Lyrics

[Chorus]
How can you love someone and learn to let them go?
How can we fall apart on things we'll never know?
Isn't it funny you can change your ways
For someone to fill in your empty space?
Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?
[Verse 1]
Yuh
I got somebody I love (Yeah)
Someone who's really important to me
But now they addicted to drugs (Damn)
Someone who not who they used to be
And we ain't been keeping in touch
I ain't gonna say any names at all
'Cause I don't want no one to judge
But I wrote this song, in hopes when they hear it
They'll never forget who they was
I hope you feeling your spirit enough
I wanna just tell you I love you in case that you really don't hear it as much
I know we ain't talked in a while
But fuck it, I really don't care what it was
I wanna reach out
But you keep on shutting me down
You ain't been caring as much
And what the fuck happened to you? (The fuck happened to you?)
You losing a fight?
I never thought I'd see the day that you'd let addiction ruin your life
Everyone calling that shit a disease and making you feel like you in the right
But I hate the fact that you really be using that as an excuse to do what you like
Or do what you might (Do what you might)
And I keep on praying and reaching for you (For you)
I hope you look in the mirror and see all the things I been seeing in you
Hope your reflection will send you a message and show you this shit is much deeper than you
If you don't believe in yourself, then you'll never believe in somebody believing in you
And I gotta tell you the truth (Tell you the truth)
'Cause I'm 'bout lose it (Lose it)
And you in denial about it and just wanna make up a million excuses
Tearing our family apart, when you leave a scar, then everyone bruises
Every decision affecting us all and if you get lost, then everyone loses
For real
And I'ma be next to leave
I know that God got a plan and he ain't fulfilling your destiny
As much as I need you, I will not be sticking around and watching you rest in peace
I promise I love you, but I gotta do what's best for me
[Chorus]
How can you love someone and learn to let them go?
How can we fall apart on things we'll never know?
Isn't it funny you can change your ways
For someone to fill in your empty space?
Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?
[Verse 2]
Look
I know you been calling for me
You hitting my phone, but I been alone so long, I'm harder to reach
I know you ain't say any names, but I gotta feeling you talking to me
I hate when these demons get into my soul
I feel like I'm caught in the beast
How do I let go of something I know that's bigger and stronger than me?
If I could be honest, I'll tell you the truth
I'm not who you want me to be
Nobody is perfect, not even you
So why you keep targeting me?
I feel like we can't even have a genuine convo without you starting to preach
Feel like a dog on a leash, it's not what I need
Living in hell, wondering when I gotta leave
Like how can I breathe?
And how you gon' tell me addiction's not a disease?
Fuck do you mean?
If it's not a disease, then why's it gotten to me?
It's not what it seems
But you always be making me feel like the problem is me
I'm not gonna be
Who you want me to be
Let God decide it for me, and speaking of God
How the fuck you know all of the plans he's got for me?
So gimme a break
I been inching away from tryna get out of this dream, I'm drifting away
How come you only there for me when I been tryna get clean?
My biggest mistake
Is me wishing that things were different, I feel like the drugs is made for sinning
That's why I been stuck in the same position
Fuck
I'm falling, but I cannot budge
Been wondering why I'm in love with a strange addiction
And why the fuck you always playing the victim?
'Lotta this shit that you hate to mention
It sucks that I had to change your vision
But ain't nothing left for me
So you could just quit addressing me
I guess this is just my destiny
So take me as I am, or let me be
I'm tired of you stressing me
'Cause, shit, I gotta do what's best for me
[Chorus]
How can you love someone and learn to let them go?
How can we fall apart on things we'll never know?
Isn't it funny you can change your ways
For someone to fill in your empty space?
Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?
