THIS WOMAN IS AMAZING!

LYRICS BY GENIUS [Verse 1] I've had Ghosts of my past come back to greet me Big white smiles and their eyes I go blind looking back, pray they can't see me Pray they'll let me be [Hook] Cause I can't outrun, outsmart, outlive myself Outrun, outsmart my Shadow [Chorus] I wished I'd learned to take heed of all the signs I wish I could turn back the hands of all man-time It's the saddest of truths, seen it with my own brown eyes If you play with fire, you'll get burned Alive, oh [Verse 2] I wish I could have known, the way fate would use me Took my life in her hands, the things she'd do to me Yet, I'd never complain, I'd always go through It (oh) The pain's a part of the Play (oh-oh) [Hook] Cause I can't outrun, outsmart, outlive myself Outrun, outsmart my Shadow [Chorus] I wished I'd learned to take heed of all the signs I wish I could turn back the hands of all man-time It's the saddest of truths, seen it with my own brown eyes If you play with fire, you'll get burned Alive [Bridge] No returns, No regrets No lessons learned, this is all that we get Yeah, that's just how it goes The good and bad it takes it's toll before we get old, oh [Chorus] I wished I'd learned to take heed of all the signs I wish I could turn back the hands of all man-time It's the saddest of truths, seen it with my own brown eyes If you play with fire, you'll get burned Alive

Cynthia killed it! I'm definitely buying the album. I love how she sings. She knows the art of singing like singers of the past who leave room for the lyrics to take the focus instead of competing with it by giving into unnecessary riffs and runs.

The song is gorgeous. Can't wait for the album. She's a really great songwriter.

This song and her voice are so powerful!!!

Sabe a perfeição? Ela existe. Está aí! Amo sua vida, amo sua arte, Cynhia! ✨✨✨

This is a masterpiece. The voice, lyrics, music is everything. Pure genius!

💖 I love the music she's been releasing. I believe it's timeless.

Cynthia, entenda: você é perfeita!

Maravilhosa/ amazing! 😍😍😍 Bjs do Brasil/ Kisses from Brazil, 😘😘😘💐💐💐

Every song from Cynthia sounds live heaven. Such a great talent!

She is so underrated! She is an amazing singer, actor, songwriter, and she’s literally so perfect. Keep up the good work Cynthia!❤️❤️❤️❤️

She is stunningly brilliant. An artist for the ages. L-KAP

Her tone is so crisp and clear she sounds like a recording even when she sings live. I’m obsessed with her.

Your artistry is out of this world 😍

Hello, well I wanted to tell you that JESUS LOVES YOU, and wants to transform your life, understand and never forget, you are very special to GOD, so seek the LORD, read and get to know the bible, because behind it, you will meet JESUS and you will understand that the love of CHRIST JESUS is EVERYTHING, I say EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN THIS WHOLE WORLD, and ONLY JESUS can change your life, your story.

Perfeita ❤🤟🇧🇷

This is a very beautiful single song that You've put out as your debut project will drop on Sept 17th, I am indeed will be awaiting on it to be released. I for sure know that it will have some beautiful songs from a very gorgeous and talented singer such as yourself.

CYNTHIA YOU ARE A GEM!!!😩😩💎💎

Omg that’s control of voice ❤ so incredible

Your performance honoring Earth, Wind &`Fire (Kennedy Center) was AMAZING! You nailed those songs! Every few days I have to watch it just to take my mind off the stress we're all dealing w/. Anxiously awaiting the release of your CD next month. Saw you perform on the Today Show this morning -- FABULOUS!! What a voice!!

😍😍I Like this voice✌️✌️Cynthia soo Good

I can't wait for this album!! Every song that has been released I've loved, and this song is no different. I'm going through a heatwave right now but I turned my fan off just so I could hear the beauty of your vocals clearly. Also, can I just say how much I love the "brown eyes" lyrics. Many times whenever eye color is implemented in songs rarely do people include brown eyes, even if they themselves have them. So, thank you. Keep shining!

love you Cynthia, and sorry Jennifer but Cynthia rocked Aretha, can't even watch Jennifer's version..

the best everything period.
