I feel like a leaf just blowing in the wind
No destination, no control
I'm just along for the ride...
I feel like I'm tumbling down a flight of stairs with nothing to grab onto.
I'm reaching out, but I'm falling deeper into the darkness.
Now, I'm just along for the ride.
Though there are highs to compliment the lows,
They are full of temporary "highs" and quick blows
Cause I was just along for the "ride"
Searching for companionship to combat the loneliness I felt when he left me,
I began to hate the fact that I loved to love
But I loved the fact that I hated the hate that was left in my heart.
Was trying to get off this emotional roller coaster
Though now I'm just along for the ride.
I'm looking for love and tryna find my faith.
I'm looking to God to find my place.
Everybody's telling me to be patient, but nah, fuck that
I can't slow my pace!
I'm stressed out, I'm going crazy, I'm out of my mind.
But I'm on my journey to success, I gotta catch this tide cause I'm racing with time...
But until I reach my final destination,
I'm just along for the ride...
