Lyrics

Yeah, praying for better days
Just to wake up and feel so depressed
I hope to get rid of pain, but it stays
Carving a whole through the heart in my chest
When talking 'bout happiness, put on a scale
I might be a three out of ten at my best
My thoughts are a mess, my life is a cliffhanger
Every night, can't predict what is next, I'm
Conflicted with my decisions, I stalled, instead of just living
I put my life on hold, 'cause I was comfortable where my life was sitting
Less motivated, I'm slipping, my dreams converted to wishes
My all or nothing attitude was stripped away and I was left in stitches
Joe knows the pain, I went missing, changed up the path, and my vision
I went from living in lows, to soaring higher than they cared to witness and
Now my grass is greener, and they think they know me, but I show em, I, still be living lonely
With a torn heart, that be healing slowly, I pray to God I see tomorrow morning
'Cause life isn't infinite, on this earth we got time that be limited
That's why I wake up, to go make a difference in people's lives where the lows they be living in
I'm not afraid of death, but I'm living with pain in my chest, and slowly I'm giving in
I'm in a bind, so tight I'm confined, my life isn't perfect, that's why I be living
To figure it out, I've been gifted with time, I found my own passion, and poof I was flying
My mind wasn't trapped, I let it roam free, so tomorrow morning I be able to breathe
And show that young kid that was living with dreams, that he became all he dreamt he could be
Showing that nothing in life is impossible, all that it takes is yourself to believe, yeah
I know I'm embarrassed, but I'd pass on love right now even in Paris
I got priorities, I gotta handle, 'cause time ain't gon slow down so people can manage
I went to a panic, two years ago damn I was damaged, lost every round with the cards I was handed
I, was looking for ghosts, I'm broken, left alone living abandoned, 'cause now
They ask where I'm at, like why don't you call, or why don't you text
You're never around, we never connect, It's like you abandoned us all in the wreck
I'm sorry but time, is precious to me, y'all study for tests, I study these beats
Y'all live for the parties, I wanna fill seats, across the whole country, I'm chasing this dream
I'm chasing a life, that ain't always green, but that means that I still be learning new things
I won't ever settle, there ain't no plan B, I differ from the norms, I don't need a degree
I'm living so differently, nobody knows what I mean, but one day they'll look at happened to me
And realize the moment I sell out the garden, that you can succeed when you follow your dreams
Life ain't about all the money, nah, life's about finding yourself
So don't let the close minded people tell you that you gotta go follow their route
Nah, take initiative, be who you are, even through all of the pain and the scars
They always said you should shoot for the moon, but my life is so bright, that I live in the stars
I've been looking at me, who's been looking at fear
Been hoping my goals are waiting in my rear view mirrors, closer than they might appear
I've been pacing, I'm patiently waiting for life to come back in my eyes, and the laughter to fill up my ears, yeah
I wanna live, I wanna get everything that they promised I'd never achieve
Show you can dream without being asleep
Show that you don't gotta drive with the traffic to get to the destination that you seek
Show to myself that young kid with a dream, grew up and became what he dreamt he could be
Show that nothing impossible, all that it takes is yourself to believe, yeah
