Back to the Middle - Vedera

She is, twenty five, spent over half of her life So afraid to speak her mind, it's such a shame 'Cause what a brilliant mind she has And now that she's been introduced to confidence She doesn't see, that she is bordering on arrogance When will she learn, to come back to the middle He is, a young black man, grew up without his father And now it falls into his hands, to protect his mother 'Cause if he doesn't, well then who will, his older brother lives in fear Of everything, especially, trying to fill his father's shoes Respectively, they go to extremes, of masculine and feminine Chasing dreams, but they keep on falling 'Cause they don't know no balance When will they learn, to come back to the middle You must take the good with the bad, and you might hit the wall Sometimes you'll fly and sometimes you'll fall There isn't any way, to avoid the pain But it's getting burned, that's how you will learn To come back to the middle Needing to protect your self now that is just a part of life If you let your fears keep you from flying, you will never reach your height To get to the top you must come back to the middle When will we learn, to come back to the middle Come back to the middle, Come back to the middle Don't make no mind about falling down 'Cause it's when you're in that valley You can see both sides more clearly Come back to the middle

Take a walk with me love You say you can't get enough Well, you won't 'til you open your door And you give some more to me And the silence in your steps As you tiptoe around the rest It makes me want to pull you in and kiss you My friend, in your silly games And I'm not tired, I could chase you around And debate you here again and again So tell me lies if you want to I can take it, I won't be afraid 'Cause I am the rain The rain is gentle some days It can clean up the mess that winter made The rain can wash all the years Of drought and the tears that were shed So just look up please Shine a little bit of hope to me Let me know, there's a season for all And a season to call you my love And throw me off with your pride, it's okay I won't hide here again and again I'll tell you there's no mistaking The reason that I'm not afraid 'Cause I am the rain The rain will wash us clean and I know The rain will wash us clean And when it does I will be right Beside you holding on, holding on The rain will wash us clean and I know The rain will wash us clean And when it does I will be right Beside you holding on, holding on

It's all the same Sex in the air Your promise is all the same You'll be the one who will always care But how can you promise the world? How can you promise your heart when it's always searching? But I'm just like you I don't want to deny my heart it's chance to feel I don't want to deny my soul something real Is there anything left in this world that will satisfy me? "Do you really love him?" They'll say Your second chances scribbled in the rules But I think the consequence It's just Something more feels so exciting now And this black romance is so enticing And this desire is worth the fighting But is it worth deciding that I am just like you? I don't want to deny my heart it's chance to feel I don't want to deny my soul something real Is there anything left in this world that will satisfy you and me? (And it keeps repeating) And it keeps repeating It keeps repeating (And we keep believing) And we keep believing We keep believing Disrupt the part of me that needs some space Repeat that look I see in your face Remind me of truth Remind me of the reason for existing Remind me of truth Remind me of the reason for existing

Here in a box I hide the letters Written, postmarked with your name Secrets I wish I could only share With a heart that feels, feels the same And here we fall to pieces In front of each other but we know Somehow we're greater Than our lonely fears Here's where the notes were torn and crumbled Before feelings could reach the page Try to replace some sober thought From emotion, fists held up with rage And here we fall to pieces In front of each other but we know Somehow we're so much greater Than Here we fall to pieces In front of each other but we know Somehow we're greater Than our lonely fears Though I'm a simple mind, I know I can see the picture drawn out here You are the reason I have found To keep believing in these years And though the road is long The trying keeps us holding on this way And make no mistake, this is love Love, love, love, this is love, love And here we fall to pieces In front of each other but we know Somehow we're so much greater Than Here we fall to pieces In front of each other but we know Somehow we're greater Than our lonely fears

I don't wanna notice I don't wanna see Even I don't give up Even I won't give up You're breaking the surface So what's left of me? Tell me when is enough Tell me I should give up It's not the way you move It's your words Though they soothe They're not telling the truth Didn't I know you? Didn't I try to carry on While just believing in you? Didn't I give up everything? Tell me now if there's A reason for anything My heart it was open You stepped through the door It is tearing me up Giving in, giving up Left here always hoping One day there'd be more Even I don't give up But tell me when is enough I see the strings you pull I'm not blind And I'm not fooled Well, you know it's true Didn't I know you? Didn't I try to carry on While just believing in you? Didn't I give up everything? Tell me now if there's A reason for anything And here we are one glance away I wanted you, you couldn't stay Every part of me Still reaching out, reaching in And will I be here till the day You've found another To back away from? I won't make the same mistake again, no Didn't I know you? Didn't I try to carry on While just believing in you? Didn't I give up everything? Tell me now if there's A reason for anything Didn't I know you? Didn't I try to carry on While just believing in you? Didn't I give up everything? Tell me now if there's A reason for anything 'Cause even I don't give up Even I don't give up Even I don't give up Even I don't give up I don't wanna notice I don't wanna see Even I don't give up Even I won't give up

Should we even wonder why our hearts are torn? Why our image is based on this broken city? Should we ask ourselves why our lungs breathe in sickness? Innocence is seen as weakness, laughter at as naïve. And it's these things that hold you down When they're supposed to keep you safe and sound. And it's these things you claim to believe Don't let them be the ones you forever try to please. It's a scene that leaves you cold But why choose anything else and lose your place in line? May I ask one thing, how do you think this will work out? You are no more well-liked than those who have been betrayed And it's these things that hold you down When they're supposed to keep you safe and sound And it's these things you claim to believe Don't let them be the ones you forever try to please Look at you now Look at you now And it's these things that hold you down When they're supposed to keep you safe and sound. And it's these things you claim to believe Don't let them be the ones you forever try to please.
