Lyrics
I won't try to dance around it
I won't try to avoid the issue
I don't have the time
I'm too busy for it
I know it's been hard to count in
I understand it's been challenging to believe in
You don't have to lie
You don't need to deceive
I'm better on the outside than in
I present a better image externally than internally
If your heart still ain't skipping a beat
If your heart is not excited
They'll never listen
Others won't pay attention
I'll give them the air to breathe
I'll give them space to breathe
It's on the nights that I've been fired up, you're tired yeah
On nights when I'm energized, you're fatigued
Don't think I'd ever make you see it like I would
I doubt I could make you understand as I do
I used to be the man down what's next
I used to be in a difficult situation, what comes next?
Tell my hometown I made it
Inform my hometown that I've succeeded
Write my name on the checks
Put my name on the checks
When we go out I'm paying
When we go out, I'm covering the expenses
For all the days I've spent
For all the days I've lived
I'm getting far in my head
I'm progressing in my thoughts
Why all the stressing? I know that I'm better
Why all the worrying? I know I'm better
Always greener on the other side tell me but I know
It always seems better on the other side, but I know
I've gotten used to cutting ties
I've become accustomed to ending connections
Used to be alone
I used to be lonely
And my momma told me every time people come and go
My mom advised me that people come and go
I'm tired of staying inside and fighting on my own
I'm tired of isolating myself and fighting alone
I thought about quitting twice, yeah ain't it nice
I contemplated giving up twice, ironically
I hung em' thought you were right
I hung them, thinking you were correct
So badly drained I ran away
Feeling exhausted, I ran away
All bottled up like lemonade
Emotionally suppressed like lemonade
You're cold as ice, sharp like a knife
You're emotionally cold, cutting like a knife
Said "not enough" but never tried at all
Said "not enough" but never attempted
(At all, yeah)
(Not at all, yeah)
Oh how I wish we could go there
Oh, how I wish we could reach a better place
Tell me what you want
Tell me your desires
And I bet you didn't know that we've been on and off
And you probably didn't know we've been inconsistent
I know we're going nowhere, tell me what you want
I recognize we're not progressing, tell me what you want
You barely ever go back anymore
You seldom return anymore
I used to be the man down what's next
I used to be in a difficult situation, what's next?
Tell my hometown I made it
Inform my hometown that I've succeeded
Write my name on the checks
Put my name on the checks
When we go out I'm paying
When we go out, I'm covering the expenses
For all the days I've spent
For all the days I've lived
I'm getting far in my head
I'm progressing in my thoughts
Why all the stressing? I know that I'm better
Why all the worrying? I know I'm better
