Lyrics from Live Performance
– Iingoma Ezivela Kwintsebenzo Ephilayo
To the men that love women after heartbreak
– Amadoda athanda abafazi emva kokuqhekeka kwentliziyo
To the hellos that come after goodbyes
– Goodbye bafana goodbye
To the rain that was falling but watered the gardens
– Imvula yayisiwa kodwa yayinkcenkceshela izitiya
And the ones that bring the flowers back to life
– Kwaye abo bazisa iintyatyambo ebomini
To the men that love women after heartbreak
– Amadoda athanda abafazi emva kokuqhekeka kwentliziyo
To the tears they catch but didn’t make them fall
– Iinyembezi zabo azizange ziwise
To the strong and sturdy shoulders helping her get older
– Kumagxa anamandla kwaye omelele mncede akhule
And the ones that get forever after all
– Kwaye abo bafumana ngonaphakade emva kwayo yonke loo nto
It ain’t fair and it’s hard to understand
– Ayinamsebenzi kwaye kunzima ukuyiqonda
It ain’t easy but you do it because you can
– Akulula, kodwa ngenxa yokuba unako
You don’t see my heart as secondhand
– Awuboni intliziyo yam njengezandla zesibini
And baby, that’s why it takes a man
– Kwaye umntwana, yiyo loo nto kuthatha indoda
To love women after heartbreak
– Ukuthanda abafazi emva kokuqhekeka kwentliziyo
To the architect that’s broke down the house
– Home iindaba uqhekekile umzi
The carpenter and painter
– Umchweli kunye nomzobi
The all night renovator who’s building her up from the ground
– Chrum kwik chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum kwik chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum kwik
It ain’t fair and it’s hard to understand
– Ayinamsebenzi kwaye kunzima ukuyiqonda
It ain’t easy but you do it because you can
– Akulula, kodwa ngenxa yokuba unako
You don’t see my heart as secondhand
– Awuboni intliziyo yam njengezandla zesibini
And baby, that’s why it takes a man
– Kwaye umntwana, yiyo loo nto kuthatha indoda
To the man that loved this woman after heartbreak
– Ukuba umntu omthandayo lo mfazi emva kwesifo sentliziyo
Thank you for all you didn’t have to do
– Enkosi ngako konke ongazange ukwenze
When I met you, I was jaded, sad and complicated
– Xa ndidibana nawe, ndandithukuthele, ndibuhlungu kwaye ndinzima
You’ll never know how much I needed you
– Awusoze wazi ukuba ndikudinga kangakanani
No, you’ll never know how much I needed you
– Awusoze wazi ukuba ndikudinga kangakanani
