Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Forward yesterday, makes me wanna stay
What they said was real, makes me wanna steal
Livin' under house, guess I'm livin', I'm a mouse
All's I gots is time, got no meanin', just a rhyme
[Verse 2]
Take time with a wounded hand 'cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal, I like to steal
[Verse 3]
I'm half the man I used to be
And I feel as the dawn, it fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
And I feel as the dawn, it fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
And I feel as the dawn, it fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
Half the man I used to be
[Verse 4]
Feelin' uninspired, think I'll start a fire
Everybody run, Bobby's got a gun
Think you're kinda neat then she tells me I'm a creep
Friends don't mean a thing, guess I'll leave it up to me
[Verse 5]
Take time with a wounded hand 'cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal, I like to steal
[Verse 6]
I'm half the man I used to be
And I feel as the dawn, it fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
And I feel as the dawn, it fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
And I feel as the dawn, it fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
Half the man I used to be
[Verse 7]
Half the man
[Verse 8]
Take time with a wounded hand 'cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal, I like to steal
[Verse 9]
I'm half the man I used to be
And I feel as the dawn, it fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
And I feel as the dawn, it fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
And I feel as the dawn, it fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
Half the man I used to be
Half the man I used to be
