Wishing I could reap what I sow
Still have you in my memories
Looks like I’ve hit a new low
Girl I really need you by my side
Don’t mind my past will you ride
2 am will you come slide
Know I gotta put away my pride
Feeling so down I wanna hide
How do I get past this it’s all bad
Depression hits I feel so sad
What do I do to get you with me
I swear I simped on girl of my dreams
I just want you right next to me
Girl you not a want girl you my need
I swear when I’m always drinking I think about you
Every little thing that happens makes my day with you
When I’m off the alch a new wave of darkness hits me
I just really need to know if you gone be with me
Every night I’m in bed full of misery
Wishing I could reap what I sow
Still have you in my memories
Looks like I’ve hit a new low
Girl I really need you by my side
Don’t mind my past will you ride
2 am will you come slide
Know I gotta put away my pride
Music video with you the next day
You not a rebound I say let’s stay
I say okay but I’m not okay
You like god girl I hope you pray
Pray for me cause a young in go thru this shit
No one to talk to they don’t understand a bit
That’s why I go to every party to get lit
So I don’t have the sad images
Every night I’m in bed full of misery
Wishing I could reap what I sow
Still have you in my memories
Looks like I’ve hit a new low
Girl I really need you by my side
Don’t mind my past will you ride
2 am will you come slide
Know I gotta put away my pride
