[Verse]
I was with you when you ran from the cops
How the fuck you think you got away from that
I’m the reason that your
Car was totaled just to
Show you that she would not
Fucking call you back
I’m the one who took you off the pills
Now you’re nightmares feeling way too real
I’ll get rid of your pain
If you’d listened to me
And killed yourself by the age of
Eighteen

[Chorus 1]
I talked to god, he said
Good things come to those who wait
Well I'm out of time and
Frankly had no time to waste
I ran into the devil earlier today
She told me that the spliff could take the pain away
But I’ll
Let him talk
One more time
Don't fuck this up

Ooh, okay!

[Verse]
I was there when you had all the pills and you were getting ready tryna end it all
Do you really think your mom would call at that exact time if I were not involved?
I don't understand why you’re reluctant to accept the help I try to offer you
My love shouldn’t be so new to you
I don’t know how to get through to you
Everybody hurts
Everybody knows I could set you free
You don’t have to burn
I won’t let you down open up to me
You can change the world; create
But you gotta break it first
No matter where you go
You take you with you
So you gotta make it work

[Chorus 2]
You think you have a piece of me
(Everybody hurts, I could set you free
You don't have to burn, open up to me)
I won't be swayed so easily
(You can change the world; create
But you gotta break it- break it)
You claim that you can set me free
(I was there when you had all the pills
Do you really think your mom would call?)
That’s difficult for me to see
(All you gotta do is have a leap of faith
Don’t you wanna be- don’t you wanna be happy?)

[Outro: Ryan Leahan]
Doves are struck by lighting bolts and then they'll
Burn in flames, ending in ashy graves
Birthing new ideas within my brain
Within my skull, that only I control
So I'll drown the doves, I'll dissipate the rain
Sail the ash aloft tears of strain
Towards fertile soil to plant in beds
I'm growing a garden in my head
It's all in your head

you can change the world; create

but you got to break it first
