Simphiwe Dana - Masterpiece Lyrics

You were the centrefold
In my existence
I forgot myself
In you my darling
I wanted to be better for you
In any way possible
I could never be the same
Be the same

You know my heart
Is yours to have
You were the masterpiece
I am not what you need
So I sing this song for you

You are the centrifuge
For my emotions
I lost myself
So deeply in you, baby, baby
I forgot how to live for me
I forgot how to live for me
For my emotions
I've died many times
For a glimpse of sanity
Caught up in the memory

Memory of no love
No memory of no love
Memory of something bad
Happening to us
Caught up in the memory
I don't wanna hurt you anymore
And the centre will not hold

I forgot how to live for me
I forgot how to live for me
Confronted with ghosts of our past
Centre couldn't hold

And I don't wanna hurt you
I'll do if I stay
Hurting you wasn't my intention
That's why I have to go

I forgot how to live for me
I forgot how to live for me
Bye, baby (This is goodbye)
Bye-bye, bye-bye, baby
Bye-bye, baby
Don't wanna hurt you anymore
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye, baby
Bye-bye
Don't wanna hurt you anymore
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye
Bye bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, baby
I have to go
Bye-bye, bye-bye, baby
