Lyrics

Haven't felt the same since
2019, seven years in the making
I told you I was going places
But no one ever really cared to listen to me
I had all the reason to end things
Bury it all in a casket, with my thoughts I would drown in
Until I found love several years later I was so damn astounded
How could anybody love me
No money in my account
Going round looking out for some spare change
Even 50 cents was a blessing
I thought she wanted a wedding
No, she just wanted me for the spending
It got into my head
Now I'm loved like I'm back again
Twenty years round the corner still no better
I been on medicine, to kill the stress
My tolerance getting stronger though I'm still depressed
Sometimes I want to do things that I shouldn't but I know I'd be no better than
Baby I'd be no better than
You
I got to face the truth, now
Can't be letting my guard down
I'm obsessed with the blues yeah
Walking out late nights with you in the back of my mind
Told myself it's gonna be alright, find somebody worth the struggle
God what's the cost, what is the price?
To love, if there is one, am I right?
Confidence killing, how I've been feeling lately
Like a fish out of water, the sharks coming to bite me
You know how it feels, when you walk in my shoes
You run in my boots, you step into my life
See the things that you shouldn't see
And the books that you shouldn't write
I got to face the truth with you I can't go on alone
But baby promise me you'll stay
Cause I'm afraid of being lonely
It's killing me, the anxiety
The fear of being left behind
So I'm looking for somebody like, somebody like
You
I got to face the truth, now
Can't be letting my guard down
I'm obsessed with the blues yeah
Baby I'd be no better than you
I got to face the truth, now
Can't be letting my guard down
I'm obsessed with the blues yeah
It's gonna be alright
Ok?
Listen to me,
I will say these words however much I need to
To get my point across, but baby
You are going to be ok.
I can PROMISE you that
Don't let nobody tell you otherwise
Because you are
One of a kind
