Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All my friends and family know I mean nothing but well
They always stuck by me even though I put them all through hell
See, hurting you hurts me so much more, I'm burning, can't you tell?
You need to learn to love yourself, before lovin' anyone else
[Verse 2]
And that's why more time
I'm stuck in this darkness just to hide from the limelight
I wish there was still a place that I can call my home
Starin' at my reflection through the cracks in the mirror
I'm no longer the man that you used to know
[Verse 3]
My blood is drippin' and my words written in stone
You can try crush me, but you'll never crush my soul
Get me outta this darkness, give me back the spotlight
'Cause why lie?
This is all I know
[Verse 4]
Oh, oh
This shit's all I know
Oh, oh
This shit's all I know
[Verse 5]
We all make mistakes, forgive me
This life  this life tore me in two
'Cause when I lost myself and had no hope left
Your love pulled me through
[Verse 6]
Now that's a perfect combination of miscommunication
They tried to misjudge me up to now
Just cause I kept missing probation
And here's me trying to give you more
When you've already had all of me before
Since when has it been all for one
I swear it's meant to be one for all
'Cause no one should love any one more than they love themselves
[Verse 7]
And that's why more time
I'm stuck in this darkness just to hide from the limelight
Wish there was still a place that I can call my home
Starin' at my reflection through the cracks in the mirror
I'm no longer the man that you used to know
[Verse 8]
My blood is drippin' and my words written in stone
They can try crush me, but they'll never crush my soul
Get me outta this darkness, give me back the spotlight
'Cause why lie?
This is all I know
[Verse 9]
When you make hella money it's easy to change
I wish I never let that shit get to my brain
I was this close to losin' it all cause I was a fool
Blinded by the fame, distracted by the lights
Always in the wrong, thinking that I'm right
Lost in my thoughts, feeling useless
Trying to justify my actions with excuses
That's the story of my life
That's for those who really care if I"m doing well
I have found happiness within myself
Oi, it's like all of this shit needed to happen
Just so I could finally come out my shell
[Verse 10]
Just get me outta this darkness, let me enjoy the limelight
Wish there was a place that I can call my home
Starin' at my reflection through the cracks in the mirror
I'm no longer the man that you used to know
[Verse 11]
My blood is drippin' and my words written in stone
They can try crush me, but they'll never crush my soul
Get me outta this darkness, give me back the spotlight
'Cause why lie this is all I know
[Verse 12]
Oh, oh
This shit's all I know
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
This shit's all I know
Ooh
