She's Me - Faith Evans, Monifah

Everybody told 'er

Be careful of the strangers

But no one ever said the danger’s here at home

Nobody will believe 'er

That’s what he always told 'er

That’s why she pulls away

When anybody holds her

She feels so alone

Without a place to call home

And she smiles, pretends that it’s okay

But she’s disseized her stars

They never fade away

And she laughs to mask away the pain

Something that they said

She’d never be the same

She’s your mother, she’s your sister

She’s your lover, she’s your friend

Looking to arise once again

She’s me, she’s me

She was just a nice girl (she was just a nice girl)

Or maybe just a shy girl

She never even dreamed that you would notice her (notice her)

He was mr.

popular (popular)

His attention was an honor

But when he got her alone

He turned into a monster

Nobody knows

She thought she couldn’t say no

And she smiles, pretends that it’s okay

But she’s disseized her stars

They never fade away

And she laughs to mask away the pain

Something that they said

She’d never be the same

She’s your mother, she’s your sister

She’s your lover, she’s your friend

Looking to arise once again

She’s me, she’s me.

Nobody knows

She thought she couldn’t say no

And she smiles, pretends that it’s okay

But she’s disseized her stars

They never fade away

And she laughs to mask away the pain

Something that they said

She’d never be the same

She’s your mother, she’s your sister

She’s your lover, she’s your friend

Looking to arise once again

She’s me, she’s me
