Love Drought & Sandcastles (Live from the 2017 Grammy’s Awards)
Pt. 1 Love Drought
[Intro: Lemonade Speech]
Do you remember being born?
Are you thankful for the hips that cracked, the deep velvet of your mother
And her mother and her mother?
You look nothing like your mother,
You look everything like your mother.
You desperately want to look like her.
How to wear your mother's lipstick
You must wear it like she wears disappointment on her face.
Your mother is a woman,
And women like her can not be contained.
I think of lovers as trees
Growing to and from one another,
Searching for the same light.
Why are you afraid of love?
I think it's not possible for someone like you.
But you are the love of my life (the love of my life)
[Verse]
Ten times out of nine, I know you‘re lying
But nine times out of ten, I know you're trying
So I'm trying to be fair
And you're trying to be there and to care
And you're caught up in your permanent emotions
All the loving I've been giving goes unnoticed
It's just floating in the air, lookie there
Are you aware you're my lifeline, are you tryna kill me?
If I wasn't me, would you still feel me?
Like on my worst day? Or am I not thirsty, enough?
I don't care about the lights or the beams
Spend my life in the dark for the sake of you and me
Only way to go is up, skin thick, too tough
[Chorus]
Cause you, you, you, you and me could move a mountain
You, you, you, you and me could calm a war down
You, you, you, you and me could make it rain now (make it rain now)
You, you, you, you and me could stop this love drought
Pt. 2 Sandcastles
[Intro: Lemonade Speech]
If we're gonna heal
We gonna start again,
You are the magician pulling me back together again,
The way you cut me in half.
Make the woman in doubt disappear.
Her heaven would be a love without betrayal.
You look nothing like your mother,
You look everything like your mother.
[Verse]
We built sandcastles that washed away
I made you cry when I walked away
And although I promised that I couldn't stay, baby
Every promise don't work out that way
And your heart is broken 'cause I walked away
Show me your scars and I won't walk away
And I know I promised that I couldn't stay, baby
Every promise don't work out that way, no no no no no
Every promise don't work out that way
[Outro]
There is a curse,
That will be broken.
One thousand girls raise their arms.
Now that reconciliation is possible,
If we gonna heal,
Let it be glorious.
