The Kid LAROI Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Rio)

Yeah, I wish there was a way I could take away the pain
Yeah, I wish there was a way I could give you everything
Damn, I wish there was a way I could tell you everything
But I can't
I wish I could, this shit affects me every day
Yeah, I wish there was away I could take away the pain
Yeah, I wish there was a way I could give you everything
Damn, I wish there was a way I could tell you everything
But I can't
I wish I could, this shit affects me every day

Every night I saw it, skeletons in my closet
Still got all these problems, I thought money would solve 'em
Blood all on the walls and, teardrops down, they falling
I don't even wanna think about all that, but it's like I can't help it
You say you can't help me, I've gotta help myself
But I need help with that, 'cause I feel so helpless
I feel like I've been to hell and back by myself
And there ain't nothing in my way no more, only myself is

I'm in the way, I'm in the way of myself
I'm in the way, I'm in the way, I need help
Need it today, I wish I could kill this pain
I wish I could kill this pain, I wish I could kill these days

Yeah, I wish there was a way I could take away the pain
Yeah, I wish there was a way I could give you everything
Damn, I wish there was a way I could tell you everything
But I can't
I wish I could, this shit affects me every day

Yeah, I wish there was a way I could take away the pain
Yeah, I wish there was a way I could give you everything
Damn, I wish there was a way I could tell you everything




But I can't
I wish I could, this shit affects me every day
