Lyrics

That’s what I thought,
The mere mention of her...
Makes my heart start rushing,
No it's not open for discussion
Blood pressure, yup on the rise,
Everytime I think about it I get depressed
and just wanna run and hide,
I don’t want to (quit...
I gotta to straighten up,
I never said that I was giving in
But I need to start waking up
And go,
Live my life
Glisten and glow,
They might not witness the growth,
or see the ghosts, but...
Don’t mean they don’t live there,
In your heart where you’ve been unaware,
I’ve been unaware, too,
Of what I could be or I'm put here to do,
I’ve been trying to grow with it though,
I’ve been trying to go with the flow,
Using every day that I got as a blessing,
Every mistake, every loss as a lesson,
And let myself get all of it back,
My heart is intact and I’ll be true that’s
A promise to you, and I’ma see that through...

I’ve still been bringing them melodies,
Something in my soul, it starts to sing,
And I still can’t believe...
This is all happening to me.

Did I tell ya?
I’ve been waiting up for hours
Tryin to remember,
The song that we sang,
Just the other day,
Now I can’t get no sleep...

I’ve been trying to beat,
beat around the bush,
But that’s not good enough,
So then I give it a push,
But when I start to try to push, then it pulls back,
Let me get a pull of that kush,
Cause the world's weighing heavy on your boy's back,
I didn't see it coming,
They beat me to the punch,
Wanna see the bruises, hunched over,
Gave me a once over, but I ain't gonna run like a little punk,
My legacy is life, and even though I can take a hit, still don’t choose to fight,
The one that moves through the light, is the one that won’t lose tonight...

And I’ve still been bringing them melodies,
Something in my soul, it starts to sing,
And I still can’t believe...
This is all happening to me.
