[Verse 1: Thoreau & Sample]
Lately, I feel like you haven't been yourself
Maybe that's... who you really are
It's all you ever had
I don't wanna know
What you get [out to]
I'm tryin'
It's all you ever had
Your pretty looks, your Xanax and your make up back
It's all you ever had
You try to smile, but I see right through, it's just a mask
It's all you ever had
You wear your heart on your sleeve, but it looks more like shoulder pads
It's all you ever had
And now I'm wondering if you'll even call me back
[Break]
Would you be honest with me if I asked you where it all went wrong?
Would you try to promise me that you would at least listen to this song?
Let the dark dominate this conversation but thats not who you are
I don't want to leave here so empty handed if we've made it this far
But I know I will
But I know I will
It's all you ever had
It's all you ever had
[Verse 2]
What you really expect from me?
Like I don't even need to sleep
Cuz you keep me begging on my knees
That I won't get your answer machine
I left my last three messages
That were all more or less me questioning
How we're still in this situation?
Like honestly I'm running out of patience
It's true
I just want to see you shine through
I'm just here to remind you
That we all struggle sometimes too
But it's all you ever had
[Outro: Thoreau & Sample]
Just know
The highs and the lows
They come and they go
But I won't
It's all you ever had
I know it's not easy
To get up in the morning
And act like everything's okay
When it's not

Thoreau said on YouTube:
“All You Ever Had,” is a story about a friend I knew growing up. She was never happy with herself and would constantly self-medicate and avoid her issues entirely in attempt to hide them. It’s something most of us have gone through…the constant voice in our head that tells...
