I'm the one that taught you stand straight with your shoulders back Talking bout me to whats his name ain't really getting back (Big facts) Damn, he and I both know that And now we're not even close I gave all my time away to hope Let my tears dry on their own Somewhere out there was a place I called home And now we're not even close (I'm tired of losing it) I gave all my time away to hope (Never knew what the fuck to do with it) Let my tears dry on their own (Why would I leave what made me?) Somewhere out there was a place I called home (I just couldn't leave my city) I'm tired of losing it Never knew what the fuck to do with it Why would I leave what made me?

Somewhere out there was a place I called home (I just couldn't leave my city) I'm tired of losing it Never knew what the fuck to do with it Why would I leave what made me?
