Verse 1 (Common)
She rested her head upon my chest
Since liberation in between breaths
Wonder if sex is what she found it in
Peace, found it layin down with men
Wasn't there to judge her,in many ways I loved her
It was more than bodies we shared with each other
We laid under the cover of friends
A place where many lovers begin
I began, to feel her body shake in my hand
Body language, it's so hard tryin to understand
Usually after sex, it's a good feel
Took by silence, emotions stood still
You could feel her tears spill, from her grill
Hurt from before that beginning to build
She told me hold me, stories she assemblin
Tellin it, tryin not to remember it
It was a story of innocence taken
Thought she could redeem, through love makin
When she was 8 she was raped by her father
And tried to escape through multiple sex partners
Felt pitiful she had only learned
To love through the physical, inside it burned
A hard t?, I thought of what this man did
She forgave him, she grew to understand it
Her soul was tied and never really rested
Only knew men through aggression
Said it was a blessin and it happened for a reason by speakin it
She found freedom
Between me and you, between me and you, (repeat)

Chorus (Cee-Lo)
Sometimes I wish I, ?
S? her, without speaking a word
Because of you I'm stronger, I'm afraid of no longer
I feel so ?, you helped liberate me, me, me (repeat)

Verse 2 (Common)
As she laid I watched her breathe
Happy to be here, not affraid to leave
I couldn't concieve her not being here
Death in her face, her not having fear
Less than a year she was diagnosed with it
Memories of that year, so close and vivid
Happiness would only visit, once in a while
To watch an adult, becomin a child
Somehow, I knew she'd make it
The life of one, so early would God take it?
Heard she placed it hope and care
Heard she placed in chemo and lost hair
I stared with my eyes closed
I wondered when the body leaves does the mind go
Watchin Jordan became less important
Seein this disease eat away my aunt's organs
Accordin to doctor's there is no cure
We went through doubt, and cases of insure
Wish I knew then how to heal with herbs
Knew a part of her I could heal with words
But the creator was ?ful
What seemed like the end was the beginning for her
Like that, she didn't want us to remember her
No more medication did she want us to give to her
It spread from her liver to her lungs to her last breath
Only to be freed through death, between me and you, (repeat)

Chorus (Cee-Lo)

Verse 3 (Common)
He spoke with his eyes tear filled
A lump in his throat as fear build
My whole life it was instilled
This ain't the way that men feel
A feelin he said he wish he could kill
A feelin not even time could heal
This is how real life's supposed to be?
For it to happen to someone close to me?
So far we've come, for him to tell me
As he did, insecurity held me
I felt like he failed me
'Till his spirit yelled help me
I've known him for like what seemed forever
About goin pro we dreamed together
Never knew it would turn out like this
For so long he tried to fight this
Now there was no way for him to ignore it
His parents found out, and hated him for it
How could I judge him?
Had to accept him if I truely loved him
No longer he said had he hated himself
Through sexuality he liberated himself
Between me and you, between me and you (repeat)

Chorus (Cee-Lo)

(Through emotion)
(Peace)
