(Soft piano chords)
Ooh, yeah
Esther, can you hear me?
It’s been too long, my love
I look at your photo and the memories start to play
I know I messed up, I know I pushed you far away
We’re two ships sailing in a storm we created ourselves
Leaving our promises gathered in dust on the shelves
I’m tired of the silence, tired of the games we play
I’m baring my soul, girl, I’ve got so much to say
Oh Esther, my heart is crying for you tonight
I’m sorry for the darkness, I just want to make it right
See, the problem ain't the love, we got plenty of that
It’s the way we speak, it’s the way we fail to react
We’re missing the meaning, we’re losing the rhythm of us
But I’m still here, baby, in you I still trust
Every time we talk, it’s like we’re speaking different tongues
I’m fighting for air, like the oxygen’s gone from my lungs
I hurt you, you hurt me, it’s a cycle of pain
But I’d walk through fire just to stand in your rain
Omo, I no fit pretend like everything is okay
I want to understand you, I want to learn you every day
Oh Esther, my heart is crying for you tonight
I’m sorry for the darkness, I just want to make it right
See, the problem ain't the love, we got plenty of that
It’s the way we speak, it’s the way we fail to react
We’re missing the meaning, we’re losing the rhythm of us
But I’m still here, baby, in you I still trust
Can we bridge the gap? Can we find a new way?
I’m begging you Esther, don’t turn and walk away
I know I’m not perfect, but I’m willing to grow
Let’s slow down the pace, let’s take it nice and slow
Oh Esther, my heart is crying for you tonight
I’m sorry for the darkness, I just want to make it right
See, the problem ain't the love, we got plenty of that
It’s the way we speak, it’s the way we fail to react
We’re missing the meaning, we’re losing the rhythm of us
But I’m still here, baby, in you I still trust
Esther, please forgive me
It’s just us against the world
I love you, I really do
Stay with me, yeah
