Nero from The Work by Carly Z
Nero is the story of Carly Z’s relationship with a man who insisted that she do the difficult work of discovering herself so that she not repeat the destructive relationship patterns of her parents. It is a tribute to the man who did enough of his own work to show her the way to hers.

Lyrics
When truth comes home
You won't have time to cook or clean
It settles in the seams
What can you do but release
What can you do but believe
He said I don’t want to be your father for you
I know you learned some things from your mama too
Like how to treat a man like he’s tarnished silver
But baby I am gold and so are you
I got over a lot to be here standing with you
I ain’t gonna let you be the devil of our hell
‘Cause the only way to heaven is to walk me through your fire
And the only way to love me is to love yourself
When love lies down
It won’t get comfortable and sleep
But it stays eternally
What can you do but release
What can you do but believe
He said I don’t want to be your father for you
I know you learned some things from your mama too
Like how to treat a man like he’s tarnished silver
But baby I am gold and so are you
I got over a lot to be here standing with you
I ain’t gonna let you be the devil of our hell
‘Cause the only way to heaven is to walk me through your fire
And the only way to love me is to love yourself
