Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He was late nights, wrong crowd, cold floors
Talking big talk, heart small, closed doors
Every mirror was a fight, I’d dodge my own face
Blaming everybody else for my choices, my waste
He was backseat, chain smoke, dead stare
Saying “one day, I’ll change” like hot air
Left messages on read, left family on seen
Had a good heart buried in a bad routine
[Chorus]
I gotta bury the old me, he ain’t me no more
Throw the dirt on the doubts, let ’em sink in the floor
If you looking for that kid, you gon’ knock on the past
I put a shovel in my shame, I ain’t going back (nah)
I gotta bury the old me, say a prayer, then leave
Cut the ties to the lies that I used to believe
If you love who I was, you can keep that ghost
I’m standing in the sun while he fades in the smoke (yeah)
[Verse 2]
He was “trust me,” then break it in a week
He was loud in the crowd, but empty when he’d speak
He was scrolling through the pain, laughing in the scroll
He was quiet in the car, storm inside his soul
Now I’m digging in the dirt, hands raw, chest tight
Every bad habit screaming, “you can’t live right”
But I’m done with the drama that I wrote myself
I signed my own letter, put him back on the shelf
[Chorus]
I gotta bury the old me, he ain’t me no more
Throw the dirt on the doubts, let ’em sink in the floor
If you looking for that kid, you gon’ knock on the past
I put a shovel in my shame, I ain’t going back (hey)
I gotta bury the old me, say a prayer, then leave
Cut the ties to the lies that I used to believe
If you love who I was, you can keep that ghost
I’m standing in the sun while he fades in the smoke (let him go)
[Bridge]
Laid him down
No flowers, no speech
Just a name on a page
That he’ll never repeat
Laid him down
One tear, then breathe
If they ask who I am
Tell ’em “watch and see”
[Chorus]
I gotta bury the old me, he ain’t me no more
Throw the dirt on the doubts, let ’em sink in the floor
If you looking for that kid, you gon’ knock on the past
I put a shovel in my shame, I ain’t going back
I gotta bury the old me, say a prayer, then leave
Cut the ties to the lies that I used to believe
If you love who I was, you can keep that ghost
I’m writing out a life that he never could hold (yeah)

Hook opens up with layered male vocals and wide, echoing ad-libs. Second half brings in subtle choir pads and extra percussion for a climactic lift, then strips back to kick, bass, and voice for the final bar., hip hop
