Helmet
Steve Lacy Lyrics

Ooh, I'd been consumed
I was lost in my emotions and didn't know what to do

I'm not for sale, man, what the hell?
I am my own person and not someone who can be purchased or controlled

I been with you
I have been close with you in the past

And this ain't gon' last me forever
But this relationship can't continue indefinitely

All that I can be is me and all me
I can only be true to myself and my values

Time to get out, I don't want you around
It's time for me to move on and end this relationship

All that I can see is you without me
I envision a future where we are not together

No, I can't scold you, however
But I won't blame you for this outcome

I tried to play pretend (ooh)
I attempted to ignore the problems in our relationship

Try not to see the end (ah)
I didn't want to accept that this relationship was going to end

But I couldn't see you the way you saw me
I realized that our perspectives were different

Now I can feel the waste on me
I now feel like the time we spent together was wasted

I tried my best to be worth all your while
I put effort into making this relationship work

You just gotta let me go as I'm tryna let go of you
Now it's time to move on and let each other go

Shoo-doo, d-doo-doo-doo
N/A

Uh, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
N/A

Ooh, I'll be there soon
I will eventually move on from the past relationship

I'm kind of sad, what should I do? (What should I do?)
I am feeling sad and uncertain about how to proceed

Guess I'll move on
But I will have to try to find a way to let go of the past relationship

Love won't harass me forever
I no longer feel held back by my love for you

Fuck all that nostalgia, been up on a downer
I don't want to romanticize the past, as it made me feel down

I can't make your eyes see, gon' be what it's gon' be
I cannot control how you feel, and things will happen as they will

Don't come back around me, no, never
I don't want to rekindle this relationship

You were so automatic
You didn't put much effort into the relationship

So you know I had to have it
But I was still drawn to you and pursued the relationship

But lovin' you was a hazard
Being in a relationship with you was risky and didn't turn out well

So I got my heart a helmet
Now, I am protecting myself from future heartache

Let me (let me)
Let me move on

Allow me to let go of you
Allow me to move forward and let go of our past relationship

Let me (let me)
Let me move forward

Let me (let me) go
Let me move on and detach myself from our past relationship

Fuck yeah
I am determined to move forward and embrace new opportunities
