I just wanna
My way I just wanna
My oh my
I knew right from the start it was too good to be true
But you fell into my arms like the rain that hits the stoop
Reminiscing on those days I used to scoop you in the coup
Miss all the time we spent together without you I'm blue
I don't know what to do
I sit here all confused
Looking at these photos cause it's all I have of you
I do this on the us
I do this on the usual
I only f**k girls if they beautiful
B***h why you got me stressing
The way that you been acting ill have someone take my seconds
I just want to show you love overflow you with these blessing
Yet you act like its a problem cus my key ain't for a Lexus
I'll still drive to your crib like what's up?
Miss me with that bull s**t I be calling all your bluffs
I'll give you the world but no i'll never be enough
Even after all this s**t you got me feeling stuck
Got me feeling stuck got me feeling out my way b***h
Pulled you out the mud I could of brought you in the spaceship
It's funny how this love could really turn right into hatred
Funny how you wanna be right back up on my waist b***h

Brilliant song! Redemption are one of my favourite bands. The facts that not many people know them makes me extremely sad!
Gianfranco Micoli
I swear that Alder's voice in the choruses, especially in the last one, gives me goosebumps every time!
Sindy Bernal
ray Alder is simply magnificent
Vincent David Underhill
Yes miss Sindy, Alder is one of the good ones!! The lyrics of this song are especially good (in terms of how we all feel losing a loved one) and Ray's singing over the music really makes this a masterpiece.

What an awesome band. I stumbled upon them only because Ray Alder, from Fates Warning did a collaboration with them. What a great gem to find! Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.
Vincent David Underhill
Tracey Ryche White yes Tracey! A beautiful metal album!!
infonator1
I get goosebumps right in the begining of the vocal track and then the build up! Yes, it's very hard to think songs up like this How many bands can really do that! Hit the hammer on the head just about every single time! Not many can! I had put redemption at the top of the list for consistency. But...Fates new album and their new drummer have now upped the ante. I await Redemps new volley!
