lyrics

I want to be what you saw when you met me
I don't want to be who I been lately
I was thinking maybe we could start over
You could be my baby, this is how it should be

Top shelf, cars with drivers, living pretty
blunts dipped in keef, sun sets at 8:30
we riding to the studio dirty as fuck
thinking this is how it could be when
this is where I am, not enough
Obsessed with being better than what I was,
this pretentious shit gonna get me stuck
but I mean what I say, I see this today.
My past means nothing if you're hurting now.
Do what you want, tell the truth, take me down.
I can handle it, I want to help, tell me how.
Let me catch that tear without thinking about
what I'm gonna say, or whoever hurt you gonna
motherfucking pay, I'ma just let you talk,
and this is how it should be.
No more "tomorrow", this is how it is.
I'm sorry they left you, I'm sorry they used you and
tried to prove you something you're not.
If for the first time you're going through the motions,
tell me you feel nothing, you're empty.
Love is the potion, the poison is envy.
Even for someone who's never pretending.
The best ones will still use you up
and put a hole in your cup, it sucks.
I know it's time to shut the fuck up and let you talk.
I don't have to relate it to the basic, it's you.
I can't take that away.
Let me catch that tear, let yourself feel that fear
and when the love comes back, let me just say
that this is how it should be.

I want to be what you saw when you met me
I don't want to be who I been lately
I was thinking maybe we could start over
You could be my baby, this is how it should be
This is how it should be.
