Tank - Remember Lyrics

Remember the night
The night you said I love you
Remember
You promised that you'd forget me not
But you forgot to remember

Uh huh, uh huh, yeah (remember)
Heart just like a firecracker
Fireworks and jack o' lanterns
Lit up like a cabins lantern
Like a black activist
In the past way too passive
In the past way too massive
Taking up the space
Hot air balloon somewhere in Kansas
But I don't know what happen
Did I lose the magic?
Helium and hot dogs
Trying to rule my purple planet

But I'm way too up to come down
Too music to not sound
Too lovely, too brown
I, I tried to catch a rainbow in the the sky
But it's so high, so high, so high, so high
Maybe I should fly below
Then again, that's way too low
Tryin' to catch a shooting star
Maybe have to go so far
But there's a ribbon in the sky for our love
That's what Stevie say
Tryin' to get to the place up above
That's where heaven lay

Can I be honest? I'm so self conscious, so self conscious
So, so, so, so very smart, so, so, so, so very modest
Looking in the mirror I figured
I can be honest with the figure staring back at me
The killer that's inside of my biggest dreams
Heart desire bleeding ten toes down
Tears of a sad clown, my heart so broken, my attention

Remember the night
The night you said

My heart desire bleeding ten toes down
Tears of a sad clown, my heart, so broken
My attention in denial
The pieces that aren't beautiful are the pieces that need love now
The healing is so slow, the beating is so beat down
But how else will I grow if the shit only grows down
How do I get there, how do I get out?
I'm a million miles from this place
But hey, I'm getting there
Trying to reach a star out in space
Uh, I'm so unaware
That I'm already who I'm climbing towards
Been who I been aiming for
Pretty, black and dope
Not on dope been traveling abroad
I got my clothes from Mars with a thrift sto' scarf
And thrift sto' heart, with a Hermes bag and Walmart tag
Tryin' to play my jazz, it don't matter where you got it
It ends up in the trash
Used like some shit you ain't never grabbed
Been a beautiful child, been so beautiful

(Remember the night)
(The night you said)
(Remember)
(Remember the promise that you)
(Do you remember?)
(Do you remember?)
