[Verse 1: Grace D]
Independence fiendin'
Stubborn young adult
Big dreamin'
Thinking where did all my money go
I smoked it, let my mind afloat
Temporary babies fuckin w the vision crazy
But my focus nearly hazy
Gotta let them go and phase me
Sadness never leaves
Your face
Dreamin, happy endings
How - long - till you say
“I got this on my own
Scared to think of ways to grow
Push me and direct me
Mistakes grab my mind & soul
Talk me out this misery
Talk me out this misery Fuck me
Fuck me like you miss me
(I don’t got no feelings baby
Trying to persuade me)
Into happiness, your lights not bright enough to let go of this past that
This past that holds me tight”
Sadness never leaves your face
Dreamin, happy endings
How long will you stay
Till you got it on ya own?
[Verse 2: Killa-Stryder]
Girl I really miss your vibe
I'm really hoping that the love is still alive
I'm really thinking about being in between them thighs
But please do not compare me to all the other guys
Your loving was a blessing
I heard you loud and clear, girl I really got the message
If I was honest then you then you wouldn't have left me
Your mind is what I'm really obsessed with
Baby please don't judge me because I would have an objection
So Let's just cut the tension
What I really want is your attention
I see a future with you like we're the Jetsons
My life is really messed up but there's no second guessing
So let's leave it all in the past
Don't let time go by like sand through the hourglass
Gotta keep going till we turn to ash
Before we part there's a few things I gotta ask
Was it Worth it?
Did I help you reach your purpose?
Why does loving someone always hurt me
Am I the reason why relationships were never working
My mind ain't working
I don't really feel like myself cause this ain't me
Nah this ain't me
I really gotta wake up from this crazy dream
