He was my lover, my hearts joy
We played together for years
Along the way I didn't mean to
I didn't intend to, but I fell in Love
But you see he had so many girls that were his friends
I was young and naïve.
But I knew love... and I felt it.

He was certainly a lot older...
But I didn't care; he was all I had ever know,
So his friends, you know the guys; and some corrupt girls too
started to change him
I couldn't take the pain, so I went away
I needed to experience another kind of love,
Because this was starting to hurt
"I need a break form you" I told him You're changing...
you're becoming a monster.

I'll come back though when you realize you need me.
"Go ahead get away" he said, really angrily.
You're not the first to leave me
I get that a lot ... Yeah! They all say they'll come back
But they never do
"I don't care what you do"
I went away, I missed him
Every chance I got I sent him a letter
Every chance I got I sent him my pictures.
I told him how well I was doing and how I missed him,
And how I realise his heart is my home.

"Anytime my love, come home to me" I heard him say in my dreams
I was ready to go back and I looked at him and I screamed his name
NIGERIA what have you done to yourself
You have become cold and icy and you burn me with your dark deeds.
Why Nigeria why do you bleed from your own cuts and wounds
My goodness you have killed so many people,
When did you become a murderer?

I cried for days.... months.... a year, I think
How am I supposed to heal with you?
How am I supposed to live with you?
Knowing you could wake up one beautiful morning
And decide you want me dead huh? Nigeria!
We need to work this out...
Let's work this out...
I want to come home to you ... I need you in my Life
I need you... in my heart… I need you in my thoughts...
I need you... and you need me...
