Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You are the reason
The reason I sing
I have to preserve you
'Cause you're my everything
Babe, I know I fucked up
Fucked with some empty cups
But you got your friends too
Better believe in it
Truth I'm up on my luck
Can't stop running amok
But you got your friends too
[Chorus]
I just want to thank you for saving my life, yes
I just want to thank you for all your advice
[Verse 2]
You are the reason, the reason I'm alive
I must bring you honor
If I don't, I'll die
I know I brought shame
Put a mark on your name
But you got your thangs too
Better believe it, I'm
Rising up from the flame
The phoenix that I became
But you got your thangs too
Oh, help me sing
[Chorus]
I just wanna thank you for giving me life, yes
I just wanna thank you for all your advice, yes
[Bridge]
Send me kisses when it's grey skies
It's been so long, look how time flies
If you love me, won't you let me know?
I've been tryna learn let you go
Call my name whenever tears fall
When you face your fears, you'll stand tall, whoa
Send me kisses when it's grey skies
Can't you see?
It's been so long, look how time flies
I'm spending all
If you love me, won't you let me know?
This time
I've been tryna learn let you go
Call my name whenever tears fall
Come with me
When you face your fears, you'll stand tall, whoa
I hope we can rewind
[Verse 3]
Know I'd take a bullet for you
No, you don't know what I go through
And I know you think you're kinda nice
Do you remember when I saved your life?
Don't come at me on some weak shit
It's time you stopped displaying weakness, oh, oh
[Verse 4]
Hey Mama
It's your second son, still the same
I ain't changed, Mama
I made some change
Times have changed on me
Times have changed
Minds have changed
And mine feels strange, Mama
I feel ashamed
What could I say to you face to face with my fate, Iost my fate
Face to face with my fate, Mama, I lost my faith
[Verse 5]
Isn't it nice?
Human sacrifice
The universe got it
I got too excited
And now we're taking life
Isn't it nice?
Human sacrifice
I hate consequences, that shit's too expensive
You keep chasing delight
Isn't it nice?
Human sacrifice
I take the easy way out every time
I don't deserve my own life
Isn't it nice?
Human sacrifice, oh yes
Say I'm a martyr
Charge that to my ego
I just want all the lights
