Michael Kiwanuka - Love & Hate with lyrics

[Verse 1]
Standing now
Calling all the people here to see the show
Calling for my demons now to let me go
I need something, give me something wonderful

I believe
She won't take me somewhere I'm not supposed to be
You can't steal the things that god has given me
No more pain and no more shame and misery

[Chorus]
You can't take me down
You can't break me down
You can't take me down

You can't take me down
You can't break me down
You can't take me down

[Verse 2]
Love and hate
How much more are we supposed to tolerate
Can't you see there's more to me than my mistakes
Sometimes I get this feeling - makes me hesitate
I believe
She won't take me somewhere I'm not supposed to be
You can't steal the things that god has given me
No more pain and no more shame and misery

[Chorus]
You can't take me down
You can't break me down
You can't take me down

You can't break me down
You can't take me down
You can't break me down

[Bridge]
I can see a place of trouble
And I'm on the verge
For the love of everybody
I need something more

Now I feel some days of trouble
I'm in the house of war
For the love of everybody
Look behind the wall

[Outro]
Standing now
Calling all the people here to see the show
Calling for my demons now to let me go
I need something, give me something wonderful

Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye are bobbing their heads in heaven. My Lord! I Tears man-straight tears, every time I listen to this masterpiece!

This song hits my heart and reminds me of my dear brother who lost his battle against the mental health demons. Miss you so much dear little brother.

This song and 'Cold Little Heart' are my favorites so far. Anyone with negative moments in their past can relate to both.

This song catapulted me to my forever person. After a disastrous date, this song came on YT out of the blue and gave me hope to try again. A few weeks later, I met him and we're still going strong!

[richardclemons]

A SERIOUS testament to the Lord thy God. I hope he finds a path against the pain in his heart.

After watching suits episode 708 now am here

[jacylara]

I heard this on When they see us...perfect song for a true horrific story but with a triumphant ending....😔

[rozee]

My life in a song from after my dad was killed..I was 7. Tried my best to be a good daughter for my mother but all I received was anger, disappointment, disregard, nothing I did or do is ever good enough. You can't take me down, you can't break me down. I will always have respect for her but I will remove myself from her life.
