#getalongwithyou

Happy Blessed Birthday Grammy nominee Kelis Rogers. Born: August 21, 1979

What was wrong with my love? You took my heartbeat from me, was it I loved you poorly? Whatever it was, I just wanna get along with you...

You took my heartbeat from me, this is the saddest story... What was wrong with my love? You took my heartbeat from me, was it I loved you poorly? Whatever it was, I just wanna get along with you. Now I'm forced to roam this planet... Now I'm forced to roam this planet sadly, lonely like some loose cannon...

#Kelis has always had music that tugged at me emotionally. Now that I'm an adult listening to #GetAlongWithYou I'm amazed at her lyricist even more. Wow. Idek if I understand this song completely but certain lines def are relatable in the sense where you want a relationship to work and can list the sacrifices you've made or would make. I don't know why someone like Nas who admittedly cheated on her and has heard her music would be surprised that she'd be heartbroken so deeply by his actions. Idk if she's actually as psycho as he makes her seem. But you can't get with someone so expressive and then be surprised you cause hurt to make them express themselves. Should feel lucky she didn't write a tell all. But she already had songs expressing those sentiments of heartbreak. https://www.instagram.com/p/Brb0OdPgwam/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m8agn98tiozl
