Love Drought & Sandcastles (Live from the 2017 Grammy's Awards)

Pt. 1 Love Drought

[Intro: Lemonade Speech]

Do you remember being born?

Are you thankful for the hips that cracked, the deep velvet of your mother

And her mother and her mother?

You look nothing like your mother,

You look everything like your mother.

You desperately want to look like her.

How to wear your mother's lipstick

You must wear it like she wears disappointment on her face.

Your mother is a woman,

And women like her can not be contained.

I think of lovers as trees

Growing to and from one another,

Searching for the same light.

Why are you afraid of love?

I think it's not possible for someone like you.

But you are the love of my life (the love of my life)

[Verse]

Ten times out of nine, I know you‘re lying

But nine times out of ten, I know you're trying

So I'm trying to be fair

And you're trying to be there and to care

And you're caught up in your permanent emotions

All the loving I've been giving goes unnoticed

It's just floating in the air, lookie there

Are you aware you're my lifeline, are you tryna kill me?

If I wasn't me, would you still feel me?

Like on my worst day? Or am I not thirsty, enough?

I don't care about the lights or the beams

Spend my life in the dark for the sake of you and me

Only way to go is up, skin thick, too tough

[Chorus]

Cause you, you, you, you and me could move a mountain

You, you, you, you and me could calm a war down

You, you, you, you and me could make it rain now (make it rain now)

You, you, you, you and me could stop this love drought

Pt. 2 Sandcastles

[Intro: Lemonade Speech]

If we're gonna heal

We gonna start again,

You are the magician pulling me back together again,

The way you cut me in half.

Make the woman in doubt disappear.

Her heaven would be a love without betrayal.

You look nothing like your mother,

You look everything like your mother.

[Verse]

We built sandcastles that washed away

I made you cry when I walked away

And although I promised that I couldn't stay, baby

Every promise don't work out that way

And your heart is broken 'cause I walked away

Show me your scars and I won't walk away

And I know I promised that I couldn't stay, baby

Every promise don't work out that way, no no no no no

Every promise don't work out that way

[Outro]

There is a curse,

That will be broken.

One thousand girls raise their arms.

Now that reconciliation is possible,

If we gonna heal,

Let it be glorious.
