Leon Bridges - Sweeter lyrics

(feat. Terrace Martin) Hoping for a life more sweeter Instead I'm just a story repeating Why do I fear with skin dark as night? Can't feel peace with those judging eyes I thought we moved on from the darker days Did the words of the King disappear in the air Like a bu*terfly? Somebody should hand you a felony Because you stole from me My chance to be Hoping for a life more sweeter Instead I'm just a story repeating Why do I fear with skin dark as night? Can't feel peace with those judging eyes The tears of my Mother rain rain over me My sisters and my brothers sing sing over me And I wish I had another day, but it's just another day Hoping for a life more sweeter Instead I'm just a story repeating Why do I fear with skin dark as night? Can't feel peace with those judging eyes
