[Hook:]
When I was up, you would never come around. (Only around when there's something to see, you always taking something from me.) But when I needed a friend, you could never be found. (You ain't never did nothing for me, from now on you're a nothing to me.)
Verse One:
Damn, I think God is tryna give me signs for the love I'm doubting
I'm usually the one who sees sh** clearly but girl my mind was clouded
No longer listen when you speak
Your voice is silenced cause everything said I no longer believe
I submitted to my heart, omitted my mind from the start
I under thought it, usually I overthink it apart
Now cards are faced up, the stakes up but pay stubs
Can't afford to cover this risk to flip the cards to get a “straight up”
Answer from you. To pay that fee, I refuse
I could never sell my soul to any b**h that misused
Another man for ego, love ain't no f**ing casino
We don't ever gamble our emotion's just to go home with zero
And no, I refuse to hear your side to the story
It's just a lie, that you hide, in your mind and tired of storing
So when you ask me what's wrong, you better listen to this
You ain't a fading memory, you don't exist b**h
[Hook]
Verse Two:
See loneliness is all I know and that's the way it's gotta be
Cause this game is cutthroat you're fighting battles constantly
Despite what they tell you, sometimes you need to get away
Everybody has a place and mine's in Howell by a lake
A place where you can chill and drink, think in peace
You can spill your deepest secrets and never care, cause judgment cease
Speak, cause there's nothing at stake
Until I fell for some girl that was my biggest mistake
We live and we learn, until burns are replaced
We strive for perfection till flaws are embraced
We want the first place, but never the race
We push for the taste but hate when we chase
But to me the chase is half the fun
Not meant to walk, we learn to run. We learn to speak through broken tongues
Cause only through our downfalls, we learn how to rise
And then when it comes to our dreams, we should never compromise
See our foundations should be built by the frustrations we're dealt
We need to learn to walk on coals before we march the depths of hell. And still
[Hook]
Verse Three:
I feel like people are confusing my consistence with resistance
The fact that you demand an explanation proves I don't give a f** about your existence
Shut your mouth and listen; you've become a hollow shell of your former self, so distant
The dude I truly knew would never be like that
The dude I truly knew would beat your current self's a**
In the past, we would talk about the “house made of gla**”
Now you're standing alone in it with a rock in your hand
Gla** shattered, stones scattered, lies just plaster the floor
You're afraid to step on gla**, but still attempt to reach the door
Tryna make a mends, but the sh** you say is dense
You just wanna clear your conscious based on selfish false pretense
It's common sense. You don't give a f** about me
You just wanna clear your mind and make it easy to sleep
So I'm sorry my brother, I won't give no satisfaction
It's time we grew up and now we pay for all our actions; cause
