[Intro]
Wallahi I ain't learn
Same street
Same turn
Same burn (ya Rab)
[Verse 1]
Every time I choose wrong, I choose deeper
Same flame, new face, same reaper
Laugh it off, say "next time, I'm clever"
Next time comes, man, I double down ever
Threw trust in the air, let it crash on the floor
Told lies to myself till I swallowed 'em raw
Gold on my neck, but my heart feeling poor
Doors wide open, I still bang on the door
You were there from the mud, from the dust
Held my head when the world screamed "enough"
I was chasing quick wins, quick sins, quick rush
You were begging me to breathe, I was begging for the crush
[Chorus]
Had to lose you to find me
Had to watch you walk out just to see
All my wrong turns lining in a row
All my same mistakes saying "we told you so"
You were so close that it cut me
Now the distance in your eyes really taught me
All that pain came around, then it crowned me
You turned, I broke
That break finally found me (found me)
[Verse 2]
I was laughing at the warnings, glitch in my pride
Tuned out every voice that ain't fit my vibe
Every "bro, chill" got curved on sight
Every red flag looked green at night
Made the same bad bet, then I blamed the dealer
Made the same sad text, then I played the victim
You left, and the whole frame got clearer
Like the noise turned calm, every fault in the system
Now I walk past spots where we argued and prayed
Where you said "you will lose me", and I joked, "I’m straight"
Then the day really came, and my chest went cave
Had to stare at my ghost just to start getting brave (ha)
[Chorus]
Had to lose you to find me
Had to watch you walk out just to see
All my wrong turns lining in a row
All my same mistakes saying "we told you so"
You were so close that it cut me
Now the distance in your eyes really taught me
All that pain came around, then it crowned me
You turned, I broke
That break finally found me (yeah, found me)
[Bridge]
Now I move like I owe you this healing
Every right choice feel strange, but I feel it
If you hear this in a car, in the dark, just know
You were the loss that finally made me grow (ya Rab)
