[Verse 1]

I’mma tell this story with no mic around

You should congratulate me, it took a lot to write it down

I’d rather suffer in the noise than sit with quiet sounds

You want me walking in my truth, well I’mma try it now

You know I took a winding road with my mental health

And for the longest time I thought I did it by myself

The liquid running from my eyes is not a cry for help

I didn’t blink the whole time so I wouldn’t miss the exit

I got pulled over two minutes later, that shit was stressful

If you knew what I was high off of, you would’ve caved my chest in

Wish for protection over my life

Open my eyes, the cop said I hopе you learned your lesson

Not to bе speeding, for no reason

I had you on the phone heaving, felt like a heathen

I left my coat at home knowing it was cold

But knowing the place I had to go, I prolly wouldn’t need it

I tried to drive into a pole, I prolly didn’t mean it

But all of the shit I was seeing, my future being, had me agreeing

To skipping seasons, and prior events of that evening

Left me depleted, the way I treated it was treason

Kept my eyes on the clock so I wouldn’t miss the message

I saw your birth time last night, that’s classic misdirection

I know you don’t want shit to do with me

Since you decided you was through with me, I built a newer me

Now they’ll sit and sing all my songs instead of eulogy

Excuse my digression

I just got caught up in a text message I received while I was doing this session

The only thing better than knowing is just asking a question

Got a little off topic but that’s at my discretion

And it don’t take a whole lot for shit to grab my attention

It’s important that I tell you that so that the next part makes sense

Cause lately all my overthinking been relentless


[Verse 2]

Forgot to mention I was staying at my boy Wam crib

It wasn’t thirty minutes it wasn’t red in my eyes

Took an L ride to go and serve one of the guys

But something in the back of my head said something ain’t right

You ain’t picking up your phone, that ain’t much a surprise

Except the last talk we had, you said you wanted to die

I grabbed my keys off the counter now I’m speeding through lights

Held my motherfucking breath until my street was in sight

I ain’t had much experience talking you off a ledge

But the way we ended things, I thought I got in your head

Now my overthinking telling me it’s something I said

Cause that’s the same night I confessed to you just what I did

Maybe you thought I was right

Your car sat in the driveway, you must be alright

And now I’m kicking myself, I did a dangerous drive

But still something in my brain ain’t say that was a lie

Let me check the inside

All I heard was the song

Half glass full of wine, phone sat on the table

Heart doubled in size, but the beats ain’t stable

Man this must be fake, is what I’m telling myself

Our picture sat on the shelf

I tried calling your name but I couldn’t muster a yell

It give me chills thinking about how sequestered I felt

Every time I checked another room I covered my face

Tryna protect myself from something that I thought was the case

The conversations replay

How could I be so stupid leaving you there with your thoughts

Regardless of the times you left me fumbling in the dark

Saying it’s all in my head, not taking me serious

How the fuck we get here, you understood me as well

Oh how lonely we felt

I checked every room in the house thinking I’d find you a shell

But you was nowhere to be found, so I went back outside

I saw you walking up the hill and I just broke down crying

Overthinking
