Thankful
FALINEE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I been stuck inside my head but I gotta face this shit
I don't talk about it but I am going faceless
And I know in this life I have been so blessed
But feelings from the past make me feel so drenched

Hope you know I am so thankful that you are there
I won't lie this year I was scared
Lost some friends fuck, I wish they knew I cared
But I will see them on the other side where the souls are repaired

I threw down my fears went away with the wind
When I met you I hated every inch of my skin
Idk what was wrong but you washed all my sins
Idk what was wrong but I learned to love within

I won't look back on the past
Cus nothing ever lasts
And once was all you have
Is something that you had




And I learn too many lessons on that
So don't question on why I turn my back
