Lyrics This Way (Say I Love You) [feat. Aniyah Smith] - Mali Music

We can′t all feel like you
That's all I′m trying to say

If tonight is the last night you plan on breathing
If the weight of the world is so heavy on your shoulders
The only place you see to lay down this burden is a grave
If you are so tired of existence
You want to put yourself into an eternal rest
I'm sorry I couldn't make this life more livable for you
I too have known nights on bathroom floors
With blood and tears spilling so quickly
I′m not sure which one I′ll run out of first
Know praying to gods I stopped believing in a long time ago
That if they were real they would help me
Know looking death in the face and inviting him home for dinner
Like a long lost friend I couldn't wait to get reacquainted with
But I′ve also known salvation
Know that if the words of your demons can end your life
Then words of hope can save it
No matter how deep of a hole you've dug yourself into
Even when holding on to life feels like grasping for air
Your lungs can′t even keep inside of them
Reach your hand out for a lifeline
Because I am still standing
After depression has brought me to my knees
After I've asked God more times to end my life
Than I have thanked Him for giving me it
And ain′t that a blessing
To survive
Even when your own body has tried to kill you
And it gets hard sometimes
Because I can't even remember how to be a person
But being a poet isn't always about pretty prose
Some days, it is just about being alive
Most days, it is just about being alive here
In the place where I have seen so many resurrected, I call it holy
This is survival, this is hope, this is life
So tonight, don′t you write me a suicide note
Write me a survivor′s story

God, please stay ready for me
It's a word to the wise if they ready for me
Got the world in my eyes, they look ready to me
All the girls and the guys, they look ready to see

How can I say I love you
How can I say I love you today
How can I say I love you
How can I say I love you this way
Can I say I love you
How can I say I love you today
How can I say I love you
How can I say I love you

Can I say I love you
Can I say I love you today
How can I say I love you
Can I say I love you this way
Say I love you
Say I love you today
Yah, can I say I love you
Can I say I love you this way

Full of
Full of joy
Of joy

God, please stay ready for me
It′s a word to the wise if they ready for me
Got the world in my eyes, they look ready to me
All the girls and the guys, they look ready to see
