Where Did The Beat Go?

I can hear planes flying over my head

Just hours before you occupied my bed

In our darkness, we conjured up sunlight

In our haste, our need, our thirst

We lost our sight

But I was inspired tracing the lines in your face

To the poetry the first time I heard your name

When I trip from your lips my heart was like a kick drum

And it silenced the guilt I wasn't raised to hurt anyone

Uh oh does he know that i'm lying in the afterglow

That i'm lying but I can't go, can't say now

Make him think he's crazy, while his paranoia grows

What he should be asking, is where did our love go

Then I wouldn't be baskin, in another man's afterglow

Where did the beat go

Where is the beat

Where did the beat go

So how do I justify to the judge and the jury

The voices in my head that caused this fury

Never had to play with matches to start a fire

But it got so cold and i'd thought i'd forgotten desire

I was your concubine, and then your madonna

You couldn't see anything beyond your baby's mama

How long is lonely supposed to last

I was naked and waiting for you to come back

Uh oh does he know that i'm lying in the afterglow

That i'm lying but I can't go, can't say now

Make him think he's crazy, while his paranoia grows

What he should be asking, is where did our love go

Then I wouldn't be baskin, in another man's afterglow

Where did the beat go

Where is the beat

Where did the beat go

In another man's afterglow...

There's a cause and effect, although I took the steps

I dove off of the bridge cause I had nothing left

All I ever wanted was you

And in the absence of you

I fell through

Uh oh does he know that i'm lying in the afterglow

That i'm lying but I can't go, can't say now

Make him think he's crazy, while his paranoia grows

What he should be asking, is where did our love go

Then I wouldn't be baskin, in another man's afterglow

Where did the beat go

Where is the beat

Where did the beat go

Where did the love go

Where did the beat go

Where did the love go
