Iya

(Verse 1)

Her name is Iya, so sweet, so pure,

But there’s a distance that I can’t endure,

I wanna hold her close, let her know I’m here,

But somehow, my love never feels sincere.

She deserves the stars, the moon, the sky,

But I’m too broken, can’t even try,

Still she gives everything, without a doubt,

Even the world, she’s what love’s about.

(Chorus)

I can’t show her the love she deserves,

But she’d give me everything, more than I deserve,

Her heart is a treasure, so deep, so wide,

Even the world, she’d give me inside.

Iya, Iya, you’re all that I need,

Even if I can’t give you what you believe.

(Verse 2)

She’s always there, through every storm,

Her love is warm, it’s where I’m reborn,

But I fall short, words slip through my hands,

Trying to make her understand.

She deserves the sun, the ocean, the light,

But all I offer are endless nights,

Still, she holds me up when I can’t stand,

She’d give me everything, a love so grand.

(Chorus)

I can’t show her the love she deserves,

But she’d give me everything, more than I deserve,

Her heart is a treasure, so deep, so wide,

Even the world, she’d give me inside.

Iya, Iya, you’re all that I need,

Even if I can’t give you what you believe.

(Bridge)

I wish I could show you, I wish I could say,

That I’m here for you, in every way,

But you deserve more, you deserve the best,

And I’ll keep trying to give you the rest.

(Chorus)

I can’t show her the love she deserves,

But she’d give me everything, more than I deserve,

Her heart is a treasure, so deep, so wide,

Even the world, she’d give me inside.

Iya, Iya, you’re all that I need,

Even if I can’t give you what you believe.

(Outro)

Her name is Iya, the love she gives,

I’ll hold on tight, to how she lives,

Even if I can’t show her the way,

I’ll love her always, come what may.
