V1:
Please forgive my clumsy fingers
They can’t hold a heart
The more I want it
The more the tremble
Insecure from the start
Chorus:
I can’t know you yet cause I don’t know myself
I can’t hold you yet cause I can’t hold myself
I can’t love you yet cause I don’t love myself
I don’t love myself the way I should
V2:
The one before you
Made me into
A dandelion in the wind
Blown apart at the force of his words
Scattered seeds of doubt
CHORUS
Bridge:
I won’t use you
To make me happy
To need me
To save me
I can’t ask you
I make me free
To feed me
No!
I can’t choose you
If I can’t choose me too
Choose me first
To be with you
I must first be myself
CHORUS
If I don’t know how to love
Then I’ll hurt the one I try to love
And I don’t wanna hurt you (4x)

Set Myself Free

V1:
I tiptoe to my hurt place
The soft spot on my soul
My fingertips are gentle
Touching moments turned to coal
Every feeling has a story
A mistake I’ve come to own
I forgive them one by one
I don’t have to be alone
PC1:
I forgive myself for abandoning him
I forgive myself for falling over drunk
I forgive myself for lying
I forgive myself for deciding to flunk
I have more love than regret
I have more love than regret
Chorus:
I have enough love, enough love, enough love
I have enough love to set myself free (2x)
V2:
I walk back in that memory
I can’t recall the sounds
But i can feel your anger
Those words that knocked me down
And I can taste my silence
Being swallowed by your rage
I don’t need to relive this
So I choose to turn the page
PC2:
I forgive you cause I love you
I forgive you to release you from shame
I forgive you but don’t call me
I forgive you though I know I’m not to blame
I have more love than pain
I have more love than pain
CHORUS
I forgive myself, I forgive myself
I forgive myself, I forgive myself
I forgive, I forgive, I forgive
Cause that’s what I deserve

No Room For Fear

V1:
Saw you strolling from afar
The dip, the glide, the bounce
Then your smile lifted high
To cradle every ounce
Every ounce of me caught up in worry
Of what I cannot see
Every piece me that fears
What has yet to be
P-C:
So the question is
Can I deal with me
So I don’t slow down
The growth of you and me
Chorus:
Cause I know I Love you dear
In a place that can’t be moved
And I know that it’s sincere
Cause you have nothing to prove
So I let go of control
And fall into what’s meant to be
Cause there’s no room for fear
When you’re loving me
V2:
It’s so hard to find examples
Of love that lasts for long
And there’s so much that could happen
And change all that we’ve known
Everything that worries me
Is just out of my hands
Everything you mean to me
Is right where we stand
P-C:
So the question is
Can I deal with me
So I don’t trip up
The movement of you and me
CHORUS (repeat)

Acceptance

V1:
I offer you my ear
And a spirit ready to hear
My mind is clear
No judge, no victim here
I offer you this space
All forgiveness and grace
I see the suffering on your face
Find relief in my embrace
Chorus:
The world may reject you
And you reject yourself too
Here, here darling is something new
Acceptance, acceptance
Long overdue
V2:
I offer you my time
And sweetness if you need to cry
But laughter is fine
We’ll just follow the signs
I offer you my silence
No remedy, no defense
Don’t try to make sense
Just speak until you’re cleansed
CHORUS

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces.
