[Verse 1: Kehlani]
Askin' for space, I'd give my leg for it
I've reached a point, it's like I beg for it
I give my sweat and tears, damn, I bled for it
No one would bet that you would lose me like that
No one would guess I had the strength to fall back
[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani]
Now all I want is peace and quiet
For peace of mind, yeah
Peace and time, yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Kehlani]
While I'm grievin' uh, oh
Grievin' us
I'm still grievin' uh, oh
Grievin' us
[Post-Chorus: Kehlani]
The option was to stay and ride
Or to let it die
I picked a side, now I'm just grievin' uh, oh
Grievin' us
[Verse 2: Kehlani]
You just can't slow it down, drink too much, can't pour it out
It's a merry-go-round from sun-up to sundown
You want me to stay here, mother all your sons now
This shit ain't no fun now, I just think it's funny how
Funny how you made me feel that
Turn around and made me feel bad
Name a bitch patient like that
Name a bitch to cater like that
[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani]
Now all I want is peace and quiet
For peace of mind, yeah
Peace and time, yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Kehlani]
While I'm grievin' uh, oh
Grievin' us
I'm still grievin' uh, oh
Grievin' us
[Bridge: James Blake]
Well, I can understand how you
Would be attracted to me
Me, an ashtray for your habits
You, a moon to my sea
Well, me, the juice to your squeeze
And you a stone I would keep
In the best room of the palace
And pretend it could weep
No one has ever given so many chances as I have (No one has ever)
No one was ever given as many chances as I have
[Chorus: Kehlani & James Blake]
Well, I'm grievin' uh, oh
Grievin' us
I'm still grievin' uh, oh
Grievin' us
I'm grievin' uh, oh
(Grievin' us)
I'm still grievin' uh, oh
Grievin' us
Askin' for space, I'd give my leg for it
I've reached a point, it's like I beg for it
I give my sweat and tears, damn, I bled for it
No one would bet that you would lose me like that
No one would guess I had the strength to fall back
[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani]
Now all I want is peace and quiet
For peace of mind, yeah
Peace and time, yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Kehlani]
While I'm grievin' uh, oh
Grievin' us
I'm still grievin' uh, oh
Grievin' us
