88 Boxes Lyrics by Ledisi

The Truth

2014

[Verse 1]
I was trying to pretend that the end wasn't coming
Prolonging the inevitable
In love with what used to be
You loved yourself much more, much more than me
Did you really love me, did you love me?
Even with the tears rolling down my face
I knew I had to leave this space
From room to room, I packed my things
Every day you passed me by
Maybe you could make me change my mind
Maybe ask me to stay
Did you love me? Did you love me?

[Chorus]
88 boxes I counted
My life, it went from years to 88 boxes
After everything, that's all I have
My life, it went from years to 88 boxes
88 boxes I counted

[Verse 2]
I can't escape memories
Things that you gave me
Packing up pictures, old love letters
This self-love is hard
I gotta be a woman, be a woman
This is so hard
I think you were afraid, but I wish you said something
If you said that I love you I would've turned around and stayed
But you said nothing, nothing
You said nothing
Did you really love me? Oh, hey

[Chorus]
88 boxes I counted
My life, it went from years to 88 boxes
After everything, that's all I have
My life, it went from years to 88 boxes
88 boxes I counted

[Bridge]
Did you really love me?
Did you love me?
I thought we'd be together forever
Why? Put up with this for so long, so long
I couldn't stay, had to go
Couldn't stay, couldn't stay, couldn't stay
Had to let you go, oh-oh

[Chorus]
88 boxes I counted
My life, it went from years to 88 boxes
After everything, that's all I have
My life, it went from years to 88 boxes
88 boxes I counted
