[Chorus: RoZe]

See, I took life for granted

'Cause I didn't think the day would come

Where I would be right here standin'

In front of my friends and all of my fans


[Verse 1: Abstract]

You know I question your tendencies

Drop a new style, you're dead to me

You said you'd never change; you said you'd stay the same

How could you fuck up the recipe?

Sent you a message in June—and you left me on read

Before these numbers we'd talk everyday

I guess we related back then

You pulled me out of my darkness when she fucked me up and you know I was stuck in my head

When I couldn't take anymore, I would go to my room and play you while I cried in my bed

I bought every piece of merch that you dropped

Stayed up late to be the first that would cop

I just took it all some miles out of town

Burned it all in an abandoned parking lot, fuck!

Couldn't stand another second with it

Wasn't sure what I was rappin' with it

How the hell are people rockin' with it?

How you makin' all this pop rap? You're supposed to be a fuckin' savage with it

Guess you're onto better things these days

Maybe you'll come back to earth one day


[Chorus: RoZe]

See, I took life for granted

'Cause I didn't think the day would come

Where I would be right here standin'

In front of my friends and all of my fans


[Post-Chorus: RoZe]

Singin', "I will never let you down"

"I will never let you down"

"I will never let you down"

"I will never let you down"


[Verse 2: Abstract]

What's up? I just wanna say sorry

Been a few months, I was goin' through things

I was lonely and mad you had a new thing

"No Ghost" made me wanna wrap a shoestring

Around my neck and take that jump

So I loaded all your merch in my goddamn truck

And, like I said, burned it—so fucked up

But let me explain before I get choked up

See, I didn't have no one at the time like you

I was jealous that I ain't have a girl like you

I'm so sorry, I shoulda been proud of you

At the time, guess I didn't know what love could do

See, I met somebody and she changed my life

Funny thing is, she listened to you

"No Ghost" gotta be like her favorite tune

And with her in my life, it's my favorite too

See, I guessed as you grew; I got left behind

Shoulda followed the clues that you left to guide

Just took a little bit for me to see the signs

But now I feel like we're back, livin' side by side

So, no matter where you go, I'll catch up in time

Don't worry 'bout me, I'ma be just fine

Love the new stuff, we know all the lines

By the way, send hoodies—I'ma need two, signed


[Chorus: RoZe]

See, I took life for granted

'Cause I didn't think the day would come

Where I would be right here standin'

In front of my friends and all of my fans


[Post-Chorus: RoZe]

Singin', "I will never let you down"

"I will never let you down"

"I will never let you down"

"I will never let you down"


[Outro: RoZe]

Never let (oooh)

Let you down (oooh)

Nooo (oooh)

No, no, no, no, no

Never let (oooh)

Down all the words you believed in me (oooh)

I will keep on strivin', keep survivin'

As long as I can breathe


[Chorus: RoZe]

See, I took life for granted

'Cause I didn't think the day would come

Where I would be right here standin'

In front of my friends and all of my fans
