Constantly dreaming of this new life
But how can I achieve when I'm scared to sleep
Knowing it's the cousin of death
I used to live life with no regrets
Now I take everything as a threat
You don't wanna be around me then you cheating
You wanna fuck with me bad but you always making me sad
Telling me about your dad like I'm that man from your past
Your last relationship left you scarred
But I'm not the one who played with your heart
Wanting to pick fights even when I'm in the right
I have everything under control I would never leave you with a hole
A hole in your heart like my past has done to me
I don't bring it up but I'm scarred from life
When no one has had my best interest in mind
I fended for myself acquiring new tools for my belt
When I learned how you felt a shock went through my soul
You seen me as the next fix to get you through the night
Never as a man capable of giving you the life you so desired
Playing with my heart like a bad kid would play with fire
When you knew love was my true desire
Showing you more and more about me
And slowly you trading it for attention
You want fans and clout
I just want a shout from a woman that loves me
Place her in my life and never would I think twice but to sacrifice
She'd never be enough to just suffice
Cause she's the woman I've been waiting for all my life
Happiness, peace, and prosperity is all I need in my life
When the roads been so rocky
A small pebble could through me off my tracks
Hollering roll over, roll over, roll over
When you left me
My life turned upside down
Praying for a line cause in my sorrows I drowned
Battling drug addiction
Mental turmoil
And the loss of my loved ones
Had my mind in a rut
Struggling to overcome a love that made me give up everything
Made me forget how tough my struggles made me
Never having guidance, I had to find my own path
Light the torch for my path I can't see my own footsteps
Beyond every breath I never knew what came next
1000 steps forward felt like a million in the wrong direction
What's a child to do when he lost the glue that held his family together
Putting a boulder on his chest that grew bigger and bigger with every breath
Losing time and time again I thought this was normal
A win against my turmoil I still have yet to see
Knowing I'd part the sea for anyone that claims they love me
