It was summer
When I met you
But she was the one I was chasing
That mid August heat
And the sweet way
That you tasted
Boy three years ago
If I'd only know
How much of my black self I hated
Boy three years ago
If I'd only know
How much of my black self I hated
Let me just apologize
For everything I'm not
Let's just watch the sunrise
Let me just apologize
For everything I'm not
Let's just watch the sunrise
Hold me tight while I
I fade out like the dark
Oh I wonder
Now that I lost you
Lost myself in the hell of a daydream
Those long empty nights
She's so mean
Can you save me?
Boy three years ago
If I'd only know
How much of my black self I hated
Yeah three years ago
If I'd only know
How much of my soul she'd be taking
Let me just apologize
For everything I'm not
Let's just watch the sunrise
Let me just apologize
For everything I'm not
Let's just watch the sunrise
