Lyrics

Making progress is the hardest part
When you're healing from a broken heart
Torn down by the smallest things
It'll make you wanna scream
So don't be silent,
Tell me the things that don't seem right
You're afraid we fail if we try
Maybe you're right
But out of the concrete roses grow
Your beauty so natural
Never met another soul like yours
Oohooh, oohooh, oohooh ooh,
Oohooh, oohooh, oohooh ooh,
Oohooh, oohooh, oohooh ooh,
Oohooh, oohooh, oohooh ooh,
We met we was too grown, that means we gotta move on our own
you try to carry my baggage until you see it unfold
Ain't a thing I was hiding, had to keep myself closed
Cause they days I was open was depleting my soul
Leaking on the highway, speeding out the driveway
Trying to control all the motions as they vibrate
My feelings too loud, every time I smile pain, just around the corner
Sometimes I wonder, why wait?
Then I pause to think about the motions that brought me here
Skating on the rink, wasn't smooth till I lost the fear
Then I lost the joy I found, discovering my own spirit
Lessons from the playground, it's only love when you share,
Maybe I'm a loose cannon, just give me a shot
Cuz it ain't always a hit, I give it all I got
I give you all you can take baby, it's been lost
Tryna hold down the forts I made so deep in my thoughts
I'm in a deep state, conspiracies get to me
In every freeze frame, I swear you light up the screen
But like a cheap date, maybe you're all that I need
To make a leap out myself and be closer to free
Feels like I'm already dead, I've been trapped in my head
Sometimes I wanna reach out, sometimes I wanna forget
When I get high on the couch, I feel alone in regret
But maybe all of my doubts are helping me in the end
I don't wanna overstep, I'm already uncomfortable
Trying to express in ways that's healthy and functional
Tell codependence is something I'm always working on
Because without instrumentals, my depression has stamina
And I couldn't deplete it, sometimes I still feel defeated
Only do half of my wants, the other half make me needy
If you're here in my thoughts, give me some kind of meaning
So even though I'm exhausted, I'll always keep reaching
Making progress is the hardest part
When you're healing from a broken heart
Torn down by the smallest things
It'll make you wanna scream
So don't be silent,
Tell me the things that don't seem right
You're afraid we fail if we try
Maybe you're right
But out of the concrete roses grow
Your beauty so natural
Never met another soul like yours
Oohooh, oohooh, oohooh ooh,
Oohooh, oohooh, oohooh ooh,
Oohooh, oohooh, oohooh ooh,
Oohooh, oohooh, oohooh ooh,
