FIRST HELLO (Duet)

[Verse 1]
Staring at my ceilin'
Convince myself it's nothin'
Pray to God to fix me
Feelin' guilty havin' thoughts at 12 years old
Is momma gonna like this?
I'm riskin' her of grandkids
Seven years of fightin'
And I don't wanna fight no more

[Refrain]
So I wanna let it out
Wasn't ready then
But I'm ready now

[Verse 2]
I'm finally ready to take the stage
And sing the song I wrote my own way
My scar if I can show my face
A space where I can finally be me
Where all my insecurities' erased
Feels so good to know I finally found the place
Where first hello don't mean that I might have to say goodbye

[Refrain]
So I'm counting down
Unlock my cell
And comе on out

[Chorus]
Oh my, beautiful bliss
I'm so foreign to this
Tell you what my walls know
Hеre's my first hello
Oh my, such a relief
I can be me
I don't put on no show
It's my first hello (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
It's my first hello (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Bridge]
All that I said, all that I did
I learned to lock my thoughts up carefully
I held my breath, I broke my heart
I bit my tongue, it starts to bleed
And I, I hope you know that it's not your fault
Hope my father understands
I'm not any less a man

[Chorus]
Oh my, beautiful bliss
I'm so foreign to this
Tell you what my walls know
Here's my first hello
Oh my, such a relief
I can be me
I don't put on no show
It's my first hello (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
It's my first hello (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Outro]
I wanna let it out
Wasn't ready then
But I'm ready now
