[Intro]
Yeah, story of a heart that couldn't stay apart
A love so true, broke through the dark
[Verse 1]
Met him in the dawn, a red dirt trail, shining
Heart skipped a beat, saw my soul aligning
Parents in the kitchen, whispering, eyes sighing
They didn't understand, love like ours, denying
[Pre-Chorus]
But I knew from the start, he was my piece of the sky
A different hue, but love, it only amplifies
They said no, closed the door, and I cried
But my love for him, no one can deny
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I could stay, teach love every single day
In a world that pushes away
First black man, my ride or die, no lie
Heart died that day, but love won't say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Years have flown by, memories remain vivid
Every laugh, every touch, so timid, yet so vivid
Parents’ words echo, still living in my mind
But love's a fight, I refuse to leave behind
[Pre-Chorus]
He taught me how to love, to open up, to feel
Every moment real, meant to heal
Though they didn't see, love is the real deal
And I’d still stay if I could, I’d seal
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I could stay, teach love every single day
In a world that pushes away
First black man, my ride or die, no lie
Heart died that day, but love won't say goodbye
[Bridge]
Maybe someday they’ll see, love’s just love, pure and free
Until then, you and me, writing history, you and me
No more hiding in the shadows, no more tears, no more sorrow
We’ll love through every tomorrow
[Outro]
So here’s my story, raw and true, with you
A love so deep, so blue, breaking through
Heart might have died, but love will renew
Forever friends, me and you
