lyrics
I could only wish someone told me about the way I go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth
Back to the way I was comfortable, true, but destructible
Losin myself in everything that has to do with nothin
I could be the one to live it up, give it up
Everything I believe in
But I keep runnin', runnin', runnin'
That's the labor of love
runnin', runnin', runnin'
That's the labor of love
And I am everything I need
(Didn't lose sight what constitutes a good life)
I know all that I can be
I'll write myself a letter
To tell me that I'm beautiful
Listen to the words of India.Arie
Feel the beating of my heart when I start thinkin' of all the things I could be doin
Goin through the consequence of wakin' up and feelin
Maybe the world's got the wrong idea
of what I wanna be
Cuz I'd rather be writin' a song about how I wanna family
Runnin, runnin, runnin,
that's the labor of love
Runnin, runnin, runnin,
that's the labor of love
Never had a dream, just things I believed in
Me, myself, and I could be the reason
For clearin' all the demons inside
And I am everything I need
I know all that I can be
I'll write myself a letter
To tell me that I'm beautiful
Listen to the words of India.Arie
Feel the beating of my heart when I start thinkin' of all the things I could be doin
Goin through the consequence of wakin' up and feelin
Maybe the world's got the wrong idea
of what I wanna be
Cuz I'd rather be writin' a song about how I wanna family
I'll fall back down for love
I'll fall back down
I'll fall back down for love
I'll fall back down
I'll write myself a letter
To tell me that I'm beautiful
Listen to the words of India.Arie
Feel the speed of my heart whenever I start somethin' someone told me what I should be doin'
Goin through the consequence of wakin' up and feelin
Maybe the world's got the wrong idea
of what I wanna be
Cuz I'd rather be writin' a song about how I wanna family
Runnin, runnin, runnin,
that's the labor of love
Runnin, runnin, runnin,
that's the labor of love
