[Chorus]
Maybe it's the way that the moonlight hits your face
But I could see your future when I look in your eyes
Haven’t been myself in a long time honestly
But when I'm with you all the dark thoughts go outside
Always search for the imperfections on my face
The internet could really tear you down sometimes
I wish I had a time machine for past mistakes
Been working so much, forgot what it's like outside
[Verse 1]
Yeah
See I’ve been self-reflecting
About my own reflection
And why I'm never truly happy with my own progression
And why dеcisions that I make are always fucking wrecklеss
Scared that I'ma fade away before I ever count my blessings
Who woulda thought same kid that they laughed at
Would grow to be a fucking superstar with this pen and pad
I could see the future's looking bright, and shit, I'm grateful for this
Never knew I had a purpose, but with music I did
Back in 2017, shit, I was at my lowest
Had no drive, no self-esteem, and not a fucking clue where I was going
Driving on the road and started swerving, and I lost control
Angry at myself for past mistakes and never letting go
Is constantly a problem in a reoccurring [?]
For every "W" I gain tell me why I face defeat
Can never make myself proud, I let myself down
Hold impossible standards and always wonder why I drop the crown
Tell everybody you are strong and it's okay to break
But here I am, a fucking hypocrite who doesn't know a thing
Searching for the answers, true we all got vices
Don't understand why past mistakes always got me in a vise grip
If you are battling depression, you are not alone
If you think no one will listen, I promise you’re wrong
When I get low and need escape I put it in these songs
Have some growing up to do, the fallen leaves are broken thorns, yeah
[Chorus]
Maybe it’s the way that the moonlight hits your face
But I could see a future when I look in your eyes
Haven't been myself in a long time honestly
But when I’m with you all the dark thoughts go outside
Always search for the imperfections on my face
The internet could really tear you down sometimes
I wish I had a time machine for past mistakes
Been working so much, forgot what it's like outside
[Verse 2]
Wish I took my own advice
Wish I wasn't caught up stressing if this gets a like
Wish I wasn't worried if I’m a likable guy or just an artist that nobody likes
I wish I didn't care about opinions, but I take that shit to heart
Wondering if people even listen to the art
Pick apart my verses, tired of uneducated folks who give opinions
Who are you to tell me that I'm worthless?
One thing's for certain
No one loves you 'til everyone does except a few
I'm closest to the ones who had my back before the music
People only see the current situation blinded by the view
But sunshine is just covering what's under the surface
Large houses with empty rooms
Artists are driven crazy from lack of humanity this generation blooms
Take a second, remember we're human
If you have the time to tweet about my life then you ain't doing shit
Take a sec and remember we're human
Look yourself inside the mirror then speak to me you miserable bitch
See, every song I wrote has a purpose
A good message for the youth because we need change
It might get dark sometimes, but that's where life is
Hurt people hurt people 'cause of their own pain
I've never met a lost soul that could not be found
There's always hope and another way to turn around
You don't need to be a star to succeed in life
It's really true the saddest people often hold the crown, yeah
