Lyrics Formwela 10 - Esperanza Spalding

I saw what I wanted and took it for me
With all the strings attached, like they′re supposed to be
I didn't know how deep some feelings can go
And you can really do some damage down there
In the soul of another
I wanted and got it opened up to me
So fast I didn′t to learn
The dance how to treat
These beings that walk and talk, and breathe
And you can really do some damage down here
In the role of a lover
Nobody watching over to make sure we don't waste
Love cupped right to our face
Can you see it?
When you taste it, can you be it?
I met a angel on Earth but didn't know it
Now see the root of my curse that let me throw it away
With all this love in my heart, I couldn′t show it
Touching the sting of my shame, no need to grow it now
Maybe I′ll find one again someday when I learn to love
For real angel
May you find one, too
It's not to absolve responsibility
And there′s no going back
The scars are plain to see
I know well
I put you through a living hell
This is a way to make the damages clear
So I don't do another
That way
Nobody watching over to make sure we don′t waste
Love cupped right to our face
Can you see it?
When you taste it, can you be it?
I met a angel on Earth but didn't know it
Now see the root of my curse that let me throw it away
With all this love in my heart, I couldn′t show it
Touching the sting of my shame, no need to grow it now
Maybe I'll find one again someday when I learn to love
For real angel
May you find yours, too
