Say My Piece

[Intro]
(Oh it's, been such a long, long time
Looked like I'd get you off of my mind)
Well I tried

[Verse 1]
I was the kind of guy who kept all my problems waiting
I leave it for another week, brush it off and walk away and
Talking shit like all of this ain't no ominous abomination
Reacted in extremeties, and never so in moderation
My problems never disappeared, they were just hanging
Took a bit of time to recognize that they were dragging
Suppose I liked to complain, 'cause they never were vanquished
So I got burned out, I was worn down and feeling anxious
As I was tensing up, and feeling all depressed and shit
I'd look into my friends and I would wish that I could switch with 'em
I'd look at my ex girl like, "Why is she kissing him?
I'm clearly the better choice"
Fuck, was I bitter then
And hell yeah, it's easy to look back and to reminisce
And think "I could've done that" or "I should've done this"
But I'm growing as a man and I'm begging you kids
Don't live my same mistakes because you're better than this
For real

[Hook]
Baby, when I say that I'm glad we're through
Deep in my heart, I know I've lied
I've lied

[Verse 2]
Now I'm not saying that I'm the perfect specimen
I'm coming clean with my mistakes to tell you what the lesson is
You're better than you think you are, no matter what your record is
Commit yourself to giving value, and personal betterment
Because you change, and you grow, then you move on
So maybe it's time to try to write yourself a new song
If you hate your Monday mornings, start applying for a new job
"You should be doing what you love"
That's a principle I grew on
But now a days everything is so preverse and twisted
Take a shit and swipe on tinder while saying "All these girls are bitches"
So hell yeah they're swerving, dodging all the calls you're giving
You can't expect that attitude to work with women
Put down the phone, step back, and take a hard five
'Cause right now you're talking like you're walking on the dark side
When you gonna realize that enough's enough
Uninstall everything, say fuck it and unplug, huh?

[Hook]
Baby, when I say that I'm glad we're through
Deep in my heart, I know I've lied
I've lied

[Bridge]
(Oh, ohh, ohhh) Let's break it down for a minute
Baby, I should forget you
Oh, I know I should move on
Heaven knows I tried
Yeah, I tried, and I tried, and I-
Baby, when I say that I'm glad we're through
Oh I'm glad we're done
Deep in my heart, I know I've lied
But I'm glad you were a part of me
I've lied

[Verse 3]
I'm just trying to be honest, I used to mask fear
I'd keep my shoulders slunked while I was staring at my black mirror
Vanquish down the rabbit hole of snapchats and newsfeeds
Instead of sitting alone with my thoughts, like a human being
I'm probably just a hippie, but it was changing me
Getting views, likes, and comments almost became a game to me
Was caught up thinking 'bout life, so I just came to say my piece
I hated who I was before, but I'm proud of who I came to be

[Outro]
Alright, let's wrap it up
We change over time, and I'm damn happy for that
