[Intro: Lil Xtra, ?]

My psychopathic tendencies, they seem to get the best of me

I'd love to break your heart

You'll see, just stay the hell away from me

Hey, yeah


[Verse 1]

I thought you knew me

I thought that you knew I was fucked up

I told you over and over

All you would give me was tough love

When I was going through my worst

When I thought the only way out was a hearse

Everyone thinks that I’m so down to earth

But I know the power I hold in my words

They’re always so negative

I don’t want to be negative

I want you to know that you’rе relevant

That you matter and you’ll gеt ahead of it

That you can get past the impediment

That you’re made of more than just sediment

I know it’s rough with your parents, but

You got a chance of repairing it

I thought you knew me

You acted like you could see through me

I couldn’t believe you would actually choose me

I didn’t feel right for a month

You asked me to put up a front

Like why are you keeping this secret

Who are you hiding me from

I’ll do whatever you want

I know it’s never enough

I was up wishing for death again

Mom gets upset when I bring that shit up

But this isn’t fair to me

It’s fucking embarrassing

Ask where you were and you lied

I couldn’t do this to you if I tried


[Bridge]

Yeah, I don’t want to be negative


[Verse 2]

I thought you knew me

You honestly felt so familiar

Like we’d met each other before

In a dream that I couldn’t remember

What am I fighting this for

What am I really afraid of

I’ll never give up on myself

Some of us didn’t forget where we came from

I thought you knew me

I’m not a fan of commitment

You say it’s you or the music

Gotta take care of my business

And my feelings are valid

Even if you’re not about it

I finally know what I’m worth

Try to talk down on me, I won’t allow it

I don’t want to be negative

I want to tell you that you’re not defined by your past

People will notice you giving your max

Soon you’ll feel better the pressure will pass

You’re up to the task, I promise

I know that you’re giving the effort

You’re going above and beyond

Stressing about it till it makes you chest hurt

Everyone’s searching for peace

We cope with unhealthy release

I hope I’m helping you see that

All that you need is yourself and belief

But, my life is imperative

And I have to to take care of it

Asked who you were and you lied

I couldn’t do this to you if I tried


[Outro: Lil Xtra, ?]

My psychopathic tendencies, they seem to get the best of me

I'd love to break your heart

You'll see just stay the hell-
