[Verse 1] I used to say what I wanted to hear Now I look back and see how I got here Without the sugar-coated raw emotion coasting on a hope It's clear became the dopest from the coldest place you fear A drop in my ocean But that drop became a wave And that wave became and storm That storm became my hurricane Now I'm coursing through the states To overseas, they know the name But ever since that ship failed I never been the same All 'cause you chose popularity I'm popular as f** You'll probably say "get over it" but damn I hold a grudge I ain't perfect not at all But I was someone you could call Loyal as loyal gets In these days I'm not at all What I used to be 'Cause what I used to be didn't work Now every girl I went out Never seems to work The best way to do it Was the way that I got hurt I know I made mistakes, but hope life shows you what I'm worth [Chorus 1] Our candle burns away The ashes full of lies I gave my soul to you You cut me from behind Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide You're scared of the truth, I'm tired of the lies Cuz who I am, is where you wanna be [Verse 2] I was: Young, dumb, protective But I always meant the best Had a heart a couple sizes Maybe too big for my chest And you, you had the same 'til that sh** became compressed While mine shrunk within' depression You said "hope you learned your lesson" Lesson that consisted of: f** communication, and attention I could make a huge jab, but I'll spare it the mention All in all I'm over it But being back brings back some memories Feels good to see my friends But damn, it brings back enemies Wasn't really treated with respect growing up But now I got the voice so excuse me when I stunt Used to be so blind but now look back and know what's up Pretty f**ed up that back then weren't many I could trust It's Karma that I'm here See it all comes around 'Cause now they say "what's up?" When I roll through town They used to laugh at my dreams Homie who laughs now? And It's only the beginning Wait 'til I cash out [Chorus 2] You said you were there for me You wouldn't let me fall All the times I shared with you Were you even there at all? Nowhere to run and no where to hide You're scared of the truth, I'm tired of the lies 'Cause who I am, is where you wanna be
