Midnight Echoes of a Broken Guitar

Lyrics

They say love isn’t just expression of words And everybody say with time it heals But I really feel like it only gets worse I Can’t believe this is real [VERSE 1 — soft beat enters, melodic rap] And no I can’t get better no Momma say I be better off But I still got all this pain in my body Still unresolved Taking prescription medication Tryna ease my withdrawal All of my life not knowing who I wanna be Then look up times just gone [REFRAIN — drums drop, SLOW, soulful] I’m just me I’m just me [PAUSE] Honestly, I mean honestly How much more damage Can a nigga receive My own heart grabbed its cap And abandoned me In due time we will see [VERSE 2 — beat returns, emotional build] How can I give ya my all If there’s no love left to give “ it’s time to grow up” “Man I’m sick of this shit” [RAW DELIVERY] Man fuck you bitch Yea fuck you bitch [MELODY RETURNS] Already know you was gonna switch n fold Never knew life could have you feeling so low, could have you feeling so alone [REFRAIN — drums drop, slow singing] So ima go out the way I came in Ima go out the way I came in [PAUSE — hold vocal] Alone [VERSE 3 — light beat returns, melodic rap] Go walk and try to keep my life steady I’m done walking on a tight rope Because when my mind gets to roaming My thoughts start circling me [MELODIC POCKET — slow] Circling me yea Inside not receiving your love was hurting me hurting me Begging inside pleading n crying cause I’m emotionally tired, fuck dat [BEAT CUT] Emotionally gone [BRIDGE — sparse guitar, emotional build] Look me in the eyes Bitch look a nigga in his eyes Tell me what you see [PAUSE] What do you see [VERSE 4 — full groove, tighter melodic flow] You the judge and I’m the convict Tried to give you my love and you don’t want it You gave me a hearin but you ain’t hearing me and sentence you giving me Is telling me all that you did not receive And I can’t see how you could look at me as an ATM, so loveless [BEAT STRIPS BACK] cause at the moment I’m already knowin tryna love you is hopeless [FINAL REFRAIN — slow, soulful, emotional peak] Tryna love you is hopeless [PAUSE] I just didn’t know it, yea I just didn’t know it [QUIET] You had to show me [OUTRO — guitar only, no drums] They say just follow your heart [LONG PAUSE] Okay what piece do I follow when it’s in a million
