Life I Know - India Arie I have kept this secret From myself for far too long
The truth is I'm confused about where I belong I'm not a mother or a wife And I'm living such a complicated life And this is the life I know
My life is full in some of the most important ways the entity in the core at the end of everyday I lock the door turn out the lights
And I climb in bed And it's all alright cuz this is the life I know
I cut the grass take out the trash and fill the gas In this house I am the mom and the dad What tomorrow brings I do not know yes I know it's unconventional But It's the life I know
We all have a secret pain
We all have a tender place
We were born to learn more and no I'm not meant to live alone and this is the life I know
Yes this is the life I know
All my friends are having families of their own I'm still waiting for the perfect one to come almost four decades in if I'm blessed then I've got five more to go And this is the Life I know
Sometime it hurts like hell but I walk away with a song and a story to tell and this is the life I know
Yes this is the life I know
And this is the Life I know
