Briana Walton - Pocas Palabras (feat. A.S.K.) Lyrics

This one goes out to all my ladies out there who may be struggling to find self-love
Who may be trying to fill that void by giving their love away to people who don't respect it
Who don't appreciate it, don't know how to handle it, step on it, and break it
This goes out to all my ladies who are accepting that physical love, toxic love
But you need love so you accept it type love
This one goes out to you
May you find self-love

'Cause lately I've been running from emotions
Pussy doin' more for me than religion and devotion
Than Nikki, Mary Jane, or Molly ever could
F*ck, I really wish I could

I tried to write it away
(I'm wishin' that I could)
Write to you all things I'd never say
Write something that'd make you stay
(I'm wishin' that I could)
But the words are not enough even when they're coming from my lips
You only want to hear me speak using my fingertips
The cadence of my words matched by the rhythm of my hips

So if you're gonna hurt me, do it in the right ways
If you're gonna break me, do it today
If you're gonna take this love and throw it all away
I'll have that conversation
If it just means you'll stay

So we'll talk
But not with our lips
And we can have that conversation
Ease in with a bottle and some sips
Coat it in perspiration
Until our hearts are doing flips
Let's have the conversation
Just not with our lips

So we dance around the bedroom
Dance around the gloom
Dance around the words we know will send us to our doom
I dance it out with a slow and steady groove
You're still here
I guess you like the way I move
You'd rather a fast and hurried beat
To a song and melody we both know is bittersweet

I know in the past we've both said too much
So tonight let's leave it up to touch
Why express the things we know our bodies can confess
Utterances of the heart cause such a mess

It's not that I'm afraid of showing you my emotions
(I'm wishin' that I could)
And it's not that I'm cold-hearted in the slightest
I've just been hurt so many times that I can't be vulnerable in front of anybody
That's why us men are so quote on quote cold-hearted
It takes a lot out of us
So be patient
