Alicia Keys- As I Am; Songs in A Minor: 24 Songs


I will forever love Alicia Keys' music, as well as her poetry. Years I read her poetry book, Tears of Water. Her lyrics and poetry are so profound and have such a substantial message. Her songs are about love and female empowerment, not just some silly pop songs. Alicia Keys' music will definitely continue to stay on the iPod. There was one song, however, that, I'm sorry to say, made me think of Felix. Its about feelings I've felt about him. Funny how songs can sometimes get your feelings out better than you can.


"Goodbye"
Mhmn bye bye

How do you love someone

That hurts you oh so bad

With intentions good

Was all he ever had

But how do I let go when I've

Loved him for so long and I've

Given him all that I could

Maybe love is a hopeless crime

Giving up what seems your lifetime

What went wrong with something once so good

How do you find the words to say

To say goodbye (find the words to say good bye)

When your heart don't have the heart to say

To say goodbye (find the words to say good bye)

I know now I was naive

Never knew where this would lead

And I'm not trying to take away

From the good man that he is

But how do I let go when I've

Loved him for so long and I've

Given him all that I could

Was it something wrong that we did

Because others infiltrated

What went wrong with something once so good
How do you find the words to say

To say goodbye (find the words to say good bye)

When your heart don't have the heart to say

To say goodbye (find the words to say good bye)
Is this the end (end)are you sure (are you sure)

How should you know when you've never been here before

It's so hard (hard)to just let go (just let go)
When this is the one and only love I've ever known

So, how do you find the words to say ( when it's been so long )

To say goodbye (find the words to say good bye)(to say good bye)

When your heart don't have the heart to say (mmmmmmmm yeah ohhhh yeah)

To say goodbye (find the words to say good bye)
