Lyrics:
He don't know I call him the teacher
He had a hard lesson for the kid
I get I put you through hell
He put me under the same spell
He lied man, he stressed me out
You loved me like a precious gift
And he loved me like a sloppy kiss
You would tell me your heartaches
Now I understand the pain
Oh why did I let you drown

Baby would you believe
That I've been broken
You say memories
Play again and again
I see the reel now it's real to me
I gave up gold
For grains of sand
Slipping through my hand (2X)

You had no problems with commitment
Like a king is loyal to what’s his
You looked for a ring to fit
While I played wifey with a kid
Oh the irony makes me sick

He tried to make me look crazy
Nothing new about his kind of scheme
I laugh when I think about
His face when truth nearly spilled out
He looked like me I get that now

Baby would you believe
That I've been broken
You say memories
Play again and again
I see the reel, now it's real to me
I gave up gold
For grains of sand
Slipping through my hand (4X)

Baby would you believe
That I've been broken
You say memories
Play again and again
I see the reel, now it's real to me
I gave up gold
For grains of sand
Slipping through my hand (4X)

I can't believe I'm just now discovering Andra Day!!! Where have I been!!! Under a rock!!! 😳😄😄She is a BEAST !!! Her voice is indescribable!! A combination of Bille, Amy, Erykah, Nina, Etta all mixed up in one!!! She's just the 💩

[dottiej]

The more I listen to Andra Day, the more I'm convinced that she should do the next Bond theme

[MsClarissa]

So mad Im just now finding out about this woman, her voice is so beautiful

[yourinternetfavt]

Heard this on the radio and i lowkey freaked out... I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG..

[TheColorOfCaramel]

This has become my favorite song by her. I truly wish her the best, because in the music business that pushes young women to act sexy to sell records and the R&B stations [and other stations] play the same formats. I've seen artists like her get lost in the shuffle, cause the record companies don't know how to market them, so you wind up losing  artists with unique gifts & voices, like her. Hopefully Sia hears her one day and want to write for her, I think they would do well together or maybe Pharrell.

Just found out what this song is called after hearing on the radio and finally deciding to look up every lyric i hear after my sister plays it...BEST SONG EVER(also deserves more views)

[MsSchwarzerrabe]

[philgayii]

He don't know I call him the teacher
He had hard lessons for the kid
I could offer you true helly put me under the same spell
He lied and he stressed me out

You love me like a precious gift
And he loved me like a sloppy kiss
You would tell me your heart aches,  
now I understand the pain
Oh why did I let you drown

Baby, what you believe that I been broken
You say memories again and again
I see the real and it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands

You had no problems with commitment
Like a king is loyal to honesties
You look for a ring to fit,  
while I played wify with the kids
Oh the irony makes me sick

He tried to make me look crazy
Nothing new about his kind of scheme
I laugh when I think about his face 
when the truth now is spilled out
He looked like me I get that now

But Baby, what you believe that I been broken
You say memories again and again
I see the real and it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands 
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands 
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands 
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands 

Ah, ah, ah, ah
But Baby, what you believe that I been broken
You say memories again and again
I see the real and it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands
Slipin' through my hand, hand, hand, hands...
