[Intro]
Mm, yeah
[Verse 1]
Paro
This situation got me paro
The way your mind is thinkin' narrow
You tryna keep me in your shadow, mm
You got me tripping while l'm fallin'
Sweat until the mornin'
Hands around my necklace
Like you fuckin' reckless
But I found my peace
In the chaos and no sleep
I know I need better
But pain is pleasure
[Chorus]
And I've been tryna tap out of this circus
Find some purpose
But this
Trauma got me leading myself on
Trauma got me with someone when I need to be alone
[Post-Chorus]
I look for something audacious
Know I need my own space but
I ain't never had patience
I don't really wan' face it
I just wanna relation
Get mе high, keep me spacing
When you get my hеart racing
I forget I need saving, mm
[Verse 2]
Treat you like I won the lotto
Spendin' even when the funds low
Overcompensating's all I know
Self-hating make me do the most
I'm just tryna give you my world
You don't even get me flowers
Stay because it's comfort in the hurt
I know you just another diversion
On the moonshine, got me starry-eyed, it numb the pain
Tryna to be different, bad choices keeping me the same
I'm just wanna keep my word
Circle back like clockwork
Stay because I'm used to being hurt (Oh, I)
[Chorus]
And I've been tryna tap out of this circus
Find some purpose
But this (Oh)
Trauma got me leading myself on
Trauma got me with someone when I need to be alone
[Post-Chorus]
I look for something audacious (Ooh)
Know I need my own space but (Oh)
I ain't never had patience
I don't really wan' face it (Yeah)
I just wanna relation
Get me high, keep me spacing
When you get my heart racing
I forget I need saving, mm

I had to dig deep to create this song & channel sensitive emotions that usually I would avoid. However, the inspiration behind this song came from a time of my life I’d like to think I’ve healed from so writing it wasn’t too hard but ended up being a kind of farewell to that particular version o...
