Hurt pt.1

Yeah… (yeah)

Sometimes you get tired of explainin’…

Tired of hurtin’…

Tired of feelin’ like nobody hears you. (Nobody…)

This ain’t just a song…

This my life.

So let me tell it…

Never looking back, I can’t feel no more,

Tired of cryin’, tired of hurtin’, heart been through a war.

Tired of my feelings always being ignored,

Screamin’ on the inside while I’m staring at the floor. (Can you hear me?)

I gave love, gave trust, gave everything I had,

Still somehow I’m the one left feelin’ bad.

Smile for the world so they think that I’m okay,

Then the nighttime comes and that smile fades away. (It fades…)

So many nights I was alone with my thoughts,

Fighting battles in my head that nobody ever saw.

Tryna find peace, but my mind won’t stop,

Every time I build myself up, another memory drops. (Again…)

But when I ELEVATE… (Elevate!)

When I finally find my way,

I’ma remember every night

I prayed for better days. (I prayed…)

Every tear, every scar,

Every time I felt alone,

I’ma remember how it felt

When I had nobody home. (Nobody…)

I’m tired, tired, tired… (So tired…)

Don’t know what else to do.

So I put my hands together,

“God, I’m leaving this with You.” (With You…)

I pray and just believe

That a better day gon’ come,

’Cause I done walked through too much darkness

Not to finally see the sun. (See the sun…)

Never looking back,

I’m just tryna move ahead.

But that blank photo stays

Locked forever in my head. (In my head…)

Thank you to the people who actually cared,

The ones who saw me hurting and made sure they were there.

I can’t forget y’all, nah, that love stays with me,

When I felt trapped, y’all reminded me to breathe. (Thank you…)

But there’s still a battle going on inside my mind,

And no matter where I run, it ain’t far behind.

Hard to ignore when your thoughts get loud,

Feeling all alone even standing in a crowd. (All alone…)

People see the outside, they don’t know what’s within,

They see where I’m standing, don’t know where I’ve been.

Every chapter left a mark, every page got pain,

Every loss, every heartbreak still runs through my brain.

But I’m still here… (Still here…)

Still standing somehow.

Might not understand the reason,

But I know I got a purpose now. (I know…)

One day I’ma wake up and the pain won’t hit the same,

One day all these tears gon’ mean something to my name.

One day I’ma look back at the road that I survived,

And thank God through every storm

I somehow stayed alive. (Thank God…)

I ain’t saying I don’t hurt,

I ain’t saying I don’t cry,

I’m just saying every morning

I get another chance to try. (One more time…)

And when I ELEVATE,

I won’t forget where I came from.

Won’t forget those lonely nights

Waiting on the day to come.

But before I tell you where I’m going…

You gotta know where I’ve been. (Where I’ve been…)

Every scar got a story,

Every loss got a name,

Every memory made me

Who I am today.

So now…

Let me break down my life. (My life…)

From the beginning
