Green Garden - Laura Mvula

Sometimes the grass ain't greener on the other side. Maybe the sky is clearer in another place. But you got diamonds under your feet. But you got diamonds in your heart. Waiting for a day of change to come. And you're beautiful, dancing in a gloomy store. But you got diamonds under your feet. But you got diamonds in your heart. But you got diamonds in your heart

I've been doing the best I can With all that I have All I really needed was a little compassion Another blow to the ego A victim of conditional love All up into my shadow Oh, you make it look easy When you took it all from me Left me for empty That familiar sorrow Another blow to the ego What kinda magic Poof-poof and then vanish Drop me at the ground zero Another blow to my ego I don't cry no tears for you I needed love unconditional Another blow to the ego A victim of conditional love Don't live in the fiasco Done giving in to a feeling Taken up in a moonbeam Woke up in a mid-dream A provisional kindred soul Another blow to the ego A victim of conditional love What kinda habit Leave me here stranded Think I need to fly solo Break the chain to my ego I don't cry no tears for you I needed love unconditional I don't cry no tears for you (cry for you) I needed love unconditional I don't cry no tears for you I needed love unconditional I don't cry no tears for you (cry for you) I needed love unconditional
