[Intro]
Two, three, four
Yeah
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Prayin' to God (Prayin', I'm prayin' to God)
Pray to God that He can finally keep me sober (Finally keep me sober)
I feel a lot (I feel a lot)
Feel a lot and don't talk about it with no one (Don't talk about it with no one)
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it's trauma, maybe it's bad decisions with some karma
I'm barely conscious, it's just a black screen when I FaceTime with my momma
Hop in the Honda, thinkin' it's 'bout time that I go ahead and be honest
I've been gettin' homesick, and my apologies, woah-oh (Sheesh)
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, grown men don't cry
Ooh-ooh-ooh, but I might try
Ooh-ooh-ooh (I might just, I might just try)
Ooh-ooh-ooh (I might just, I might just try)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I'll count the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh, 'til I feel sane
Ooh-ooh-ooh (I might just count all the days)
Ooh-ooh-ooh ('Til I just go and feel sane)
[Verse 2]
Remember the time when I was a kid
I told my parents that I'd make them proud
Where is that boy, like, where is he now? (Where is he now? Yeah)
Remember the time when I was a kid
I told my friends that I run the town
But now I just can't get up off of the ground (Get up off of the ground, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it's trauma, maybe it's bad decisions with some karma
I'm barely conscious, it's just a black screen when I FaceTime with my momma
Hop in the Honda, thinkin' it's 'bout time that I go ahead and be honest
I've been gettin' homesick, and my apologies, woah-oh (Sheesh)
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, grown men don't cry
Ooh-ooh-ooh, but I might try
Ooh-ooh-ooh (I might just, I might just try)
Ooh-ooh-ooh (I might just, I might just try)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I'll count the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh, 'til I feel sane
Ooh-ooh-ooh (I might just count all the days)
Ooh-ooh-ooh ('Til I just go and feel sane)
