Broken Lyrics by Derateo

This Feels Like a Dream

2018

[Chorus: Derateo]
I got lost again, can you hit me one time?
Lost again and I feel like I'm dyin'
Lost again, can you hit me one time? (Time?)

[Verse 1: Derateo]
Lately I've been feeling broken, like I failed on a test
Looking up into the stars at night, I don't see such a mess
And I know my family's lovely, but they don't wish for my best
I got nieces in Miami and I think they want me dead
I don't need you, I'm so damn see through, but I can see
If I could be you, but I wouldn't be you 'cause I like me
And I know my family's lovely, but they don't wish for my best
I got nieces in Miami and I think they want me (Dead)

[Verse 2: VELVETEARS]
I got cousins hitting me up, haven't heard from them in years
Same people with their hands out, used to let me disappear
Yeah, it was rough, fucking up, they didn't want me comin' over to their dinners
Now they're asking if I could come by and pay for all the liquor
I hate how people watch people die around them
Needles in my back, yeah, they didn't want me 'round them
And now I made a bag, and they care, yeah, how astounding
But I'm still drownin'

[Chorus: Derateo & VELVETEARS, Derateo]
I got lost again, can you hit me one time?
Lost again and I feel like I'm dyin'
Lost again, can you hit me one time? (Time?)

[Verse 3: VELVETEARS]
Fake love, fake drugs, what's the difference?
Hit me up, say that things gon' be different
It's a lie, and you know it, why you trippin'?
I'm fucking broken, tell me am I worth fixing?

[Chorus: VELVETEARS]
I got lost again, can you hit me one time?
Lost again and I feel like I'm dyin'
Lost again, can you hit me one time?

[Verse 4: Derateo]
Always having fantasies of being on my own
And I always think my fans will be the people I hold close
But it's different, it's so damn different
I already see there's something missing
I'm on a mission, they don't know me
Been closed, bitter to the world
Been better to myself, but only in terms of clothes
But I guess that's how it goes
I'm falling to my foes, keep falling into holes, still feel my life is dull
And I wanna make it better

[Outro: Derateo]
Yeah, I wanna make it better
