This Will Do For Now

I'm letting this song express my feelings at the moment since I can't write about it, not this time anyway.



Me
Paula Cole featuring Junior Reid
(from The Other Sister Soundtrack)

I am not the person who is singing
I am the silent one inside
I am not the one who laughs at people's jokes
I just pacify their egos.
I am not my house, my car, my songs
They are only just stops along my way
I am like the winter
I'm a dark cold female
With a golden ring of wisdom in my cave.

Chorus:
And it is me who is my enemy
Me who beats me up
Me who makes the monsters
Me who strips my confidence.

I am carrying my voice
I am carrying my heart
I am carrying my rhythm
I am carrying my prayers.
But you can't kill my spirit
It's soaring and it's strong.
Like a mountain
I'll go on and on.
But when my wings are folded
The brightly colored moth
Blends into the dirt into the ground.

Chorus

And it's me who's too weak
And it's me who's too shy
To ask for the thing I love.
And it's me who's too weak
And it's me who's too shy
To ask for the thing I love.
That I love (6x)

I am walking on the bridge
I am over the water
And I'm scared as hell
But I know there's something better
Yes I know there's something better
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know.

That I love
But it's me
And it's me
But it's me.
