Friend of Mine
Lewn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not my fault that I feel this way
Everyday I gotta find a way to heal this pain
And ill walk that line till the end of time
In this life that has never been a friend of mine (x2)

Sick of this Life, sick of fucking breathing
Soon as I load the gun up
My ass is fucking leaving
I ain't accomplished shit cept for felonious crime
And it's all real split when I put it in rhyme
I've been thinkin' 'bout it every since I was a kid
And I don't think anybody care if I did
They can find my body laying in the bed
With the sheets blood red and a bullet in my head
I hate you for hating me
I will accept the sorrows of my family
Close my fucking casket and put me in the dirt
Seein my daughter cry, really makes it hurt

It's not my fault that I feel this way
Everyday I gotta find a way to heal this pain
And ill walk that line till the end of time
In this life that has never been a friend of mine (x2)

This life of mine's flyin by why am I here alive
Why am I among the living when I feel so dead inside
My eyes never dry never will I ever try not to be
A better man and try to have a better life
Every night I pray to find a way to make it right
I gotta try to stand and fight I gotta try to see the light
Everyday a different struggle every time another sign
Everyday I feel I'm losing it and running out of time
In my mind I am free I can fly I can see
But reality is battling I've had it be in me
Each step a little closer to the ending of the pain
Everyday I'm praying on the heavens take me away
Somebody's gotta hear me now I'm barely hanging on
And its scary thinkin' maybe there's no body there at all
With the man up in the mirriors tellin' me I'm outta lies
I'm gonna end it all like critical and die a thousand times
Die a thousand times
It's not my fault
It's not my fault

It's not my fault that I feel this way
Everyday I gotta find a way to heal this pain
And ill walk that line till the end of time
In this life that has never been a friend of mine (x2)
It's not my fault it's not my fault
It's not my fault it's not my fault

It's too late now I just wanna take it back
As the scene fades away and the pitch goes black
I can't figure out what to say to my maker
I know he ain't impressed with my actions for paper
The killa c shit was great while it lasted
The hatred for myself was what got my ass blasted
I can't remember ever in my life being happy
Maybe its because I was way too nasty
I did the best I could but I know it wasn't good enough
Maybe I shouldve listened when they hammered us in cuffs
Now I'm burnin in the flame dreamin' in the pain
If you let me start over lord it won't be the same

It's not my fault that I feel this way
Everyday I gotta find a way to heal this pain
And ill walk that line till the end of time
In this life that has never been a friend of mine (x2)




It's not my fault it's not my fault
It's not my fault it's not my fault
