[Verse]
I was all alone when I lost my way
It was me and purple haze I had nothing to say
And I know I been down I be waiting today
But it ain't happening today
Now I'm running away
Yeah I be running from my love
I be running from my heart
I know we can end but we have to depart
There's a needle in my veins and it feels so wrong
But what its giving me makes me feel so calm
Hey, [?] be on his way
I know you don't have time but it will be okay
You don't have to go now you know that you can stay
I'm Ricky Hil I'll be leaving this way
Babe, tell me how we are
I think its safe to say that we fell too far
At least I know that I played my part
Anxiety taking over cause I work hard
[Hook]
La la la, la la la, la la, la la (x3)
[Verse 2]
Telle these motherfuckers that i won't lose my tone
If they really think they know me then i won't lose my stone
I been on for too long get down with the downs
When it got too bad had to skip towns
If you know me then i know you know the sounds
Of the slow heartbeats and the frowns
This is all I got to give, this is how I live
Came a long way but they don't give a shit
All the while the window [?] closing
Would you kill me if i left my heart open
Lately its been cold and frozen
Die before we live that's the slogan
I been waiting longer than I shoulda
Coulda, you didn't but you woulda
At least I got this [?] still with us
Tell me where to leave off for pick up
I've just strapped a weight on my shoulders
My mama can't believe what I told her
Told her that I'm anxious and colder
And I don't think I'll see her 'til its over
You know I'm a rolling stone I got my pride on my shoulder
Never leave me alone like I said if you know me then you know I'm in my zone
I can feel it in my lungs and I feel it in my bones
Here man I'm super low
And these dreams are believable
Real shit I think I felt this way before
Ended up that I was crawling on the floor
Its like
[Hook]
La la la, la la la, la la, la la (x3)
[Verse 3]
Listen to the rhythm in my head
I was burning I was dying in my bed
They don't hear me then they're leaving me instead
They don't like me then they love me instead
I don't need them haters anymore
They been down and their hope is on the floor
Tell my mother that I love her forever
If she leaves then we're leaving together
I don't need no one else in my life now
This is how I get down 'bout to get down
Aye, get down with the get down (x2)
I was all alone when I lost my way
It was me and purple haze I had nothing to say
And I know I been down I be waiting today
But it ain't happening today
Now I'm running away
Yeah I be running from my love
I be running from my heart
I know we can end but we have to depart
