This song delves into the turmoil of being in a situation where you don’t know what is right. It touches on the concept of what the artist feels modern-day relationships are, and the emptiness he now feels after experiencing such a phenomenon. A feeling of lostness and an inability to navigate onese...
[Intro]
(How long am I damaged for) I won't lie to you
This broke me to my core, innit
(When do the memories fade away)
This broke me
I could be down in the dumps if you want me too
Yeah I been there too
It's a mood lately
And there's space here, for me and you
Like I ain't, I
Tsk, honestly
I don't even think they're like
Understanding or clocking what I'm sayin
So let me explain (They're not clocking what I'm sayin so let me explain)
[Verse 1]
Yeah, listen
It's when feelings change and my heart wants laying, to rest
And I feel-
Nah I can't say it, but it's not worthless
On my down days when I don't want this earth no more
Why a world of hurtin sons and daughters still play games?
This is not a sport (hurtin sons and daughters still play games)
All the painful memories
(This is not a sport) Feeling like they won
They weigh me down
When I'm trying my best to just move on
Take off
For a while I stayed, I thought
What's a broken heart when I'm tryna mend your soul?
(What's a broken heart when I'm tryna mend your soul)
But we fight now
And now our love
It feels like war
My aching heart is broke, at its core
Every Sunday rolls into the week before
And my sense of time stopped ticking when we stopped (stopped)
But it's more than that I lost
Surprised you left me here to rot (its not just that I lost)
Surprised the memories pain this long
Why a love come with a cost?
What's the price to heal this pain?
The lessons learnt forever saved
Save me from myself I beg
Can this I ever try again?
(Save me from myself I beg) Need, need space from my own head
(Can this I ever try again?)
(Needing space from my own head) Needing space from my own head
[Chorus]
How long am I damaged for?
And when do the memories fade away?
I'll always remember your name
The times we shared
Never cared for anyone
The same as I did for you
But the shame on me was thrown by you
It became a game, a game I lost (I lost)
For years now I've been bruising
Ever since this, I been losing (I been losing)
Yeah, yeah
[Interlude]
And basically
That's the situation that I found myself in
(And It's like head up, head up, keep your head high)
And It's like head up, head up, keep your head high
But they never realise
[Outro]
It's true I cried
This broke me down so many times
It's true I cried
This broke me down so many times
I won't lie to you, this broke me to my core innit
This broke me
(This broke me)
