[Chorus]

Maybe it's the way that the moonlight hits your face

But I could see your future when I look in your eyes

Haven’t been myself in a long time honestly

But when I'm with you all the dark thoughts go outside

Always search for the imperfections on my face

The internet could really tear you down sometimes

I wish I had a time machine for past mistakes

Been working so much, forgot what it's like outside


[Verse 1]

Yeah

See I’ve been self-reflecting

About my own reflection

And why I'm never truly happy with my own progression

And why dеcisions that I make are always fucking wrecklеss

Scared that I'ma fade away before I ever count my blessings

Who woulda thought same kid that they laughed at

Would grow to be a fucking superstar with this pen and pad

I could see the future's looking bright, and shit, I'm grateful for this

Never knew I had a purpose, but with music I did

Back in 2017, shit, I was at my lowest

Had no drive, no self-esteem, and not a fucking clue where I was going

Driving on the road and started swerving, and I lost control

Angry at myself for past mistakes and never letting go

Is constantly a problem in a reoccurring [?]

For every "W" I gain tell me why I face defeat

Can never make myself proud, I let myself down

Hold impossible standards and always wonder why I drop the crown

Tell everybody you are strong and it's okay to break

But here I am, a fucking hypocrite who doesn't know a thing

Searching for the answers, true we all got vices

Don't understand why past mistakes always got me in a vise grip

If you are battling depression, you are not alone

If you think no one will listen, I promise you’re wrong

When I get low and need escape I put it in these songs

Have some growing up to do, the fallen leaves are broken thorns, yeah


[Chorus]

Maybe it’s the way that the moonlight hits your face

But I could see a future when I look in your eyes

Haven't been myself in a long time honestly

But when I’m with you all the dark thoughts go outside

Always search for the imperfections on my face

The internet could really tear you down sometimes

I wish I had a time machine for past mistakes

Been working so much, forgot what it's like outside


[Verse 2]

Wish I took my own advice

Wish I wasn't caught up stressing if this gets a like

Wish I wasn't worried if I’m a likable guy or just an artist that nobody likes

I wish I didn't care about opinions, but I take that shit to heart

Wondering if people even listen to the art

Pick apart my verses, tired of uneducated folks who give opinions

Who are you to tell me that I'm worthless?

One thing's for certain

No one loves you 'til everyone does except a few

I'm closest to the ones who had my back before the music

People only see the current situation blinded by the view

But sunshine is just covering what's under the surface

Large houses with empty rooms

Artists are driven crazy from lack of humanity this generation blooms

Take a second, remember we're human

If you have the time to tweet about my life then you ain't doing shit

Take a sec and remember we're human

Look yourself inside the mirror then speak to me you miserable bitch

See, every song I wrote has a purpose

A good message for the youth because we need change

It might get dark sometimes, but that's where life is

Hurt people hurt people 'cause of their own pain

I've never met a lost soul that could not be found

There's always hope and another way to turn around

You don't need to be a star to succeed in life

It's really true the saddest people often hold the crown, yeah
