Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Floor cold

Back to the door in my room

Phone off

Got a note folded up by my shoes

All black

Been rehearsin' this ending for weeks

Heart loud

You could probably hear it out in the street

Search bar glowin', I was lookin' up ways

Like, "If I vanish, do they still say my name?"

Told myself nobody cares anyway

Then I pictured my mom tryin' to clean my stains

Lil bro on the couch with the game on pause

Checkin' his screen when I don't text back

Best friend jokin' like "you ghostin' me?"

He laugh

But I know that joke turn flat

[Chorus]

I was one step off that edge

One text away from gone

But I heard my people call my name

Like a choir in my phone

I was right there, breakin' down

Whole world sayin', "just let go"

Then I saw my sister's face in my head

And I couldn't do it to her soul

[Verse 2]

Mirror talk, eyes red like I've never slept

Ask, "If you leave, who cleans up the mess?"

Not the room

The hole in they chest

Empty chairs at the table where I used to sit

Uncle still hurt from his brother last year

Ain't smile right since, every laugh sound weird

You gon' double that grief, make 'em carry that fear?

Got me shakin' with the blade, lookin' back in the mirror

I ain't say I'm okay, I ain't say I'm fine

But I put that weapon down when I thought of they cries

I can bleed on this page, I can scream on these rhymes

Better this than my mother havin' to read my "goodbye"

[Chorus]

I was one step off that edge

One call away from done

But I heard my people in my chest

Like a heartbeat holdin' on

I was right there, breakin' down

Whole world sayin', "just let go"

Then I saw my homies stand in the crowd

And I couldn't leave 'em in that cold

[Bridge]

If I go, who hold they hands?

Who explain what I became?

If I stay, it still hurts bad

But at least they still can say my name

So I'm breathin' in that pain (ugh)

Exhalin' all that shame

I ain't livin' just for me

I'm survivin' for they names

[Chorus]

I was one step off that edge

Both feet hangin' in the dark

But I felt my family pull me back

With the memory of their hearts

I was right there, breakin' down

Whole world sayin', "just let go"

Then I heard my little brother laugh in my head

And I chose to come back home
