## Intro
*(Soft piano melody with subtle bass)*
*(Ad-libs: "Yeah... it's like that sometimes...")*
## Verse 1
Try, try as I might, I can't keep you out of my fucking mind.
Cry, cry, if I cried all night, I'd still try to keep you in my sight with blurry eyes.
So lady tell me what you want from me,
Cuz you know I break my fucking back cuz I'm an old soul, might as well be 90.
And Lady, you know I know what we can be if we tried to keep our love healthy.
If we lived in a perfect world, I know we would have worked things through.
I could have still been with you, I could have still been there with you,
But instead I'm trying to decipher all the signs you've been showing,
And you've been messing with my head and keeping me from growing.
## Hook
Blurry eyes, can't see straight
Memories keeping me up late(can't sleep)
Try as I might, can't escape
This feeling I can't shake
*(Background vocals: "Can't shake... can't escape...")*
## Verse 2
Night after night, staring at the ceiling fan,
Wondering where we went wrong, where it all began.
Messages left on read, calls gone to voicemail,
Heart on my sleeve, but time's starting to detail
Every little moment that I thought we shared forever.
You moving on quick while I'm stuck in this weather,
Storm clouds following me, raining on my parade,
While you out there living life like our love never stayed.
I gave you everything, my time and my trust,
Now I'm just another chapter that's collecting dust.
## Bridge
Old soul trapped in these young bones,(old soul)
Fighting demons all alone.
If we'd just communicated better,(b-b-better)
Maybe we'd still be together.
*(Background vocals: "Together... better...")*
## Verse 3
You say I need to move on, leave the past behind,
But these feelings don't just vanish, they're entwined
With every fiber of my being, every breath I take,
Every morning that I struggle just to stay awake.
My friends all tell me that I'm better off without you,
But they don't know the half of what we've been through.
Lady, I still see the person I fell for,
Even when you're pushing me out the door.
Breaking my back just to see you smile one more time,
While you're out there acting like I've committed some crime.
## Hook (Repeat x2)
Blurry eyes, can't see straight
Memories keeping me up late
Try as I might, can't escape
This feeling I can't shake
*(Background vocals: "Can't shake... can't escape...")*
## Outro
Try, try as I might...
*(Piano fades with echoed vocals: "Blurry eyes...")*
*(Heartbeat sound slowing down)*
## Outro (Aggressive Freestyle)
Yeah, I'm done with the mind games and the sleepless nights
Blurry eyes, can't see straight
Threw away my patience, now I'm ready to fight
Memories keeping me up late
Been chasing your shadow like a fool in the dark
Try as I might, can't escape
Left me hollow and broken with these scars on my heart
This feeling I can't shake
These words are bullets and I'm aiming to kill
The memories that haunt me, yeah, I've had my fill
Your toxic patterns got me caught in your web
But I'm cutting these strings, getting out of my head
Blurry eyes, can't see straight
No more decoding your cryptic little clues
Memories keeping me up late
No more breaking my back just to get next to you
Try as I might, can't escape
This feeling I can't shake
I was an old soul dying in your twisted game
But now I'm rising from ashes, I'm not the same
So keep your distance, I'm not yours to control
I'm reclaiming my mind, my time, and my soul!
