In the end, we decided that we like the message behind the old R&B songs especially the ones that were all about empowering women, but the biggest issue was that all the songs we liked were very much mainstream songs which we were trying to avoid for fear of comparison. Instead, we decided that we would try and find a more modern R&B song that carried the same positive message, this way we could use the old ones as inspiration. Throughout the song, she mentions how she learned from her experiences which encourage girls to not only move on from certain relationships that are not healthy but to also learn from them. Another reason we chose this song is that there isn't a music video for it which is great because we will able to be as creative as we like without any chance of being influenced by the original video. We hope that we can send out a positive message to women using this song.
Here are the lyrics to the song:
Tryna forget all of the messages
Tryna forget all of the stressin'
'Cause damn it was
Tryna forget all of the secondary
Feelings I had, man, it was fuckin' scary
Tryna get back to all my old ways
Tryna get back to all the hobbies from my old days
(Gettin' back)
Tryna forget all the unnecessary
Thoughts from my head, man, it was pretty scary
At least I learned a thing or two (yeah)
About me and you (yeah)
What we went through (yeah)
It made me who I am, I am, I am
I can feel again
Won't be numb again (numb)
At least I didn't mess it up (yeah)
That was all your touch (yeah)
I don't miss it much (yeah)
But it made me who I am, I am, I am
I can feel again
Won't be dumb again (dumb)
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind that I can't get right
(I can't get right)
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind, my heart's on my side
(My heart is on my side)
You said yourself you made me who I am
You told me that after you I would never love again
(Didn't i?)
Oh you made sure that I would lose myself
So I wanna see I need no one else
Just tell me that I was worth a million smiles, and
Tell me that I was worth a million miles, and
Tryna make sure that I forget the times that
You made me think that I just couldn't shine, yeah
At least I learned a thing or two (yeah)
About me and you (yeah)
What we went through (yeah)
It made me who
I am, I am, I am
I can feel again
Won't be numb again (numb)
No oh oh oh
At least I didn't mess it up (yeah)
That was all your touch (yeah)
I don't miss it much (yeah)
But it made me who I am, I am, I am
I can feel again
Won't be dumb again (numb)
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind that I can't get right
(I can't get right)
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind, my heart's on my side
(My heart is on my side)
On my side, yeah
On my side, yeah
Gotta get a little piece of mind
Gotta make sure that it feels just right
Gotta make sure that I make it alive this time
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
(I'm tryna break off)
A piece of mind that I can't get right
(Boy that I can't get right)
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
(A piece of my mind)
A piece of mind, my heart's on my side
My heart's on my side, yeah, yeah
Da, da, da, da
(Da)
Da, da, da, da
Yeah
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
