BARRICADE FOR HER HEART

Intro

A delicate flower I want to pluck, not sure what my intentions are but I want to, anyway.

Are they genuine? Not sure, but I just want to have my way.

Just want to sniff the fragrance till there's nothing left.

Verse 1

Finding a genuine one? Price of a bird.

Heartbreaks from Deon, James, promise I won't be your third

She said, "Kacir, all guys are the same. How can I trust you?"

I said don't worry birdie, I got you.

I know you have doubts, give me the opportunity to shut them down.

Too many questions, and there's only one answer - "I've got you"

I will do right by you, if it's cloud nine, I will put you on the first flight.

What I feel for you isn't no touch and go, it's a constant flow....just like the way the rivers flow into the sea

I will make sure my love flow into you, just see.

Verse 2.

She said;

It's like watching a Kumawood film, she already knows the ending,

She doesn't want to be the pitiful girl to go to bed with a heart ache.

Second chances' request on a side, new requests on the other.

Guys come bearing flowers, red ones she's bored seeing, they now seem like red flags.

This is a path she's never gonna walk again.

Why???

She needs a verse or two to explain.

Verse 3

(Female voice)

I was the one to love carelessly, but now I care less

So many heartbreaks, my heart has been fixed and broken again by the same people -

Will I ever love again? I don't know

Voices whispering sweet poison, I say No

"I am different, I'm not like him", says him - after he sings me hymns of praises, praising my beauty.

Like I haven't heard before.

And every time I know I've lived this moment countless times - so I buildt this barricade for my heart

Musical interlude

Verse 4

This barricade, girl,

Is a symbol of protection for you,

I understand perfectly, but it shouldn't be so

You need to survive and

Prevent the remaining fragments of your heart from breaking further away,

But girl, you need love as you need protection

And trust me when I say

I can provide both.

I too, have been broken but it hasn't broken me down

There is a resurrection spirit that lifts up the broken

And my resurrection spirit is you

So give me not a chance but time to love you slowly

To carry you gently in my arms on this violent waves

And land you safely on the shores of happiness.

It will sound the same, a déjà vu

But believe and hope in my love.

Ohemaa, take down your barricade and see my feet from the ground

I am standing on this broken pieces of glasses left from your past trauma

And bleeding

Just for a chance of love with you.

You can love again, read it in my eyes.

Outro

Love and pain, you can't love and not experience the pain.

Like walking in the rain and trying not to get wet.

She witlessly thought there's a way to swerve the drops of pain, but rendered her attempts in vain.
