[Intro]
[Verse 1: D-Apostrophe-Sean]
I seen Robert Frost in the woods on my way here
I'm feeling tired I might lay here
My foot falls in the snow as if I got somewhere to go
I remember how I thought this'd be a great year
Back before I started smoking heavy
I was drinking less
And I just
Dropped all my cla**es not to see my ex
I turned over new leaves
Not the kind I do chief
But I quit f**ing with her feelings cause I wanted s**
And it was often said
I got a problem with the authentic
(Authentic)
She tryna see into my soul I keep it dark tinted
(Dark tinted)
Can I breathe a little more you got me coughing
And I still got some miles to go before I fall apart in it
(Apart in it)
Thought that I'd be on my own in apartments
I really thought that I'd be grown by now
I really thought that I could wake up on a beach in Jamaica
When May comes and May is six months gone by now
[Pre-Chorus: D-Apostrophe-Sean]
Baby have you had a chance to see my face?
(wait)
I been going through it as of late
(Do you see these scars?)
Your voice is music played by razor blades
(Thanks?)
Popping aspirin make you think I love the taste
(Do you see these calls?)
That's me being dumb and pressing play
Blood is thicker than water but not today
It's a near thing
It's a very near thing that's why I'm telling these people to give me space
She keep saying I should love me
[Chorus: D-Apostrophe-Sean]
She keep saying I should love me (x2)
She keep saying I should, but she don't
[Verse 2: D-Apostrophe-Sean]
She keep saying I should love me
And it just burned to hear it
My soul and my spirit cowards
My reflection looking so weary
The words
That she speaks contrasting with what I view
Then my mirror said what you see's more important than what you do
My mirror said what you see is the only way that you're viewed
If it wasn't for genius I probably could've been cool
Telling em I'mma a G
Books red and I'm feeling blue
Talk like an encyclopedia-- sh** I already knew
Like sh** I already knew
I wish I did good in school
I was busy faking the swag that I seen these n***as exude
Busy building a mask
That turned itself to a suit
That I been wearing so long that I can't remember the truth
Busy being more normal
Busy being a liar
Can't reach me out in the cold
Keep trying me by the fire
She trying me like some kindle
And she just needed a lighter
But the burning got me so inspired
She keep saying I should love me
[Chorus: D-Apostrophe-Sean]
She keep saying I should love me (x2)
She keep saying I should, but she don't
[Verse 3: D-Apostrophe-Sean]
She keep saying I should love me
And I wish you quit f**ing talking
He's your Christopher Reeves
Best believe that n***a's not walking
"S" on my chest for "Salty" and saying it's not a problem
I'm not the hero you need just the one that sees you most often
What's the problem am I too uncouth?
Am I not that guy?
Am I not that cute?
Am I not that fly?
Was I too untrue?
Cause baby I don't lie, except for when I do...
And there's times where I
Think of times with you
Where the time just flies
No matter what we do
But my eyes stay dry
Cause that sh** won't do
I think that I could love myself if only you could too
If you could...
If you could love me...
b**h
