Hey guys, say I know it's been a while But lately I've been going through some things
That's trying to break me down Lying when I smile
Shedding tears, but I ain't never make a sound
Cause I encounter lots of identities So-called friends turning enemies
Trauma from all the drama I heard laughter was the remedy
From all that pain, from all those days Falling on our face
I got them scabs too But lately I've just been picking at them
The sticks and stones they never break my bones
But what seems to hurt the most, was I love you
Don't wonder why I keep on pulling back when you reach out to hug me
I used to trust you
Flashbacks, trust falling left me backstabbed
Scars on my skin, you can see how far I've been
I couldn't comprehend why everything they promised just pretended
Turned my attention from some family and some friends
As if we being honest, I know what the problem is
I solved it once I learned just how to live Forgive this little sin in the skin
Cause what matters love, and always be here till the end
Just to show you like I told you It'll be just like how I said when I doubted
How you want my shoes but don't want to walk no miles in them
To find out what I thought was worth holding on
Which has pulled me along, back and forth So here I am, just know that I'm strong
Cause no matter right or wrong, I'm always still who I am
Follow your dreams, or you can follow anything
Cause everything isn't what it seems People placing titles, needing space from idols
Tired of being idle, people worry about what I do
I've been going through a cycle, don't worry if I like you
When my actions tell you how I love, I know I'll never say it enough
Maybe cause I never heard it enough But it is what it is, like it was what it was
Why I always gotta be tough?, when the situation's rough
Pray to God I know it's been a while
That I've been going through some things that's been trying to break me down
Lying when I smiled
Shedding tears and. Never heard me make a sound
Tell me what that's all about,
Don't you hold it all in
Don't you hold it all in
Don't you hold it all in
Don't u hold it all in
Pray to god I know it's been a while
Said I been going through something's
That's been tryna break me down
Lying when I smiled
Shedding tears but never heard me make a sound
