(Soft guitar plucking)
Omo, my heart heavy...
I give you all, Tee Why
But now, silence dey everywhere
I remember the days when we dey talk till daybreak
I show you love, I give you joy, I no make you fake
Every sweet word, every promise wey we make under the rain
Now I dey wonder if all those moments go turn to pain
I invest my time, I invest my soul into your hand
But you chose the path where I no fit understand
Oh Tee Why, my forever love turned to memory
I thought we were writing our own sweet history
But this intermission, e scatter my whole plan
I no even sabi how to stand without my man
Oh Tee Why, why this curtain fall so fast?
Our love was gold, now it’s just part of the past
I carry you for head, I treat you like the only one
I thought for this journey, you be the moon and the sun
But coldness replace the warmth wey I use build the fire
Now you dey distant, you dey pull me from the wire
No be say I no try, I stretch my hand until e break
But your heart drift away, for God sake, give me a break
Oh Tee Why, my forever love turned to memory
I thought we were writing our own sweet history
But this intermission, e scatter my whole plan
I no even sabi how to stand without my man
Oh Tee Why, why this curtain fall so fast?
Our love was gold, now it’s just part of the past
(Talking drum fades in and out)
Maybe the script was too long for two hearts
Or maybe we were just playing different parts
I miss the touch, I miss the way you call my name
But now the silence, e be the one to blame
I pray for healing, even when the wound is still so fresh
I put my trust in the air, I put my trust in the mesh
I no go regret the love, I no go regret the care
Even if now, I dey breathe in all this empty air
Go well, Tee Why, even if my heart dey bleed
I go plant new love, even if I no get the seed
Oh Tee Why, my forever love turned to memory
I thought we were writing our own sweet history
But this intermission, e scatter my whole plan
I no even sabi how to stand without my man
Oh Tee Why, why this curtain fall so fast?
Our love was gold, now it’s just part of the past
Intermission, yeah...
Just a break in the play, but the show is gone
I still dey here, Tee Why
Missing you, no cap
(Fading guitar)
My heart, omo...
