Just Being Me


If you paid me just a dollar For every waking thought I've ever had Baby don't hide your tears Don't hide yourself for just a guy Let it flow Let it cleanse your heart I guess it's my fault I wear my heart on my sleeve right You changed up like I changed clothes I don't let nobody close to me Wonder how you left me You left me feeling empty Cuz I be goin through so much pain Is it all worth it Tears keep falling Keep your fake love I don't need it anyway You keep tearing me apart Just a distant memory I no longer feel the need to say anything to you I'on want anybody close to me no more What the fuck I'm s'posed to say I remember late nights all alone Yeah I miss you but apparently I don't know the real you I remember every word you ever told me Can't stop thinking about you Thought you were different It don't matter anymore, Nothing you could do or say But it still hurts Your words mean nothing to me anymore U stabbed me Then acted like you're the one bleeding Consider what I feel like Thought you were different than before U can't handle my love I can't handle your lies Tell me why I'm waiting for someone, Who doesn't give a f✴️ck about me Who gave you the rights to play with my feelings? Nah Loyal but I ain't stupid Never caught a feeling this hard So sick of this fake love But I'm sick of waiting Yeah but where did I go wrong People change, Even Satan used to be an angel Can't believe I really thought U cared for me? Gotta stop putting my all into people just to get nothing in return I no longer feel shit I wanna say a lot but nah Tell me why I gotta say goodbye alone I can't control my feelings, but I hate how they control me If you want love you gon' have to go through the pain Nobody got no clue how broken we is You ruined me I lost myself Ruined my reputation I would die for you, Yeah I would die for you, but you can't even live for us Nobody got myself like I do Don't worry bout me... Well you never did but I got me Consider us done You sleepin, while I'm drowning in anxiety This pain is so strong Who knew evil girls got the prettiest faces First the pain hits, then it changes you Pain changes people I wish that I could let the world know That it's okay to let the pain show And even though times seem bad It always rains before the rainbow I wish that I could let the world know That it's okay to let the pain show And even though times seem bad It always rains before the rainbow
