Fair Chance
Thundercat Lyrics

I keep holdin' you down (holdin' you down)
I can't seem to let go of the past, holding onto memories of you even though you're not here physically.

Even though you're not around (you're not around)
You are not present in my life anymore, but I can't seem to forget about you.

So hard to get over it
It's challenging to move forward from the past; it's like I'm stuck in time.

I've tried to get under it
I've attempted to deal with it in different ways, but none of them seem to work.

Stuck in between
I'm trapped in the middle of how I feel about you and how I should let you go.

It is what it is (is what it is)
I've come to terms with the situation, and I accept it for what it is.

Bye-bye, for now
I'm taking a break from thinking about us for a while.

You do with me, you do with me
You have a hold over me, and I can't seem to shake it off.

‘Til it ain't
The situation will eventually change; it won't always be like this.

Things will never be the same
The way things were before between us won't ever come back.

Never be the same again
Our relationship can never be repaired, and things will be different.

Everything's so strange (strange)
Life seems so unusual now without you in it, and I'm still trying to adjust.

It ain't a game no more (game no more)
Our relationship used to be playful, but now it's serious.

We were just gettin' lifted
We were enjoying the moments together, and now those times are only memories.

Now we just reminiscin'
All I can do now is think about the good times we've had before.

'Bout yesterday, yesterday
I'm often thinking about yesterday, remembering how things used to be.

Keep my head above water
I'm trying my best to cope with the situation; it's like trying to stay afloat in a rough sea.

My eyes gettin' bigger
I'm starting to see things more clearly now.

The world gettin' smaller
My focus has shifted, and I only see what's important to me.

I been gettin' richer
Although my life has changed, I'm still growing and learning.

Only made me crazy
The changes in my life have been difficult to handle, and it's affecting me mentally.

Mama said I'm different
My mom always knew that I was unique and had the potential to do great things.

Since I was a baby
She's been saying this since I was young.

My emotions
The feelings I have are intense, and I can't seem to control them.

Give me a sip of that potion
I need something to ease my pain or make me feel differently.

No, my heart is not broken
Although I'm hurting, my heart hasn't shattered completely.

But I feel like it's open
My heart feels exposed and vulnerable.

Please somebody do surgery
I need help to mend emotionally, like I need surgery to repair me physically.

Tell the doctor come work with me
I need someone to guide me through this difficult time in my life.

And I've been workin' nine to nine
I've been putting in long hours trying to distract myself from the pain.

But they talk about it
People see changes in me, and they talk about it.

But she always so fine
Other things may be changing in my life, but my love for you never will.

But who can say that
Who knows what the future may hold?

I would be the man of your dreams
I would be the one to make you the happiest you've ever been.

I would do all that I can
I am willing to do whatever it takes to make you happy.

And be all I can be
I am committed to being the best version of myself for you.
