The Declaration

Ashanti( 亞香緹 ) The Declaration歌詞
1.Intro

2008
It's been about 4 years now
I've been through a lot
I've experienced life
I've experienced death
I felt pain
I never felt before
I've been on top
I've experienced
Not being on top
So when they ask me
What am I declaring?
I'm declaring me
I am
The declaration


2.The Way That I Love You

Now after all of this time that we tried
I found out we were living a lie
That after all of this love that we made
I found out You don't love me the same
The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you
I woke up kinda early today
And something told me from that moment
It wouldn't be the same
I knew you were hiding something
But I didn't push it
I didn't know what to say
I tried to pretend, Like I didn't see it
Cause deep down I knew I didn't want to believe it
There it was, it was you and her
You left your sidekick on the nightstand
And I read
Everything you did, and everything you said and
And now I'm standing here looking like damn..
I thought it was you and I
Now I all I got to say is why?
After all of this time that we tried
I found out we were living a lie
And after all of this love that we made
I found out you don't love me the same
The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you
I notice now, that when your around
You be trying to lock the door
Whispering on the phone
Now wait a minute since we been in this house
You ain't never did this before
Tell me what's this about?
I tried to sit and say to myself
This here is too good he don't want nothing else
There it was, it was you and her
You left your credit card receipt inside the beamer babe
Everything you bought her, and everything you spending
Now I'm standing here once again
I thought it was you and I
Now I all I have to say is why?
After all of this time that we tried
I found out we were living a lie
And after all of this love that we made
I found out you don't love me the same
The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you

You Lied, You lied, Oh Why?
Why'd you have to lie to me?
Why'd you have to lie to me?
Why'd you have to lie to me?
Why?

After all of the times that we've tried
I found out we were living a lie
And after all of this love that we made
I know now you don't love me the same

The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you

3.Your Gonna Miss

It's killin' me to think that you don't want it no more
I shoulda learned my lesson when you fucked before
You said something, I said something, seems like this thing is
over
Cuz you ain't called since you been gone
But I ain't gonna stress about it anymore
And I ain't gonna cry another night no
You gonna miss this chick right here
You gonna miss this chick I swear
I hate to admit it my heart was all in it
Like a fatal attraction happened cuz now it's killin' me
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't breathe
I just want you back with me baby
I can't help but think that we were always wrong
Although I find it hard to keep myself from holding on
And when I try to justify what you did wrong
It's like I'm constantly reminded that I can't move on
But I ain't gonna stress about it anymore
And I ain't gonna cry another night no
You gonna miss this chick right here
You gonna miss this chick I swear
I'm tired of faking that we could have made it
My heart keeps on aching and I just can't take it
Hey! I feel so weak (I can't breathe)
I just want you back wit me baby
I can't help but think that we were always wrong
Although I find it hard to keep myself from holding on
And when I try to justify what you did wrong
It's like I'm constantly reminded that I can't move on
But I ain't gonna stress about it anymore
And I ain't gonna cry another night no
You gonna miss this chick right here
You gonna miss this chick I swear
Said ain't nobodys out there like mine
You went and (Uhh...) for the very last time
You gonna miss this chick right here
You gonna miss this chick I swear
But I ain't gonna stress about it anymore
And I ain't gonna cry another night no
You gonna miss this chick right here
You gonna miss this chick I swear


4.So Over You

I must admit I was set trippin', early on
So not my self, boy you had me completely gone
I lost my cool when I found out 'bout you
And how cowardly you move,
I'm just glad that now I'm through
I'm so over you
I am finished cryin over your lyin', over denyin',
I am so over you, so over you
Said I'm finished with it,

I'm so over you,

Now we done been through this same cycle, time and time
Let you back in even when you broke this heart of mine
I've had enough, boy I swear this time I'm done
You can pack up all your stuff, frankly I don't give a fuck
I'm so over you
I am finished cryin over your lyin', over denyin',
I am so over you, so over you
Said I'm finished with it,
ain't no more hurtin' over here
I done lost my cool for just a minute,

5.Struggle

I couldn't fall asleep late last night
Thinking what we had
Just might be all over baby
And I don't know if you meant
What you said when you told me
You was sick of trying
You was sick of fighting crying, lying
Didn't wanna do this again
We really said some things
We really did some things we should've never did
And we both know it takes more
Just to apologize but from what
I'm feeling inside
Boy I'm yours
And boy you're mine
And even if I said
I was leaving babe
I couldn't picture
No more you and me
See I ain't perfect babe
And you ain't perfect baby
So listen to the realest thing I could say
Sometimes it's a struggle babe
And it only hurts cause I love you baby
And for what it's worth
I will struggle babe
Cause I wanna be in your life
I'ma keep trying
Over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
See we done been together for a few years now
Ain't no way we just gon' sit right here
And throw it out
See even if it's my mistake
Or if it's your mistake
And then we scream and shout
You gotta know I love you babe
And I'ma show you babe
That we could work this out
So many nights we would tear rooms up in this house
We both know
We both know
What is this about
When I look into your eyes
I'm in your heart and you are in mine
And even if I said
I was leaving babe
I couldn't picture
No more you and me
See I ain't perfect babe
And you ain't perfect baby
So listen to the realest thing I could say
Sometimes it's a struggle babe
And it only hurts cause I love you, baby
And for what it's worth
I will struggle babe
Cause I wanna be in your life
I'ma keep trying
Over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
And I don't wanna be alone baby
Cause you are everything I know baby
See you're everything I need
And you're everything I see
And you're everything I feel
And you're everything to me
And I don't wanna be alone, baby
Cause you are everything I know baby
See you're everything I need
And you're everything I see
And you're everything I feel
And you're everything to me
Sometimes it's a struggle, babe
And it only hurts cause I love you baby
And for what it's worth I will struggle babe
Cause I wanna be in your life
I'ma keep trying
Over and over and over again
Over and over and over again

11.Mother

I would never let a tear fall from your eyes
(Oh, no, no, no)
Cause everything you are to me
(Ooooh)
I could never let you hurt inside
You mean so much and I'm so thankful
That your in my life
And I appreciate your love and all your sacrifice
Without you by my side
I never could survive
I wouldn't be the woman standing here
Before your eyes
You taught me strength
And you gave me guidance
Whenever faith was lost
You were there to find it
And all because a mother's love is unconditional
With all my heart and all my soul
I wanna let you know
Said I thank you
And I love you
And I would never ever place
No one above you
Said I thank you
And yes I love you
And I would never ever place
No one above you

And I appreciate your love and all your sacrifice
Without you by my side
I never could survive
I wouldn't be the woman standing here

And all because a mother's love is unconditional
With all my heart and all my soul
I wanna let you know
Said I thank you
And I love you
And I would never ever place
No one above you
Said I thank you
And yes I love you
And I would never ever place

I used to look into your eyes and think
That you were the one that was meant for me
Everything that you would say i believed it
You munipulated me did it so creatively
Slowly took away from me most of my integrity
Used to say that i could be
Everything and all you need
Started doing little things back then i couldnt see
But now that the rain is gone yes im still here
And I see you for who you are
And youre not far from the devil babe
So I pack my heart and run away
So far away
Yes Im still here
And I see you for who you are
And youre not far from the devil babe
So I pack my heart and run away
So far away
Yes Im still here
They use to tell me i was nothing and couldnt make it there
And so i made and they hated cuz im staying here
I put my trust into my faith everyday
With all the blood and sweat and tears
All the passion all the years
No more crying no more fear
Used to cry myself to sleep thinking it could never be
Then I pick myself up and stood on my two feet
And now that the rain is gone yes im still here
And I see you for who you are
And youre not far from the devil babe
So I pack my heart and run away
So far away
Yeah
