Ba Hamba

Go on now, I'm tired of crying. You can leave now, I won't stop you. I'm so tired of crying. Many times i've pulled you back in my arms and stopped you from leaving, but now no. Go on now.
If this is love, then it's not real. For every smile i have, two tear drops take its place. Enough now baby, I can't take it anymore.
You saw me as your queen; you treat me now as your servant. You talked to me as your equal, your partner; now you ignore me. I was your friend; now I'm just your subordinate. Leave, my love, I cannot take anymore.
As I watch you walk away, proud and never looking back, my heart breaks. But I will not cry. For I know no man is worth my tears, and the one who is will never make me cry.

  1. I was listening to Hamba by Lira which was the inspiration for this. Hamba is (I think) Zulu for leave.
