Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feelings coming out at night
Nothing in my [?]
People always giving up on me they never try
Always wanna leave, you never once stayed by my side
I've been trynna change, I've been using all of my mind

I know you might regret
And I know the shit you said
I'm trynna put it in the past cause I just want the bread
Cause everything I love is fucked up, everything is such a mess
I been tired of living life that's why I'm living in the shadows
Should've gone for my dreams, I'm stuck in this friction
I always been writing but nobody listens
Stumbling my words, don't know [?] my diction
Said that I'm fine, that I'm ok, I'm kidding

I've been struggling with my thoughts
Nobody won't come and talk
And I'm tired, I've had enough
It's getting bad, it's getting rough
I've been trying to try enough but then people always give up on me

I'm sick and tired, I'm tired of getting last place
Slow down, I think I need pick up my pace
Lost her, and you told me right up to my face
And I feel like I am such a damn disgrace

I'm sick and tired, I'm tired of getting last place
Slow down, I think I need pick up my pace
Lost her, and you told me right up to my face
And I feel like I am such a damn disgrace

[?], why don't you
I'm in a Starbucks and my life is falling through [?]
I'm cutting everybody out, don't want them around
I'm trynna live up to these standards, now I let you down

[?], why don't you
I'm in a Starbucks and my life is falling through [?]




I'm cutting everybody out, don't want them around
I'm trynna live up to these standards, now I let you down
