[ Verse 1 ] When I'm being honest, I'm scared of what will come out It's 1:30 in the morning, man why am I tripping out? I have a dream that's in my hands but I can feel it slippin' out They don't listen when you're silent so my heart is speaking out I've been sweeping these thoughts while I've been mopping these floors I can't wait to tell my mom \"I bought this house and it's yours\" Not a cloud up in the sky, but in my heart man, it pours When I look in the mirror, he's like \"well work a bit more\" I fell in love with your eyes, but we got different perspectives You hit me up, I don't reply, that right there is a message Just forget it, just pretend like that we're good, it's all okay But even though you're gone all these feelings stay They say, when you're angry you don't mean it but that's when you mean it most I still remember every face when they told me I was a joke I wrote it down just so I could let it go If you never leave the dirt, then how could you ever grow?
