Spent half of my life in denial Was an ongoing trial Already swollen, for better or worse Left in the hands of a jury On the other side oh i would go It's a blessing and a curse I never understood this token on me I never asked to look the way that I do Did all this bullying derive from envy? Was I guilty of it too? I wasn't dark enough to hang with those girls But I wasn't light enough to be red and blue Oooh, stuck in-between me, myself and I Forced to face the truth Spent half of my life in denial Was an ongoing trial Already swollen, for better or worse Left in the hands of a jury On the other side oh i would go It's a blessing and a curse Got old enough to know my beauty Brought me to places I could only imagine And I learnt it all don't come duty-free Never fall on entrapment And as much as I wish it were different, I wouldn't have it any other way 'Cos it taught me how to pay attention What a price to pay Spent half of my life in denial Was an ongoing trial Already swollen, for better or worse Left in the hands of a jury On the other side oh i would go It's a blessing and a curse Spent half of my life in denial It's a blessing and a curse Left in the hands of a jury It's a blessing and a curse
