to lead you I want to be equals I'm trying to believe you If we truly are peers I need it to appear and be clear In our equity respect and our ideas What I want to know as far as partnership goes If you're really down to roll if you're not in control Do you speak to me in ways you would never be spoken to Control me in ways you would never be open to Maybe I can grow but I'll never be grown to you Now that I know that what the hell am I supposed to do It's so so true I couldn't have become me without you I also couldn't become the next me around you I think I might be doing better than ever before I don't even argue with you in my head anymore I let you win em all for the record never settled the score That's just not a fight that I have energy for anymore Human beings are mysterious things It's a body with a spirit that wiggles the strings The truth doesn't always appear as it seems And a lot of times hearing it stings Human beings are mysterious things Lot of stress with the lesson experience brings The truth doesn't always appear as it seems And a lot of times hearing it stings Our first relationship is with the supreme being Whatever language it is you use for the source of meaning All the pain and the anger and questions I hope they graduate to gratitude and acceptance The second is the bond that we build with our own selves Lifetime of trauma memories and our folk tales Hope you feel at home in the hole where your soul dwells From your receding hairline to your toenails We mix it with the mamas and our first romances Our childhood circumstances and our chances If you glace at the surface Below it there's a universal load That you carry to the banquet before the first hello There's a universe going on inside us all It's always tryna unite and divide us all That's a factory setting it's just by default Just trying to reflect a little light is all Yes y'all Human beings are mysterious things It's a body with a spirit that wiggles the strings The truth doesn't always appear as it seems And a lot of times hearing it stings Know what I mean Human beings are mysterious things A lot of stress in the lesson experience brings The truth doesn't always appear as it seems And a lot of times hearing it stings From Letras Mania
