The Gate (feat. Ruby Frost)

It's so hard say goodbye

Pretend I'm yawning

The hottest tears in my eyes

I'm just tired, right?

It's an early flight

I had a late night, packing up

Couple files I was backing up

Guess I'm starting to act up

It's tough enough as it is

If I don't go, I can't say that I lived

And then it will be impossible to forgive myself

If I don't try to make a better life for us, this biz

Is all I've got, I wish there was another way

Wishing that the industry was close to the home

'Cause every other day I'm second guessing myself

Asking if I really got it

My worst fear is that you'd ever be out of pocket

All I ever wanted to be was a bread winner

Everyday I stick around here, my chance gets slimmer

My faith gets thinner

And times something that you can't take with you

Wish I could take you low, take you low

It will be easier to carry this load

Take you low, take you low

It will be easier to carry this load

That's my plan

But it's boarding now, they just called out my name

So my feelings won't change

But there's just no more I can do for us

If my mind wants to stay

Pray to God you feel the same

Tell me no tears at the gate

Know that I'll be back again

Pray to God you feel the same

There will be no tears at the gate

If we don't try then we're not alive

But if I've cut the head off, then we won't survive

I hope this bond is strong enough to stop the guillotine

'Cause I know that you'll be missing all the little things

And so will I miss them, kiss in the morning, mister

I got the work, mister reassurance talks

The massage on my shoulders hurt

Missed your touch and it's nothing to replace that

Hope I'm never stupid enough to think I could forsake that

Do something I can't take back

I know you feel the same

I hear that worry in your voice, just know I feel your pain

Promise soon things'll all be real again

And we can visit all these places that remain

One thing's for sure, is my feelings will never change

This ain't simple but time is something that you can't take with you

Wish I could take you low, take you low

It will be easier to carry this load

Take you low, take you low

It will be easier to carry this load

That's my plan

But it's boarding now, they just called out my name

Swear my feelings won't change

But there's just no more I can do for us

If my mind wants to stay

Pray God you feel the same

Tell me no tears at the gate

Know that I'll be back again

Pray God you feel the same

There will be no tears at the gate

Pray to God you feel the same

Tell me no tears at the gate

Know that I'll be back again

Pray to God you feel the same

Tell me no tears at the gate
