[Verse 1]
Yeah I've seen better days
I used to have a colourful résumé
I used to have a reason to celebrate
But I'm still pushing on anyway
I've had ups and a lot more downs and sometimes all I wanna do is get away
Then I think back to progress I've already made
Then I'm reminded I could be in a better place
Breathe in, breathe out
Taking confidence released out
It's a phase that I'm in right now
And I just need to phase it out
Two years out of the game, that's twenty-four months, just over a hundred weeks
Seven-hundred days, seventeen-thousand hours that people have waited to hear me speak
I don't know why it took so long, life just got in the way
When I feel down, I forget to remind myself that I'm blessed that I got here in the first place
When I've got nothing to show for the week, I see the shame on my girlfriend's face
It's a rarity that I put pen to paper, sorry for the endless wait
But wait, what am I here for? What is my purpose?
What are my goals? What am I working towards? What good will come with these verses?
Where do I see myself like five years from now? I'm still young, every day I'm learning
I've just gotta graft 'cause this opportunity won't last and the world's gonna keep on turning
[Chorus]
You get good times, you get bad times, you get something in-between
You can feel happy one day and then sad the next but that happens naturally
I don't wanna leave the scene but I need a break because it takes it out of me
One day I'll be back with that fire again and that's the only thing I need
You get good times, you get bad times, bad times and then good times but that's fine with me
You get good times, you get bad times, bad times and then good times but that's fine with me, that's fine with me
[Verse 2]
Yo, yeah I've seen better times and I dwell on the past every night
Made mistakes that I regret but I'm a repeat offender, I just can't get it right
Most times I just wanna lie in bed with the duvet blocking the sun from my eyes
Completely still because I'm feeling ill and I just wanna have a better life
I miss my girl, I miss my fam, I feel like I'm not a good man
'Cause I break things and get angry and scare people with the way I am
Wasn't brought up like this, that wasn't the plan
I had everything that I needed to grow
Had groups of friends, was social, I still do but I'm feeling so alone
I'm sick of ringing up my mum telling her that I've had another episode
'Cause she gets worried and I don't like that but I care and I wanna let her know
She likes it when I'm in a good mood, telling her about last night's show
She knows that I love being in London but she feels I'd be better off at home
And I understand, it's worrying
When your son on a whim decides to move to the capital when I could've been studying
But I was sick of my home, I couldn't stomach it
And I'm so far away, my family must feel like they're on the outside looking in
And I could be in a better place for sure but when London's nice to me you get
[Chorus]
You get good times, you get bad times, you get something in-between
You can feel happy one day and then sad the next but that happens naturally
I don't wanna leave the scene but I need a break because it takes it out of me
One day I'll be back with that fire again and that's the only thing I need
You get good times, you get bad times, bad times and then good times but that's fine with me
You get good times, you get bad times, bad times and then good times but that's fine with me, that's fine with me
