Lyrics

Running from the pain but it follows me still
Dreams in my head that I wish were real
Cold nights, no sleep, tryna chase that thrill
But the voices in my mind tell me sit, be still
Pouring liquor on the table, let it wash my sins
Every time I let her in, feel the walls cave in
Said she love me, then she ghost — that's a cycle again
But I'm numb to the hurt, so I play and pretend
Shawty, why you gon' be like this? Take my heart and rip it apart like it's nothing, yeah
Tell me why you're leading me on when you know I'm here I always been there, yeah, that's okay
Come and steal, uh
Take me far away, shawty just love me now
I don't understand why she feels so down
Looking at my face, said she love me now she hate
Looking at my face like I'm a disgrace
Cups at night, yeah I pour away
Looking at this mic, it's the only thing I hate
I don't care, okay... I don't care, okay
I don't care, okay... I don't care, okay, uh
I put pain in the bars, let the beat translate
All the scars on my soul that the world can't take
If the love ain't real, then the bond gon' break
But I keep my head high, though my hands still shake
Got demons in the dark, tryna call my name
But I rise through the fire, I embrace my flame
If she leave me in the dust, I won't bow to shame
I'ma paint my own sky, I'ma carve my lane
Shawty, why you run when I need you close?
I've been bleeding in my chest but I don't let it show
If tomorrow never come, I just want you to know
That the love that I gave never felt so cold
Take me far away, shawty just love me now
I don't understand why she feels so down
Looking at my face, said she love me now she hate
Looking at my face like I'm a disgrace
Cups at night, yeah I pour away
Looking at this mic, it's the only thing I hate
I don't care, okay... I don't care, okay
I don't care, okay... I don't care, okay, uh
