Letra da Música Life I Know de India Arie

I've kept a 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
But empty in the core at the end of every day
I lock the door, turn out the lights and climb in bed
and its all alright
'Cause this is the life I know

I cut the grass, take out the trash and fill the gas
In this house I'm the mom and the dad
What tomorrow brings I do now know yes
I know its unconventional
But it's the life I know

We all have a secret pain
We all have a tender place
We were born to want more
And no I'm not meant to live alone
But 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
Sometimes it hurts like hell
But I walk away with a song and story to tell
And this is the life I know
Yes, this is the life I know
And this is the life I know
