Grieving - Kehlani, James Blake

Askin' for space, I’d give my leg for it

I’ve reached a point, it’s like I beg for it

I give my sweat and tears, damn, I bled for it

No one would bet that you would lose me like that

No one would guess I had the strength to fall back

Now all I want is peace and quiet

For peace of mind, yeah

Peace and time, yeah, yeah

While I’m grievin' uh, oh

Grievin' us

I’m still grievin' uh, oh

Grievin' us

The option was to stay and ride

Or to let it die

I picked a side, now I’m just grievin' uh, oh

Grievin' us

You just can’t slow it down, drink too much, can’t pour it out

It’s a merry-go-round from sun-up to sundown

You want me to stay here, mother all your sons now

This shit ain’t no fun now, I just think it’s funny how

Funny how you made me feel that

Turn around and made me feel bad

Name a bitch patient like that

Name a bitch to cater like that

Now all I want is peace and quiet

For peace of mind, yeah

Peace and time, yeah, yeah

While I’m grievin' uh, oh

Grievin' us

I’m still grievin' uh, oh

Grievin' us

Well, I can understand how you

Would be attracted to me

Me, an ashtray for your habits

You, a moon to my sea

Well, me, the juice to your squeeze

And you a stone I would keep

In the best room of the palace

And pretend it could weep

No one has ever given so many chances as I have (No one has ever)

No one was ever given as many chances as I have

Well, I’m grievin' uh, oh

Grievin' us

I’m still grievin' uh, oh

Grievin' us

I’m grievin' uh, oh

(Grievin' us)

I’m still grievin' uh, oh

Grievin' us
