[Chorus: RoZe]

Another night slips away, in other words

I should say there are no words

You should say there are no words

Another night slips away, in other words

I should say there are no words

You should say there are no words


[Verse 1: Abstract]

Like don't you know, man? Don't you know it's long gone?

Like don't you know? Like, don't you know it's all wrong?

She's all gone

And she ain't coming back

When she was needin' you, you should have been right there for that

Now she headed home (headed home)

You still all alone (all alone)

Shoulda hit her phone sooner, she ain't textin' back

Didn't have time for that (time for that)

You would choosin' rap (choosin' rap)

Made that decision, didn't listen, now you'll live with that

'Cause she was there for you

When everything was headed south

Came back and you weren't the man you used to be all about

Blinded by the lights and your teenage fantasy

Weren't living for now, you were living for how it 'bout to be

You were 'bout to live that rockstar life

She coulda been your rockstar wife

And now you sitting home all night

All because you didn't grasp what was in your sight


[Chorus: RoZe]

Another night slips away, in other words

I should say there are no words

You should say there are no words

Another night slips away, in other words

I should say there are no words

You should say there are no words


[Verse 2: Abstract]

Are you happy? No, really, are you now?

Figure out all the shit that had you tripping out?

Got so ready for the lights

And then you chickened out

Said you were all about your dreams, what the hell you talkin' 'bout?

Didn't move, didn't make moves in the place you were

Weren't igniting anything, waiting for it to occur

It'd be nice, but you know that success is not an open door

Sitting at that opening, not sure who you were waiting for

Gotta bust through like you don't care what lies behind it

'Cause if you weren't lookin', you know that you won't ever find it

Listen to you

I mean, you go back and rewind it

Play your own tapes back, remember why you're fuckin' grindin'

It's to inspire youth; to inspire truth

It's to inspire "make a living off of what is you"

I mean, you're really givin' when you're really givin' you

So you gon' go and get it

Don't look back at what you'll lose


[Chorus: RoZe]

Another night slips away, in other words

I should say there are no words

You should say there are no words

Another night slips away, in other words

I should say there are no words

You should say there are no words

Another night slips away, in other words

I should say there are no words

You should say there are no words

Another night slips away, in other words

I should say there are no words

You should say there are no words
