lyrics

(Verse 1 – Jonathan Emile)
Heartbreak is a hell of a thing
Heartbreak is a hell of a thing
Are you ready to sing
Are you ready for wings
Are you ready to fly
Are you ready finna touch the sky
I come through and I open my third eye
Never will I testify or comply
Sitting in a room alone I ask Why?
My love ones got to die? Why?
Just because cous, just because cause
I'm a standup guy no joke
Swinging all heavy with my back against ropes
Sometimes you get the feeling the feeling you can cope
When you make bread and sharing the whole loaf
Finna get burned it turned all toast
No hope but a rope or dope won’t help you float your boat in open ocean to the coast
Remember you’re a lover remember you're a fighter
Remember you’re a lover remember you're a fighter
My life is like…

(Bridge – Jonathan Emile)
Incredible highs
Terrible lows
The life of a lover
The life of a fighter

(Hook – Jonathan Emile & Ruth Emile)
High, Low
Lover-Fighter

(Verse 2 – Jonathan Emile)
I remember the days in the hospital bed
Heavy as lead
Feeling I'm already dead
Game is on lock like a dread
Game is on lock like a dread
Then they break bread
See how they capitalize
Lyrics tell nothing but lies
See how they bring the demise
See how they wear the disguise
See how they closing they eyes
They already closed
Look inside who do you see?
Who can you be?
Can you be free?
Can you be you?
Can I be me – me?

(Verse 3 – Jonathan Emile)
I wasn't, I wasn't sure that I would ever make it
And if I got through it I promised I would never fake it
And I know I -- I know -- I know you must get that cheddar
But I know I -- I know -- I know that we can make it better
