lyrics

I been off of the same mix
You been off of me too
I’m still driving the same whip I used to drive to see you
I never know what to say when you look at me with those eyes
I used to think, yeah I used to think that all we had is time

I ran til my face hit the sidewalk
I feel like I’ve been down for so long
I should’ve known better than this by now
Maybe next time around

I never felt so alone like I used to feel in my home
I wonder why my old best friend is never hittin my phone
Thinking back to the times that I pictured all of this life
Yeah I wonder why
Yeah I wonder why I got new folks by my side

I broke down
I can’t stop to miss you
These two personalities get you
Day by day it’s hard but we get there
I wish I could make you proud

I ran til my face hit the sidewalk
I feel like I’ve been down for so long
I should’ve known better than this by now
Maybe next time around
Seems like it’s always the same cost
Beat up, shot down, and ripped off
I should’ve known better than this by now
Maybe next time around

I might never forgive you the way you sold me these lies
But lately I’m in a daze
Keep getting lost in the sky
Floating out in the ocean
No direction to go
At least I am immortalized through every word that I wrote

I know now I don’t get to pick you
I’m still stuck on things that we been through
We still see the stars through the same glare
Nothing left to feel right now

I ran til my face hit the sidewalk
I feel like I’ve been down for so long
I should’ve known better than this by now
Maybe next time around
Seems like it’s always the same cost
Beat up, shot down, and ripped off
I should have known better than this by now
Maybe next time around
