Angel Haze - The Woods lyrics

[Intro] I mean, yeah, I really miss being at home in the woods I used to, like, like, f**ing lay there and just like pa** out in nature Just being with the wild, there's like mad animals there, f**ing foxes Like deers and the wolves, and like, just the creatures You know, that belong with the trees and belong with the peace and I- I swear to God, literally that was the only time in my life that I felt like I belonged anywhere I'm like, you know, I just, I want to go back, I miss- I miss being- I miss being home [Verse 1] It's hard when you're grieving I was too young when you left me alone I never cried for you even When I skinned my knees all the way to the bone Cause we're both made from scars We can't change what we are It was a dream, I was wishing Given the world, in a tangle of vine Always said it would break me But I thought if you lived then I could be fine But we've both run so far That we can love where we are [Chorus] (I can't love you) Back to the woods now, I'm going back to the woods (back) My heart is no good here (heart) Oh, it don't work like it should, was raised by the wolves Back to the woods now, I'm going back to the woods (back) My heart is no good here (heart) Oh, it don't work like it should, raised by the wolves [Post-Chorus] It's a long way I came (I came) Just running way from pain I'm so far from home I don't wanna be alone [Verse 2] I never asked you to save me Just don't say that your hands aren't stained I wasn't trying to desert you, no I was corrupted and desperate for change You weren't supposed to break for me But you were all that I could see But you keep trying to break me Cause you could see yourself trapped in my eyes Now I'm full of the feeling That I'll never know love that is mine It took two to make a wrong We never had to be alone [Chorus] (I can't love you) Back to the woods now, I'm going back to the woods (back) My heart is no good here (heart) Oh, it don't work like it should, raised by the wolves Back to the woods now, I'm going back to the woods (back) My heart is no good here (heart) Oh, it don't work like it should, was raised by the wolves [Verse 3] Back to the woods I'm gone for good I remember 7 mile nights on the floor by the kitchen While he slept in the room with his wife and his children That shame for you, mama Pain for you, mama See, that's what I wish I could change for you, mama But I was so young I couldn't fix the sh** You were too close to your son like you Icarus Just an outsider, got lucky to witness it Love was replaced by how much I resented it Now I'm so scared to connect with my heart, man Feel like I touch it, it all fall apart man I wished on every star that I could That one day you'd find me again in the woods (Woods now) (Back to the woods now) [Outro] The sun is always on our side I think sometimes even the moon and the trees and the wind all cry out for help because this world is too big even for itself Everything is lonely, like everybody else For real, man, for real And I- and I just- One day, I just wanna- I wanna hop out of the cocoon and just fly Just fly, you know, just fly
