Her People, Our Pain (1970s Soul Version)

But I still believe in you You and me, we built this life from trials, tears, and sacrifice. But every time we find our peace, your family pulls it off its leash. I see the hurt you try to hide when their whispers eat you up inside. And I ain't trying to make you choose, but baby girl, we're starting to Tearing through a love we try to sustain I never meant to bring you shame But girl these storms still call my name I'm holding on for you But I need you hold me too They ain't the ones who see us cry It's me and you just trying to survive They speak in shadows, doubt my name But I've stayed true through every flame Swallow pride a thousand times To keep you safe between the lines But love should lift not tear apart And I've been breaking in my heart I ain't against the ones you love But I need a room to rise above Her people are pain-rating the ones who sleep in fear it's me are you still holding me can't keep pretending like we're fine when the lines cross over mine but I'm still yours and I still sleep all pain just to never promise we made but love like this don't fade and fade and us.
