Ledisi — Hello

Hello…

We used to carve our love in trees
Your initials over mine, we’re enshrined
Over time, through the passing of the seasons
We were different, intimate, until we turned enemies
Then we lost the reasons
As to why we were together
You were on the low
You had me high on our together, but before
Before you say goodbye to our forever
I just gotta let you know that I see you

So hello, to the man behind the words
I thought I heard it all before
But you were hiding in the lies so you decided it was time to let go
And if it means something, just know I know, just know I know
So hello
From blast off, hello
Until it’s mask off, hello

See, I was blinded by the hope we could be special
But in time it would show
That you’re no different from the ones I say I’d never waste my time with, but
All things done in the dark come to light
Everyone moon beams look dimmer in the sun

So hello, to the man behind the words
I thought I heard it all before
But you were hiding in the lies so you decided it was time to let go
And if it means something, just know I know, just know I know
So hello
From blast off, hello
Until it’s mask off, hello

Under your skin, the truth of you
That hides behind the shadows of your grin
The ugly under these «I love you»‘s cover what’s within
The kiss of crimson-colored killer
So before you go, at least you can say

So hello, to the man behind the words
I thought I heard it all before
But you were hiding in the lies so you decided it was time to let go
And if it means something, just know I know, just know I know
So hello
From blast off, hello
Until it’s mask off, hello
