[Intro]
Yeah
Been running from myself a long time
Now I’m walking back
Slow
[Verse 1]
Stared at my own face in a cracked screen
Timeline full of jokes, but I lack peace
Scroll till my eyes burn, still I can’t sleep
Ghost in my own house, that’s a bad dream
Talk tough, but my habits say the opposite
Say “I’ll change,” then I’m chilling in the obvious
Blame it on the past, or the place that I came from
Hand on my chest like, “When you gonna take some?”
I’ve been ducking every mirror like it owe me
Afraid of what I’ll see if it show me
Every little lie that I sold me
Every missed call from the old me
[Chorus]
I’ve been talking ‘bout change, now it’s time I change
I’ve been running in place, had to step off the race
Self reflect, self respect, let it rinse my pain
(yeah, yeah)
If I wanna heal wounds, gotta face that blame
If I wanna feel peace, gotta sit with the shame
Self reflect, self correct, I’ma make that change
(make that change)
[Verse 2]
Caught me mid-thought, heart heavy like a backpack
Every old hurt stuffed deep, that’s a back tax
Mind on replay, reruns of the bad acts
But I can’t heal if I only ever backtrack
So I breathe in, count slow, feel my lungs rise
Watch ‘em fall, let the storm in my skull quiet
Every single breath like a small truce
Learning how to listen when I talk too
I ain’t perfect, I ain’t tryna be a postcard
I just want days where my chest ain’t a cold yard
Learn to forgive, first person on the list: me
Learn to let go so the past doesn’t pimp me
[Chorus]
I’ve been talking ‘bout change, now it’s time I change
I’ve been running in place, had to step off the race
Self reflect, self respect, let it rinse my pain
(oh, let it rinse it)
If I wanna heal wounds, gotta face that blame
If I wanna feel peace, gotta sit with the shame
Self reflect, self correct, I’ma make that change
(make that change, yeah)
[Bridge]
Mindful in the morning, feet on the floor
Thankful that I woke, that I get one more
I don’t need to be loud to be sure
Quiet in my chest, that’s the cure
(yeah, that’s the cure)
[Chorus]
I’ve been talking ‘bout change, now I live that change
I was running in place, now I’m breaking the frame
Self respect, self connect, wash away that pain
(let it fade)
If I wanna heal wounds, I accept my blame
If I wanna feel peace, I forgive that shame
Self reflect, self correct, I’ma make that change
(I’ma make that change)
