[Verse 1]
By the time you hear this I'm probably already too far gone
Been a couple years now that I've been inside my thoughts
They're gon' probably tweet about me saying this is all my fault
But really I'm on the other side, I've been blamin' it on y'all
Right, 'cause y'all don't understand, y'all ain't ever walked inside my shoes
Boy, I've been faithful and I done paid my dues
Still get forgotten and I don't like to lose
But really admit it, you know it's all I do
I'm not like you
I hate my life, I ain't got no dad
I ain't got no money, I gave all that I had
Get a little results
I can't do this again, I put this all to an end
I'll see you around when I'm dеad
And don't you dare come around and try and act like my friеnd
I've been crying out for help for a while now
Grandma told me not to give it up 'cause I'm God's child
I ain't hearing nothing lately, where is He at now?
Got a bright smile so they think that I'm flourishing
I just put a caption up explaining my depression
Still nobody thinks I need a little bit of encouragement
Boy, I've been hurting man, boy, I've been hurting man
I saw my homie battle depression at sixteen
I've been crying behind doors, but when I'm in public I give a big cheese
Ain't nobody really gonna miss me
They don't show me love while I'm still here
I've been working and working and nothing is working
And it didn't get any better, my heart is steady hurting
I've been trying to worship and give my heart to the church
And I ain't been seeing progression, in fact, it's all getting worse
Look, if I'm called why've I been losing jobs?
Why I've been struggling just to get out the box?
Finally get to the top, finally get to the Heavens and actually get to your heart
Can't explain it, but I feel like I've been set up from the start
Dang, dang, yeah
I feel like.. I feel like..
Yeah, I'm finna go in it all 'cause I don't wanna be alive no more
I don't want to have to cry no more
They keep telling me go outside, but I don't wanna see the sunshine no more
I just wanna stay behind this door and be and be and be
Present in depression
Uh, I'll be neckdeep in it 'til I'm beheaded
When I die they gon' all try to seek vengeance
Know I should seek the King's presence, but forget that I'm done
[Chorus]
I'm too far gone (I'm too far gone)
So don't hit my phone (So don't hit my phone)
I'm too far gone (I'm too far gone)
So leave me alone (So leave me alone)
[Verse 2]
My child, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
And why you been crying though I've been among you
And know that I'd never put anything ever in heaven or earth for your good if I ain't want you
And I know that you've been drowning in depression, it's ugly
And I can see you're really asking if anyone loves me
I just need you to trust me, worship, love me
I am the God that's gonna take your arm and pull you above sea
See, I've been hurt before
The same people I made tried to kill me
Keep pressing forth, I know everything you will be
Don't die, there is beauty that you will see
And don't die, I promise life ain't all bad
I'ma return every time that you thought that
Need you to fall back and let me fall foward, show you that I'm Lord
Show you that I'm first, and I'm gon' be the one to come around and try to act like your friend
'Cause you've been crying out for help for a while now
Grandma told you not to give it up 'cause you're my child
I promise that you'll never be closer than you are now
Got a bright smile I gave you to encourage them
I see the discouragement, you battling killing yourself
Will bring no resolution, let me bring in your nourishment
Boy, I've been hurting them, boy, I've been hurting them
You won't find satisfaction in makin' it permanent
Decision based off of temporary sadness
Ayy, yeah, I know that this world is full of madness
Yeah, I am your Savior, I volunteer as your tribute before Katniss
[Bridge]
Don't die, you're not too far gone
Don't die, you're not too far gone
Don't die, you're not too far gone
Don't die, you're not too far gone
Don't die, you're not too far gone (Too far gone, too far gone, too far gone)
[Chorus]
You're not too far gone
Just come back home
You're not too far gone
I never left you alone
You're not too far gone (No, you're not)
Just come back home (Just come back home)
Come back, my daughter and my son
You're not too far gone (You're not too far gone)
I never left you alone
