Shanti’s Tale Songtext
von Jazmine Sullivan

I lost myself before
I fell in love with someone who brought me playfulness and light to my life
At a time when I felt the complete opposite
I felt a weight of responsibility, and I was very, very serious
And he was just fine


And as our relationship progressed
I was always in his world
And he wasn′t really interested in mine
He just wanted to enjoy the easy parts of me
And there was no balance

And I started to feel it, I started to feel ashamed, and used
Until I got angry
And I realized he couldn't have access to any parts of me
Until he could accept and love all of me
