[Intro]
Used to laugh it off
Used to say “I’m good”
Whole crew on smoke
Whole block said “you should”
[Verse 1]
Lost days
Ash in the tray, phone on mute
Mama pray for me
I just play it cute
Same fight
Same street, same stain on the wall
Said I’d change
Every time that I start to fall
Cold eyes in the glass
I don’t look too long
Blame luck, blame love
Blame every sad song
You called
I let it ring, let it ring, then gone
Thought you’d stay anyway
Thought I could do you wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
How many lies I tell myself?
“It’s fine, I’m fine, I’m fine” (yeah)
Running in circles till I
Trip on the same old line
[Chorus]
I never learn
Till I lose something close
Till the one that I love
Turn my name into ghost
Had to watch you walk away
Just to see who I am
All this time I was the fall
Now I’m learning how to stand
I never learn
Till the flame burn out
Till the hand that held me
Ain’t there when I’m down
But you turned me around
You turned me around
Lost you, found me
I’mma make it now
[Verse 2]
Late text
“You awake?” typed, then erase
Pride heavy
Like chains on my face
Your keys on the table
Your cup by the sink
All these tiny little things
Make it hard just to think
Crew say “slide, we outside”
I just shake my head
Used to chase every high
Now I’m scared of the edge
Lesson written in the loss
Cut deep like a blade
Could’ve had a new life
I was stuck in my ways
[Pre-Chorus]
How many nights I waste my breath
Talking tough, acting blind
Had to lose you to the dark
Just to see the warning signs
[Chorus]
I never learn
Till I lose something close
Till the one that I love
Turn my name into ghost
Had to watch you walk away
Just to see who I am
All this time I was the fall
Now I’m learning how to stand
I never learn
Till the flame burn out
Till the hand that held me
Ain’t there when I’m down
But you turned me around
You turned me around
Lost you, found me
I’mma make it now
[Bridge]
Heart beat
On the floor like drums in a war (hey)
I was aiming at the sky
Shooting holes in my door
Now I’m face to the ground
Both knees on the tile
If I ever get you back
Every step, every mile
Gonna move with focus
Gonna guard that light
‘Cause the wrong choice simple
But the right one fight
[Chorus]
I never learn
Till I lose something close
Till the one that I love
Turn my name into ghost
Had to watch you walk away
Just to see who I am
All this time I was the fall
Now I’m learning how to stand
I never learn
Till the flame burn out
Till the hand that held me
Ain’t there when I’m down
But you turned me around
You turned me around
Lost you, found me
I’mma make it now (yeah)
