Samuel Oluwatobi Olatunji and Keenah-kay Chekwas



K:

My heart is grieving from within

A pain so deep it’s overwhelming

S:

Last night, he picked my heart

And nailed it on the cross of Calvary

K:

I watched it bleed at his feet

Powerless to stop the flow

S:

My eyes bled like my heart

Then a weakness wrecked me

K:

I looked for something to hold as I fell to the ground

In a pool of heart’s blood

S:

And gradually I drowned praying for oxygen to breathe again

K:

In the abyss of myself

I saw the reflection of a heart once held by love

S:

I have known how to love

Now I only know how to hate

K:

I have been hurt countless times

And cried many a river

S:

Now I will cry no more

You will never find the hue of hurt in my eyes again

K:

Deep down inside

I’ll fight a lot of battles to keep up my façade.
