SMILIN 2 THE SUN Lyrics

Sunflower

Sunflower

Trapped in a body that don't feel like mine

Tryna break free, but I'm stuck in a bind

I wish someone told me it takes courage to love

I wouldn't have forgot myself, get stuck in the mud

Men seem to hate my very presence on this earth

Not your average woman, so they treat me like a curse

Little girl, taught herself that she don't need a nigga

So I focused on myself, and became a heavy hitta

But the heavy hittin took a quitin when he held me in his arms

Laid in a field of love, I loved the way he kissed my scars

Made me feel like a woman, no one else would

Gave all of me to him like I thought a woman should

Like Hollywood, love don't last forever, feel him drifting away

Crying out to him, but our picture of love fadin to grey

Skin away my skin as if my skin were the skin of a deer

Gazing in the mirror, but reflection is now unclear

Home

Home

Home

Home

Where is the old me

The little girl who was happy

I'm smilin, I'm

Smilin to the sun

Like a sunflower

But these shadows, they seem to overpower

Can I fly higher

Flew myself out for my birthday on a solo date

On the beach praying to the sea to disintegrate

The demons cast away the demons wishing him by my side

Gotta find that little girl who was so preoccupied

With tryna fly higher

Cause she was always in dire

Need to succeed and burn brighter

She always a fighter

But needa face my reality

Child dwellin in me

May never find the key

So it's time to plant a new tree

Making a sunflower bath

The flowers have a special path

Followin the sun to catch

Her ray flower wanna match

Keep on shinin

Keep on shinin

Keep on shinin

Keep on shinin

Little girl is dead but it's time to keep on fightin

Where is the old me

The little girl who was happy

I'm smilin, I'm

Smilin to the sun

Like a sunflower

But these shadows, they seem to overpower

Can I fly higher

Little girl

Keep smilin to the sun

Love shattered you

But your story ain't done

I try to, keep beamin

To the sunbeam

Like a sunflower

May your life

Be sweet as hon

Honey

Sunflower
