From the recording Bayline Blue A black man's sorrow
Single title: Black Man's Sorrow : Bayline Blue
DSP description (Spotify/Apple) When love collapses, the truth cuts deepest. Not With Me is a raw confession about betrayal, fatherhood, and the quiet nights after a dream dies. Over moody, slow‑burn production, the hook lands like a verdict: “She had a baby, but not with me.” Each verse sifts through memories, doubt, and the long road to healing—“love turned to ashes, dreams torn apart”—until the outro reaches for light without denying the scars. Vulnerable, vivid, and painfully honest, this is the soundtrack to letting go when you don’t get closure.

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Caught in a whirlwind, lost in the pain,
Heart shattered in pieces, can't shake this chain.
Thought she was mine, thought we had it all,
But reality hit hard, like a never-ending fall.
(Pre-Chorus)
Questions in my mind, doubts in my soul,
Trying to find peace, trying to make it whole.
(Chorus)
She had a baby, but not with me,
Tears on my pillow, can't make it flee.
Love turned to ashes, dreams torn apart,
A black man's sorrow, a broken heart.
(Verse 2)
Every laugh we shared, every promise made,
Now it's just memories, in the shadows they fade.
A child's innocent eyes, looking up at me,
But not my flesh and blood, just a painful decree.
(Pre-Chorus)
Lost in the darkness, searching for light,
Trying to understand, trying to make it right.
(Chorus)
She had a baby, but not with me,
Tears on my pillow, can't make it flee.
Love turned to ashes, dreams torn apart,
A black man's sorrow, a broken heart.
(Bridge)
I thought we were forever, I thought we were strong,
But now I'm alone, trying to move along.
Her words cut deep, like a knife in the dark,
A father's pain, leaving its mark.
(Chorus)
She had a baby, but not with me,
Tears on my pillow, can't make it flee.
Love turned to ashes, dreams torn apart,
A black man's sorrow, a broken heart.
(Outro)
So I'll heal with time, I'll find my way,
But the scars remain, a price to pay.
For every tear shed, for every sleepless night,
A black man's journey, seeking the light.
