Love You for Free - Cynthia Erivo

When you wake up too soon

'Cause slivers of the moon

Got under your skin

And walls are closing in

'Cause down in the city

Only God knows you’re alone

When there comes a time

When you are not mine

And I’m not yours

And hope itself ignores you

When the sigh you breathe

Is all that’s yours to own

You are so ugly

You fit in my head

Like a bird in a cup

Now when you grow up

Remember my face

Like a promise of grace

In this world, my child

You have a place

When God swings overhead

Like a body from a tree

Remember what I said

Don’t break the thread

Just flow down the river

That splits into you and me

You are so ugly

You fit in my head

Like a bird in a cup

Now when you grow up

Remember my face

Like a promise of grace

In this world, my child

You have a place

Hush, it’s just me

I’m one of the few

Who’s gonna love you for free

Won’t you take it from me?

Just one of the few

Who’s gonna love you for free

Who’s gonna love you for free

When all that you need

Is more than you can stand

All that you freed

Has laid waste unto the land

Remember she who hates herself

Is not humble

Hush, it’s just me

I’m one of the few

Who’s gonna love you for free

Won’t you take it from me?

I’m one of the few

Who’s gonna love you for free

Who’s gonna love you for free
