Erivo, Cynthia - Love You For Free Lyrics

When you wake up too soon
'Cause slivers of the moon
Got under your skin
And walls are closing in
'Cause down in the city
Only God knows you're alone

When there comes a time
When you are not mine
And I'm not yours
And hope itself ignores you
When the sigh you breathe
Is all that's yours to own

You are so ugly
You fit in my head
Like a bird in a cup
Now when you grow up
Remember my face
Like a promise of grace
In this world, my child
You have a place

When God swings overhead
Like a body from a tree
Remember what I said
Don't break the thread
Just flow down the river
That splits into you and me

You are so ugly
You fit in my head
Like a bird in a cup
Now when you grow up
Remember my face
Like a promise of grace
In this world, my child
You have a place

Hush, it's just me
I'm one of the few
Who's gonna love you for free
Won't you take it from me?
Just one of the few
Who's gonna love you for free
Who's gonna love you for free

When all that you need
Is more than you can stand
All that you freed
Has laid waste unto the land
Remember she who hates herself
Is not humble

Hush, it's just me
I'm one of the few
Who's gonna love you for free
Won't you take it from me?
I'm one of the few
Who's gonna love you for free
Who's gonna love you for free
