Kwaku Asante - Before You Go Lyrics

Before you go, I need you to know
Your love was never in vain
My mind runs wild
But my heart is tame
As days go by
I know you will maintain

A state of mind I can't relate
Cause I'm living in a different way
It hurts to be me
It doesn't hurt to be free

Like a bird when the seasons change
And teleport to a new terrain
We're next to the rainbow
By the end you'll see gold

The roads not much further
You hate where they've been
When I speak on my life
You say it's a sin

Don't call out my purpose
It's out of your depth
There's room for much progress
I'll show you instead

Most days I don't wanna be here
Failing you has always been my biggest fear

Before you go, I need you to know
My, words mean more
More than what you understand

The mornings here my eyes open
I'm lost in the abyss

The pen is dry, with its idle ways
Doubt has crept in, this new feeling is strange

The route to joy is paved with ache
So much more to give, but they just take
I carry it well
With no secrets to tell

Accept the care you gave me from young
Always taught me to hold my tongue
Believe in the work you've done
Constant like the moon and sun

These standards in place that I will feel never meet
To follow your words I'd never complete
Tekua from my home is what you'd like to see
Create a new nest so it's best that I leave

Sometimes I wonder what you'll say
It's hurts to hear these same words again

Before you go, I need you to know
My, words mean more
More than what you understand

Don't you go
Baby don't you leave me
Leave our problems on the ceiling

Don't you go
Baby don't you leave me
Leave our problems on the ceiling

Don't you go
Baby don't you leave me
Leave our problems on the ceiling
