Broken Kora Serenade

Oh-oh, yeah (hmmm)

I gave you my keys,

gave you my trust

But you swept it away like dry harmattan dust

Now I am sitting here

counting the hours

Looking at the dry,

faded pink flowers

Why you had to do me so cold?

(so cold) All of the promises we used to hold

Now they are broken,

scattered on the floor

And you don't even care anymore This heartbreak is heavy on my

chest (oh-no)

I gave you my all,

you gave me the rest

How am I supposed to

carry on this weight

When you turned my love into a silent gate?

My friends tell me

to let it go

But they don't know the pain beneath the show

I smile for the camera,

I laugh with the crowd

But inside my head,

the silence is too loud

Oh-oh,

you locked the door

Left me stranded on the cold,

hard floor (why did you leave me?) Now I'm learning to heal

from the scars

Underneath these quiet, distant stars

This heartbreak is heavy on my chest

(oh-no) I gave you my all,

you gave me the rest

How am I supposed to carry on this weight

When you turned my love into a silent gate?

No more tears, no more pain (hmm-mm) I will rise above the

pouring rain

Yeah, oh-oh
