I Swore - Denai Moore

Will someone tell me why

I can’t tell my heart and mind

From each other

And I swear I’ve lost myself a thousand times

A thousand times,

I swore at my mother

For the first time

And I don’t know what to believe in

We say words without no meaning

To each other

And I swear I’ve lost my way a thousand times

A thousand times

I swore at my father

For the first time

For the first time

For the first time

For the first time

Cut it off before it lingers

And rust the veins beneath my fingers

And I always suffer

And I swear I’ve lost my way a thousand times

A thousand times

I swore at my mother

For the first time

For the first time

For the first time

For the first time

I swore at my father

I swore at my father

I swore at my mother

And I’ve been elsewhere for far too--

I swore at my father

I swore at my father

I swore at my mother

And I’ve been elsewhere for far too--

I swore at my father

I swore at my father

I swore at my mother

And I’ve been elsewhere for far too--

long, long, long, long.

I swore at my father

I swore at my father

I swore at my mother

And I’ve been elsewhere for far too--

I swore at my father

I swore at my father

I swore at my mother

And I’ve been elsewhere for far too long.
