lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish I could be high forever
I wish my parents would have stayed together
I really hope I'm not wasting my time
Or my nickels and dimes tryna spit these rhymes
And I really hope you're content and shit
I mean, really I just wanna vent and shit
I remember holding you until the time ran out
Then I would hold on to your words and your scent and shit
But we don't even really talk no more
And I guess it kinda still fucks with me
Cause I couldn't guess where you are right now
And you were sorta like a must for me
But I couldn't be who you wanted me to
It was always a lack of trust from me

[Pre-Chorus]
But I know, but I know
How It be, how it go, oh
And I wanna give up but they say
It'll be okay
It'll be all just fine

[Bridge]
I wanna believe 'em but it's strenuous
I don't even know what's right no more
This loss of hope is continuous
I don't even have it in me to fight no more

[Chorus]
But I
If I give up, it will be the death of me
I know I can take over the world
But I
I can't give up, it won't get the best of me
I know I can take the world

[Verse 2]
I wish that you had a different perception
I wish I didn't try to chase perfection
I really just wanna face the world and chase my dreams
Without the fear of rejection
So I'm really tryna be brave right now
But I'm really losing all my faith right now
Because I'm looking at you and you looking at me
But none of us really know what to say right now
And I really can't change the situation
If I could you know I would with no hesitation
You know this world is a crazy place
I kinda wish we coulda changed the pace
I can't be who you want me to so I
I think its best that we keep the space

[Pre-Chorus]

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I'm still wishing you would call my phone
Maybe you will once you hear my song
The heart gets heavy and the road gets long
Nightmares of growing old and being all alone
I'm really tryna chase my dreams though
Can't let love and these motherfuckers stop me
Cause sometimes we take advantage of these days too much
And these nights I don't even like to say too much cause I

[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna give up but they say
It'll be okay
It'll be all just fine

[Bridge]
I wanna believe 'em but it's strenuous
I don't even know what's right no more
This loss of hope is continuous
I don't even have it in me to fight no more
I don't even have it in me to fight no more

[Chorus]

I can't give up, it won't get the best of me
I know I can take the world
I know I can take the world
