Ooh, oh, ooh
We're at a standstill
The whole world goes tranquil
But our love is torrential
What we have is really strong
But something's always wrong
Initially, we both could trust it (hey)
Eventually, we both lost it (hey)
And now, my heart is so exhausted (hey)
There's nothing more to say
It's time for me to focus on me
Pour some wine, let me play some Brandy and India Arie
It hurts so much to let go
Of something so beautiful
Something that made us feel happy
Feel free sometimes, yeah
There's gotta be something waiting for me
Please, make it plain
'Cause I deserve something nourishing me
Like lilacs in the rain
Hey-hey
We both said it was over (it was over)
But then we keep on starting over (starting over)
It's like we never learn (never learn)
If we were really meant to be
Wouldn't it be easy?
Wouldn't we still be laughing
At the little things that happen?
Even though we shared some magic
In reality, we can't seem to change the plans, oh
It's never been in our hands
But we can't accept the facts
It hurts so much to let go (oh-oh)
Of something so beautiful (oh-oh)
Something that made us feel happy
So free sometimes
There's gotta be something waiting for me
Please, make it plain
'Cause I deserve something nourishing me
Like lilacs in the rain, yeah
There's gotta be something waiting for me
Please, make it plain
'Cause I deserve something nourishing me
Like lilacs in the rain, oh-oh
Lilacs
