{verse 1}
She doesn't know what's going on right now
And in her mind, she thinks i'm someone else
And when i text her back, i don't know what she knows
She just judges, like i'm used to blows
{pre-chorus}
I'm trying to just get it right
I gotta hold onto my light
{chorus}
I walk down the halls, i can hear my name
I look at myself and i'm not the same
'cause in retrospect, i'm stronger than i was
I walk down the halls, i still see that flame
They said i couldn't, i did anyway
'cause in retrospect, i had it all along
{verse 2}
She doesn't see what's behind closed doors
And she can't tell how i'm trying so hard
And when she takes a shot, she takes a piece of me
'cause i'm just pushing, and she can't see beneath
{pre-chorus}
I'm trying to just get it right
I gotta hold onto my light
{chorus}
I walk down the halls, i can hear my name
I look at myself and i'm not the same
'cause in retrospect, i'm stronger than i was
(i knew i could)
I walk down the halls, i still see that flame
They said i couldn't, i did anyway
'cause in retrospect, i had it all along
{bridge}
I've carved my path, tried to leave my mark
In my life, i hope i'll go far
When the comments and buzz get too loud
I have people who love me now
{chorus}
I walk down the halls, i can hear my name
I look at myself and i'm not the same
'cause in retrospect, i'm stronger than i was
(i knew i could)
I walk down the halls, i still see that flame
They said i couldn't, i did anyway
'cause in retrospect, i had it all along
