Ain't No Love In the Heart of the City - Bobby "Blue" Bland

What you don't know cannot kill you What you don't know cannot kill you Uh-uh, bet you wanted it easy, but you don't know me Hands down, I had to woman-up for this Lay down for the body, but the mind don't sleep Trade love for blood, but I'm not sorry about this It's not good a story if it has no twist One queen, one king, who did I miss? Happy ending, violin, kiss Four eyes, two hearts, silence is bliss You gotta learn the lesson, nothing is what it seems If you're reading this it means I'm gone, my dear If I only could, I would dry your tears And whisper in your ear (quiet, quiet) But I love you, that's why I keep it quiet Shh, shh, shh What you don't know cannot kill you What you don't know cannot kill you Believe me, all I want is to save you from myself 'Cause I've been quiet way too long One, two, three, common, classic dreams Got a stone, rough skin but a mind can be Like a front-row seat to the ending scene And it's all coming back, all running back Feeling like a blast from the past, piece in the dress Heavy like a stone in the hand, so armed, keep it down, keep it down Choose life or pick a gun, pick a gun Fight the fight for the one, be the one You gotta learn the lesson, nothing is what it seems If you're reading this, it means I'm gone, my dear If I only could, I would dry your tears And whisper in your ear What you don't know cannot kill you What you don't know cannot kill you Believe me, all I want is to save you from myself 'Cause I've been quiet too long What you don't know cannot kill you What you don't know cannot kill you Believe me, all I want is to save you from myself 'Cause I've been quiet way too long 'Cause I've been too

I opened my eyes last night And saw you in the low light Walking down by the bay On the shore Staring up at the stars That aren't there anymore I was feeling the night grow old And you were looking so cold Like an introvert I drew my over-shirt Around my arms and began To shiver violently before You happened to look And see the tunnels all around me Running into the dark Underground All the subways around Create a great sound To my motion fatigue Farewell With your ear to a seashell You can hear the waves In underwater caves As if you actually were inside a saltwater room Time together isn't ever quite enough When you and I are alone I've never felt so at home What will it take to make or break this hint of love? Only time, only time Can you believe that the crew has gone And they wouldn't let me sign on? All my islands have sunk in the deep And I can hardly relax Or even oversleep But I feel warm with your hand in mine When we walk along the shoreline I guess we'll never know Why sparrows love the snow We'll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow (So tell me darling do you wish we'd fall in love?) (Yeah all the time) (All the time) Time together isn't ever quite enough When you and I are alone I've never felt so at home What will it take to make or break this hint of love? Only time, only time When we're apart whatever are you thinking of? If this is what I call home why does it feel so alone? So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love? All the time, all the time Time together isn't ever quite enough When we're apart whatever are you thinking of? What will it take to make or break this hint of love? So tell me darling do you wish we'd fall in love? All the time Oh, all the time

Menurutmu berapa lama lagi kau kan mencintaiku? Menurutmu apa yang bisa terjadi dalam sewindu Bukan apa hanya bersiap tak ada yang tahu Aku takut Tak pernah ada yang lama menungguku sejak dulu Yang terjadi sebelumnya semua orang takut padaku Memang tidak mudah mencintai diri ini Namun aku berjanji akan mereda seperti semestinya Menurutmu apa benar saat ini kau masih mencintaiku? Menurutmu apa yang bisa dicinta dari diriku? Bukan apa hanya bersiap tak ada yang tahu Aku takut Tak pernah ada yang lama menungguku sejak dulu Yang terjadi sebelumnya semua orang takut padaku Panggil aku perempuan gila Hantu berkepala keji membunuh kasihnya Penuh ganggu di dalam jiwanya Sambil penuh cinta diam-diam berusaha Selalu tahu akan ditinggalkan Namun demi Tuhan Aku berusaha Memang tidak mudah mencintai diri ini Namun aku berjanji akan mereda seperti semestinya Memang tidak mudah mencintai diri ini Namun aku berjanji akan mereda seperti semestinya

Say you're there when I feel helpless If that's true, why don't you help me? It's my fault, I know I'm selfish Stand alone, my soul is jealous It wants love, but I reject it Trade my joy for my protection Grab my hand, I'm drowning I feel my heart pounding Why haven't you found me yet? I hold you so proudly Traumas, they surround me I wish you'd just love me back Say you're here, but I don't feel it Give me peace, but then you steal it Watch them laugh at all my secrets Scream and yell, but I feel speechless Ask for help, you call it weakness Lied and promised me my freedom Grab my hand, I'm drowning I feel my heart pounding Why haven't you found me yet? I hold you so proudly Traumas, they surround me I wish you'd just love me back Grab my hand, I'm drowning I feel my heart pounding Why haven't you found me yet?

I've been so busy, ignoring, and hiding About what my heart actually say Stay awake while I'm drowning on my thoughts Sometimes a happiness is just a happiness I've never been enjoyin' my serenity Even if I've got a lot of company That makes me happy Soul try to figure it out From where I've been escapin' Running to end all the sin Get away from the pressure Wondering to get a love that is so pure Gotta have to always make sure That I'm not just somebody's pleasure I always pretending and lying Like I'm used to feel empty 'Cause all I got is unhappy Happiness, can't I get happiness? I've never been enjoyin' my serenity Even if I've got a lot of company That makes me happy Soul try to figure it out From where I've been escapin' Running to end all the sin Get away from the pressure Wondering to get a love that is so pure Gotta have to always make sure That I'm not just somebody's pleasure, oh-ho-oo It was in a blink of an eye Find a way how to say goodbye I've got to take me away From all sadness Stitch all my wounds, confess all the sins And took all my insecure When will I got the love that is so pure?
