Lyrics

So tired of saying I'm sorry

I wanna die with a story

I wanna feel alive

I wanna see the light

I don't wanna fight

No, I do not wanna fight

No, I'm not ready to die

No, I'm not ready to die

Would you hate me if

If I set the world on fire?

If I set the world on fire?

Would you hate me if

If I set the world on fire?

If I set the world on fire?

I wish life had an undo button, wish I knew my father

The more I live my life, the more I realise I'm like him

I never knew him much besides an alcoholic addict

And that's the shit that scares me, and that's the shit I carry

I wish I knew affection that came from a father figure

I wish I wasn't so afraid to tell her that I love her

I hurt the hearts that came to me, I take and never give

And for all the pain that I inflicted, I cannot forgive

I never knew confessions, take it all, make it a lesson

(Never learn, let it burn)

Contentment in my wrecking

A lot of maybes, lotta ifs and hows and whys

I asked my mama why she crying, she said, "Boy, that's life"

You gotta be prepared, just know your truth and never lie

I look at me right now and wish I heeded her advice

I took the pussy route, I took the easy way out

You ain't no boy no more lil' boy, you gotta figure it out

If I had my way

To do it all over again

Would it turn out the same?

If I'd lost my way

Would you still take me in?

I'll take a chance for a change

Done with my head

Done with my heart

Now I'm just letting my soul speak

Skull to the floor

Talking to God

'Cause I do not know if I know me

And I do not know if I know what I want

Every step that I take, I'm still feeling depressed

Stuck inside of a prison, repeating the cycle of asking, "What's next?"

But out of depression came rhyming

And out of the rhyming came pressure

And out of the pressure came timing

And out of the timing came lessons

And out of the lessons came finding

And out of the finding came questions

And out of the questions came answers

And out of the answers came healing, forgiveness and understanding

That depression and rhyming and questions and pressure and timing

All led to a diamond

So tired of saying I'm sorry

I wanna die with a story

I wanna feel alive

I wanna see the light

I don't wanna fight

No, I do not wanna fight

No, I'm not ready to die

No, I'm not ready to die

Would you hate me if

If I set the world on fire?

If I set the world on fire?

Would you hate me if

If I set the world on fire?

If I set the world on fire? (Would you)

Would you hate me if

If I set the world on fire?

If I set the world on fire?

So tired of saying I'm sorry

I wanna die with a story

I wanna feel alive

I wanna see the light

I don't wanna fight

No, I do not wanna fight

No, I'm not ready to die

No, I'm not ready to die
