Tyrant Destroyed

[Verse 1]

I know you spent some time from the town to the city

Looking for a life to start

And when you were fifteen, I know what you said

"I'll never let another black boy break my heart"

[Verse 2]

You waited a decade for me to come find you

There's never been a chance so rare

I was just stumbling out on a prosthetic love

And there had never been someone so real

[Chorus]

This was love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands

Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands

[Verse 3]

As if it wasn't enough just to hear you speak

They had to give you lips like that

Like all of your sadness reduced to a color

Then painted upon you, how could I forget you?

[Verse 4]

And who was I to think that on a Saturday night

That you would really bike home alone?

And the way that I left you just hanging on Sundays

Any fair-skin boy could take you home

[Chorus]

This was love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands

Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands

Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands

Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer

As you sat sinking in my hands
