This song actually did start as a diss track. I never intended to release it, only to blow off some steam. But as I wrote it, I realized I was mad over some pretty stupid things and just needed to forgive the other person. Thus, the latter of the song was born.
[Verse 1]
I hate the way you say my name
I really hate the way you shift the blame
Never take responsibility for anything and
Everything you ever done did kind of sucks
I don't really love when you come around and
I don't really care when you tell me about
Last week's encounter with some broad you just met
How you've never been in debt
I get it, you're better than me
This is not a diss but a statement
Telling you I'm not the one to play with
I pray to God for patience
He hits me with that basis
Saying "Don't you know that I love
Everything equally that I've been creating"
Life is a road of constant forgiveness
Living inside that bitterness
Will only make your joy fictitious
Find a new hobby and let it go
I love you more than you know
But you're starting to sound religious
[Chorus]
Tell me who am I kidding
I've been holding onto this hatred
God as my witness
I wish I'd give it up, let it go, and carry on
But Instead I chose to hang out
In a place I don't belong
Tell me how I've been living
I've been holding onto this hatred
God as my witness
I need to give it up, let it go, and carry on
But Instead I chose to stay
In a place I don't belong
[Hook]
I need to work on my forgiveness
God as my witness
I need to work on my forgiveness
Who am I kidding
I need to work on my forgiveness
God as my witness
I need to work on my forgiveness
Who am I kidding
[Verse 2]
You don't deserve respect
I wish you knew I'm not impressed
You tell me all these pointless things
Like I'm supposed to bow down
Like I should make you a king
You are everything that I aspire not to be
And though I try my best to love
You make it hard for me
We talk sometimes and I die inside
Because I really wish you weren't
The way that you are
This is not a diss but a statement
Telling you I'm not the one to play with
I pray to God for patience
He hits me with that basis
Saying "Don't you know that I love
Everything equally that I've been creating"
Life is a road of constant forgiveness
Living inside that bitterness
Will only make your joy fictitious
Find a new hobby and let it go
I love you more than you know
But you're starting to sound religious
[Chorus]
Tell me who am I kidding
I've been holding onto this hatred
God as my witness
I wish I'd give it up, let it go, and carry on
But Instead I chose to hang out
In a place I don't belong
Tell me how I've been living
I've been holding onto this hatred
God as my witness
I need to give it up, let it go, and carry on
But Instead I chose to stay
In a place I don't belong
[Hook]
I need to work on my forgiveness
God as my witness
I need to work on my forgiveness
Who am I kidding
I need to work on my forgiveness
God as my witness
I need to work on my forgiveness
Who am I kidding
