Lyrics

Grew up together, we were friends from the start
Music was our best friend, it made us who we are
Playing together in an all-girl band
The earliest lessons at how to be a man
It all came so fast
And I was so young
Learning day by day
About your love that burned
For another girl
At first was hard to accept
Moved to California
Aiming up real high
Changing perceptions
So many ladders to climb
All the hard work you put in
Placed you in the front of the line
Building community, I just wanted to see you shine
But you built a wall
Said I did you wrong
That I took credit from you
After our heart to heart
You said don’t tell your friends
Am I the one who’s confused?
Help me to understand why you choose to ignore me
Success should not define or change your feelings for me or for anyone
When luck and talent congregate, opportunities arise
I’m grateful for the situation that you now victimize
No point in comparisons when were all living life
I heard you were playing New York
I came to see you live
And I didn’t defend myself
I let you voice
Your pain and humiliation
Your girls stared at me while we broke down
Into our strong libations
Help me to understand why you choose to ignore me
Success should not define or change your feelings for me
Help me to understand why you choose to ignore me
Success should not define or change your feelings for me or for anyone
