the idea of us
Title: “The Idea of Us” (Intro – spoken, soft) Yeah… Twelve years later… Still echoes… (Verse 1) You left me in the rubble, house quiet, heart loud Seven little shadows asking “Mama, how?” Lost myself tryna keep the lights on Cancer in my body but I still stayed strong ODD storms, ADHD waves Mama in the trenches, no cape, just brave Lost the home, lost sleep, lost weight But I never lost fight, I just learned my faith You ain’t see the nights I cried on the floor Prayin’ to a God I ain’t sure of no more Rebuilt from ashes, bricks by hand While you was somewhere tryna find yourself, man (Where you at?) When the chemo took my hair and my pride (Where you at?) When the babies needed daddy at night (Hook – melodic, emotional) I don’t miss the chaos, I don’t miss the pain (nah) I miss growin’ old in the same last name (yeah) Miss the porch light talks, miss the wedding band (mm)Miss our kids sayin’, “That’s my mom and dad” I miss the idea… the idea of us (us) The gray hair days and the growin’ up (yeah) I miss companionship, someone ridin’ through But the dream ain’t real if it ain’t with you (Verse 2) I beat cancer, beat odds, beat doubt Beat every voice that said I’d tap out Lost my mind then I found my crown Lost a husband but I found my ground I was drowning, you was driftin’ away I was buildin’ while you couldn’t stay And it still hit different, can’t lie Sometimes I wonder why wasn’t I worth the try? (Not enough?) Or you just couldn’t stand the weight? (Facts) ‘Cause a real man don’t fold on fate I ain’t bitter, I’m just bruised and grown Learned how to sit on my own damn throne But some nights still whisper low… “I wish we made it, though…” (Hook – stronger, layered vocals) I don’t miss the chaos, I don’t miss the pain (nah) I miss growin’ old in the same last name (yeah) Miss the porch light talks, miss the wedding band (mm) Miss our kids sayin’, “That’s my mom and dad” I miss the idea… the idea of us (us) The fairytale dust and the lifelong trust (yeah) I miss companionship, someone ridin’ through But I ain’t beggin’ for a man who withdrew (Bridge – soft but powerful) I survived without you (facts) I rebuilt without you (facts) Got a home, got breath, got fight (yeah) I don’t need you… but I miss that life There’s a difference Between need and ache Between real love And a dream that breaks (Final Hook – triumphant tone) I don’t miss the chaos, I don’t miss the pain I miss what we promised in sunshine and rain But I’m still here, I’m still standin’ tall If you couldn’t stay… I survived it all (Yeah) (I survived it all) (Bossed up) (Still here)
