Aweh)
Irene,
listen
close (
Sharp
sharp)
Yeah,
yeah
You’
ve
seen
the
way
I
shift,
like
weather
in
the
sky
My
moods
are
unpredictable,
I
see
it
in
your
eye
You
call
it
drama,
babe,
I
call
it
internal
war
I
pull
away
to
silence,
hide
behind
the
door
But
you,
you
never
turn
away,
you
stand
your
ground
My
overthinking
blooms
like
nightfall,
but
you
calm
me
down
Oh
Irene,
you’
re
the
one
who
makes
me
believe
In
this
thing
called
staying,
it’
s
not
just
make-believe
I
don’
t
need
perfection,
no,
I
need
the
truth
Be
real
with
me,
Irene,
in
the
days
of
our
youth (
Yebo,
asambe)
Irene,
you’
re
the
one
who
makes
me
believe
I
disappear
into
the
shadows
of
my
mind
You’
re
the
lighthouse,
girl,
the
steady
kind
It’
s
dangerous
how
easy
you
make
it
look
to
stay
How
you
push
the
clouds
and
the
doubts
away
But
I
need
to
know,
when
the
storm
gets
deep
Are
you
keeping
promises
that
you
intend
to
keep?
Oh
Irene,
you’
re
the
one
who
makes
me
believe
In
this
thing
called
staying,
it’
s
not
just
make-believe
I
don’
t
need
perfection,
no,
I
need
the
truth
Be
real
with
me,
Irene,
in
the
days
of
our
youth (
Eish,
let's
go)
Irene,
you’
re
the
one
who
makes
me
believe
Tell
me
when
you’
re
upset,
don’
t
hold
it
inside
Tell
me
when
you
need
me,
let’
s
have
nowhere
to
hide
Be
real
with
me
even
when
it’
s
uncomfortable,
babe
I’
m
not
looking
for
a
love
that’
s
just
a
masquerade
I
want
the
grit,
I
want
the
sweat,
I
want
the
real
thing
I
want
the
song
that
only
honest
hearts
can
sing
Love
isn’
t
just
for
the
easy,
sunny
days
It’
s
for
the
messy
nights
and
the
complicated
ways
I
see
you
there,
waiting,
patient
and
kind
I’
m
leaving
the
drama,
leaving
the
ghosts
behind
With
you,
Irene,
I’
m
finding
my
way
home
Never
again
will
I
wander
alone
Oh
Irene,
you’
re
the
one
who
makes
me
believe
In
this
thing
called
staying,
it’
s
not
just
make-believe
I
don’
t
need
perfection,
no,
I
need
the
truth
Be
real
with
me,
Irene,
in
the
days
of
our
youth (
Sho,
Irene)
Irene,
you’
re
the
one
who
makes
me
believe
Yeah,
you’
re
my
anchor (
Aweh)
Irene,
believe
in
us
Be
real
with
me,
always (
Asambe)
