[Intro]
Used to wake up on the floor
Phone full of missed calls, heart sore
Thought I’d never see the day I’d change
But I’m tryna turn the page
[Verse 1]
Pill bottles by the toothbrush
Lied, said I’d quit, but I’d do two
Eyes red in my mom’s truck
She said, "Boy, this ain’t you"
Cold sweat on a warm night
Hands shake when the sun rise
Friends fade like a bad high
All I had was a stash and a sad lie
[Chorus]
I was lost in the dark, in the deep end
Chasing one more hit, never peace, man
Every promise I made, I’d break it again
’Til I almost lost my life, not just my friends
Now I’m staring at the sky, I can breathe again
All the ashes on my soul, I can clean again
If I fall, I’m getting up, I believe again
I believe again (yeah, I believe again)
[Verse 2]
Court dates, cheap suits, cracked shoes
Judge saying, "Last time," meant that too
Therapist asking, "What you running from?"
I just stared at the floor, said, "Everyone"
Saw my brother with his kids like
That should’ve been me, right
Trading birthdays for a cheap ride
Trading real love for a quick high
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to half-time, vocal almost a whisper]
Hard truth, I was scared to feel
Easier to drown than to try and heal
But the pain never left, it just changed its face
Same hole in my chest, just a different taste
[Drums build back in]
[Chorus]
I was lost in the dark, in the deep end
Chasing one more hit, never peace, man
Every promise I made, I’d break it again
’Til I almost lost my life, not just my friends
Now I’m staring at the sky, I can breathe again
All the ashes on my soul, I can clean again
If I fall, I’m getting up, I believe again
I believe again (oh, I believe again)
[Outro]
Still a long road, but my eyes clear
Got scars, but at least I’m still here
Every “no” that I say, that’s a win now
Used to die for the high, choose to live now
