Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I gotta be real with myself
I wasn't being real to myself
I still have scars that run deep
And I haven't spent any time healin' myself
No one around could feel what I felt
I felt stuck from puttin' fear in myself
I'm still gettin' burned, now I'm steamin' in Hell
God actin' like I'm not screamin' for help
[Verse 2]
I gotta get up
I could feel it in my gut, I wanna give up
I can't trust anyone, 'cause everyone switch up
I can't love anyone, 'cause everyone slip up
It's just me, don't got anyone I could hit up
All I dreamt of was seein' a stadium fill up
Because of me, every light in it gets lit up
Changin' the world through every lyric I spit up
[Verse 3]
But until a change happens in me, I can never change it
I turned fake, I got the balls to say it
I was ridin' waves, tryna get famous
A million plays, they know what my name is
Now I hate the stress that it all came with
My anxiety's high, and it's mad dangerous
I lost my girl, I could never save us
Being honest with yourself is the hardest, ain't it?
[Verse 4]
It's okay to admit when you're wrong and you're fake
It's okay to lose yourself when you make a mistake
It's okay to lose faith after a heartbreak
I can't say I'm perfect, if I did, I'm lyin' to your face
I'm a liar, and I lie every day
I act like I'm fine, but I ain't
Inside, I'm dyin' and I pray 'cause I'm only human
Yeah, what more can I say? (Damn)
[Verse 5]
I felt like I found me, but I'm lost again
I felt like I could do it without a friend
I'm a liar to myself
I'm a liar to myself, yeah
[Verse 6]
I gotta be real with myself
I wasn't being real to myself
I still have scars that run deep
And I haven't spent any time healin' myself
No one around could feel what I felt
I felt stuck from puttin' fear in myself
I'm still gettin' burned, now I'm steamin' in Hell
God actin' like I'm not screamin' for help
[Verse 7]
I gotta learn to
Accept the fact that there's no one to turn to
Accept the fact that the flame we had burned through
I fucked up bad, knowin' that, I don't deserve you
So many problems that we coulda sat and worked through
Wishin' that I wasn't the one that had to hurt you
So blind to that, I didn't see that from your view
And now I'm stuck with pictures that I sit and search through
[Verse 8]
And I heard you moved on, and I admit it's my fault
I'm sick of all the damage that I caused
I'm so sick of frickin' livin' inside of my thoughts
I'm blind to what I have and only see I lost
And I thought if I blew up I would be happy, well, I'm not
So don't even ask me
If it looks like I am, then I'm probably just acting
'Cause life is a movie, mine looks like a sad scene
[Verse 9]
I'm lyin' to myself when I say I believe
When truth is I didn't even see it in me
I would only rhyme if I was feelin' a beat
When I should just beat this villain in me
In raps, I be inner healer to me
I had nobody when I needed to speak
Hated my life that had no meanin' to me
I'm still dealin' with these demons in me
Thought I was found, but
But the real me needed to leave 'cause
[Verse 10]
I felt like I found me, but I'm lost again
I felt like I could do it without a friend
I'm a liar to myself
I'm a liar to myself, yeah
