Verse 1
We ain’t grow up in the same home
But every summer felt like home
Family functions, laughin’ loud
Cousins all around, we was proud
You knew my laugh, you knew my tears
From them scattered years on years
Time apart but still so close
That kinda bond you never supposed
Now I hear my name go cold
Like a door that won’t stay closed
I know my wrongs, I said them plain
Still you walked off and left the pain
Pre-Chorus
I owned my fault
I held it up
I said, “That was me”
I spilled my pride
You still stepped back
Like I was history
Chorus
Turned your backs on me
Turned your backs on me
Like I was nobody
Turned your backs on me
Turned your backs on me
That hurt don’t let me breathe
I did wrong, I own that
But why you do me like that?
Turned your backs on me
Turned your backs on me
And it still be killing me
Verse 2
I’m not saying I was clean
I made messes in between
I took the blame, I took the fall
I said, “I know I broke it all”
But blood still runs in my name
Why’d you let it turn to shame?
Why’d you leave me by the door
When I was begging for one more?
Pre-Chorus
I stood in truth
You stood away
And let the silence choose
I asked for grace
You gave me distance
Like that was all we do
Chorus
Turned your backs on me
Turned your backs on me
Like I was nobody
Turned your backs on me
Turned your backs on me
That hurt don’t let me breathe
I did wrong, I own that
But why you do me like that?
Turned your backs on me
Turned your backs on me
And it still be killing me
Rap Verse
Yeah
Same blood, same roots, now it feel divided
Used to link up every summer, now I’m uninvited
Heard you speaking on my name like you never knew me
Like them moments never happened, like you never grew me
I ain’t perfect, I admit it, I was lost in my ways
But I stood up in my truth, took the weight, took the blame
Y’all ain’t even try to hear me, just turned cold on sight
Cut me off like I’m nothing, like I ain’t worth the fight
Family ain’t just blood, it’s the love you keep
And the love went missing when it got too deep
Now I’m healing on my own, yeah I’m learning to stand
If I don’t got you beside me, I still got who I am
Bridge
I still remember Sunday plates
The same old jokes, the same old space
Now every phone call feel like glass
A little truth with a bitter taste
If I could take it back, I would
If I could make it right, I should
But you don’t gotta crush my name
Just to prove that I was wrong
Final Chorus
Turned your backs on me
Turned your backs on me
Like I was nobody
Turned your backs on me
Turned your backs on me
That hurt don’t let me breathe
I did wrong, I own that
Still I needed more than that
Turned your backs on me
Turned your backs on me
And it still be killing me
Outro
I know my wrongs
I know my part
But family hurt
Cuts to the heart
Turned your backs on me
Turned your backs on me
And I’m still here with the scar
