Hope (feat. Joy Oladokun)

I know I need you now and I hate it

I'm scared that If I lose you I won't make it

But ain't nobody do me like you do

The way you break my heart in two

So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?

You have really been the only way to

Live through the civil wars, and

Nine elevens and holocausts then

Dream of a better dawn

I remember when you taught me how to fly

I used to treasure you like gold

When ignorance was bliss back then

But so much has changed with time

I've watched some people die since then

Now I've lost most fights that I've fought and

I feel more broken than whole and

I've cried more than often than not

And I know that it's you in it all

So it makes me scared to trust you

When you're so often full of it

Pretend that I don't let it bother me

But I do, and it does

I know I need you now and I hate it

I'm scared that If I lose you I won't make it

But ain't nobody do me like you do

The way you break my heart in two

So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?

Your light used to keep me up at night

Dreaming of all I could be

Anything could happen, these days

An unaffordable luxury

I love you, I ain't gonna lie

You've been like water to my tree

Now you're slowly drowning me

And it's hard for me to see why

We're still standing here

Maybe our time's come and gone on

Me and you had a long time, a nice run

But everything good always has an end come

And maybe it's time you and I move on

But you're the one carrying me to the next line

Have I've let you let me down for the last time

I need you more than I've ever had to

But I don't want to

But I can't lose you

Don't let me lose you
