“BEN” is CYD’s second single after taking a three year hiatus — a ballad about the karmatic exchange between two people in a one sided relationship.. You can hear the underlying pain and lack of closure in her words. At the same time, her voice lures you back in every time just as the past always do...
I told him I might cry
50 shades of TMII
Verse I:
What's the use, can you prove
Everything you do just ain't for you
Do you mi-ind, if I waste your time?
'Cause I feel like I'm on egg shells around you
Pre-Chorus:
You think that I'm karma, but I'm just a bitch
Press all of my buttons, you just flipped the switch
Do you mind, if I waste your time?
'Cause my heart can't take no more of this shi-it
Chorus:
And now you're just a ghost that's haunting me-ee
I close my eyes hoping I'll be free-ee
But my mind just keeps flooding with memories
You give what you get but all I got was being lonely
Verse II:
You paid your dues, did your time
But your guilt don’t always gotta stem from mine
It's no excu-use, so what’s the crime?
'Cause letting you go wasn’t mine
Pre-Chorus:
You think that I'm karma, but I'm just a bitch
Press all of my buttons, you just flipped the switch
Do you mind, if I waste your time?
'Cause my heart can't take no more of this shi-it
Chorus:
And now you're just a ghost that's haunting me-ee
I close my eyes hoping I'll be free-ee
But my mind just keeps flooding with memories
You give what you get but all I got was being lonely
Bridge:
You said you was good for me
Too bad I was good to you
God I was such a fool, such a fool, such a fool
I was so an-gr-ry, I'm trying to keep my cool
Keep my cool, keep my cool, this ain't cool
Verse III:
You string me along like a puppet for sale
Pinocchio nose growin' from ya tall tales
Wish I could buy ya love it ain't for sale
All I can do now is just wish you well
But I'm proud of you, you lost your shell
You're making moves, I wish you...
Pre-Chorus:
You think that I'm karma, but I'm just a bitch
Press all of my buttons, you just flipped the switch
Do you mind, if I waste your time?
'Cause my heart can't take no more of this shit
Chorus:
And now you're just a ghost that's haunting me-ee
I close my eyes hoping I'll be free-ee
But my mind just keeps flooding with memories
You give what you get but all I got was being lonely
