Cee-Lo - Between me, you & liberation lyrics
[First Verse]
 She rested her head upon my chest
 Sensed liberation in between breaths
 Wonder if sex is what she found it in
 Peace, found it laying down with men
 Wasn't there to judge her, many ways I loved her
 It was more than bodies we shared with each other
 We layed under the cover of friends
 A place where many lovers began
 I began, to feel her body shake in my hand
 Body language, it's so hard trying to understand
 Usually after sex, it's a good feel
 Took by silence, emotion stood still
 I could feel, her tears spill, from her grille
 Hurt from before that began to build
 She told me hold me, a story she assembled it
 Tellin' it, trying not to remember it
 It was a story of innocence taken
 Thought she could redeem, through love makin'
 When she was eight 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
 My heart turned, I thought of what this man did
 She forgave him, she grew to understand it
 Her soul was tired and never really rested
 Only with men through aggression
 Said it was a blessing and it happened for a reason
 By speaking it, she found freedom
 Between me and you (echo)
 [Chorus - Cee-Lo]
 Sometimes I wish a, careless whisper
 Serenade her, without speaking a word
 Because of you I'm stronger, I'm afraid no longer
 I feel so alive in me, you have liberated me
 [Second Verse]
 She laid, I watched her breathe
 Happy to be here, not afraid 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, becoming a child
 Somehow, I knew she'd make it
 The life of one so given early would God take it?Cee-Lo - Between me, you & liberation - http://motolyrics.com/cee-lo/between-me-you-and-liberation-lyrics.html
 Hurt she placed in, hope and prayer
 Hurt she placed in chemo and lost hair
 I stare with my eyes closed
 Wonder when the body leave does the mind go
 Watchin' Jordan became less important
 Seeing this disease eat away my aunt's organs
 According to doctors theres 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 (?) was (?)
 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 (echo)
[Chorus]
 [Third Verse]
 He spoke with his eyes, tear-filled
 A lump in his throat, his fear built
 My whole life it was in steel
 This ain't the way that men feel
 A feeling, he said he wish he could kill
 A feeling, 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'd come, for him to tell me
 As he did, insecurity held me
 I felt like he failed me
 To the spirit, yelled help me
 I'd known him for like what seemed forever
 About going 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 truly loved him
 No longer he said had he hated himself
 Through sexuality he liberated himself
 Between me and you (echo)
[Chorus]
 Liberation...
 Peace
