don't put the onus on me anymore

heard my name in use to you help up the score

i gave the slip to sleep because i toss and turn

i'm tryna fight back tears with all my lessons learned

cause frankly i'm just terrified

and maybe i should leave it there and say goodbye

please let me heal in peace cause today i cried

i cried-

we all need someone

to talk to sometimes

and you just need someone

to talk to sometimes

and tell them what's on your mind

don't ask me what i think if you're not willing to listen

recommended therapy but it seems like you're fishing

and what's a friendship's worth if i'm just doing their bidding?

asked to choose once before and i just thought they were kidding

casey dropped mixed emotions and everything became different

isolated myself because i thought i was finished

too much changed in a month and i was losing my spirit

i didn't eat for a month i dragged myself every minute

i went on tour, i'm just kidding, but i was going though stages

i felt so stuck in a loop without new faces or phrases

i had to do something soon before my book had no pages

i had to do something soon knew it was time for some changes

i woke up sucking a lemon and yet i kept moving forward

three times a week we'd discuss-

my thoughts, my stress became lowered

after working for months i could take life a bit slower

finally and for once i felt my life wasn't over

yeah

ooo, ooo, yah, oo

i fought alone it didn't work for me, yeah

you fight alone but still you needed me, yeah

i fight your wars and i fight for me, yeah

ooo, ooo, yah, oo

save for a title it's time to work on you, oh

young ex wives it's time to work on you, oh

it takes time but you must work on you, oh

we all need someone

to talk to sometimes

and you just need someone

to talk to sometimes

and tell them what's on your mind

don't put the onus on me anymore

heard my name in use to you help up the score

i gave the slip to sleep because i toss and turn

i'm tryna fight back tears with all my lessons learned

please let me heal in peace cause today i cried

i cried-

we all need someone

to talk to sometimes

and you just need someone

to talk to sometimes

and tell them what's on your mind

it's hard to hear your friends struggle but still refuse any real change

it's giving running in circles still insisting it's not strange

it's hard to put in this work and still for them i'm a free sage

it's hard to be so mature while all i see is my friends age

maya once said i fight my own wars and theirs

she said my scales need balance and to myself it's not fair

that i'm overextended for people who wouldn't care

if i vanished tomorrow just- poof, into air

my mother then told me i gotta put myself first

i gotta travel the world before i make myself worse

guilty for my weakness- generational curse

my therapist helps me out and puts it all in reverse

so as i rebuild my world i urge you to do the same

don't down play the journey just because you're in pain

don't set all us back with more guilt and more shame

cause we all need someone at the end of the day

yeah

ooo, ooo, yah, oo

i fought alone it didn't work for me, yeah

i fight your wars and i fight for me, yeah

ooo, ooo, yah, oo

we all need someone

to talk to sometimes

and you just need someone

to talk to sometimes

and tell them what's on your mind

were you waiting for me to come into the sky?

it's been too long since we last said goodbye

i've missed our meetings and quiet conversations

since then I've come to countless realizations

does it surprise you i've shadowed your

journey? i saw each time you'd look up towards me

i'm on my own, she is not waiting for me; ironically, this is all i ever wanted to be

i won't walk the earth just to reach her, she belongs to constellations, not the key to my future

i stopped running from what can't be escaped, learned to accept the past cannot be changed

good has always existed around me, friends, the summer, in late night talking

parts of myself i thought had vanished, reconnected and revealed themselves as if time never happened

attaining peace of mind is enough to calm waters

not something that can be brought by a celestial daughter

life has meaning, if that's what i give it, it's all in myself, the will to keep at it

all along, it wasn't me that you needed

only a sense of purpose and a journey to believe in
