By myself Lyrics by Derooted.wav

Loud Thoughts

2018

Let me tell you just a little bit about myself
Always been the most comfortable by myself
The first day in first grade, I was by myself
The last day of ninth grade, still by myself
Been in & out of these hospitals by myself
My mother might’ve been present, but I was by myself and
I don’t hold any grudges, growing up we had nothing
I know it’s hard for a single parent and
Apparently that counts for something
Donno what it is? 
I've been thinking about that, since we were kids
It’s not like she was forced, into having kids?
If she couldn’t handle one, why’d she end up having six?
There’s a difference, between being placed in predicaments
And creating the problem we’re presented with 
This sort of imprisonment is sort of significant 
We’re born with those traits, and pass it to our children 
Unless we deal with it, and learn from past experience
I took a step away and that decision was a million
Times harder, than what I first thought it would be
My father, wasn’t anywhere near to be seen 
My guess is that he couldn’t handle the weight of it
So he decided to leave behind nothing explaining the shit
It’s been years since he split, never cared of it
I barely noticed his absence the first period

[Chorus; Joel & Emwantana]
Let me tell you just a little bit about myself
Always been the most comfortable by myself
First day in first grade, I was by myself
Last day of ninth grade, still by myself
Spending most days alone just by myself
Always been the most comfortable by myself
In & out of this state of mind, by myself
Gotta find a way out even if it’s by myself
Even if it’s by myself [x2]
Gotta find a way out even if it’s by myself
_____
These past few days I've had a heavy heart. 
Can't control my rage, seconds away from breaking apart. 
I can feel it in the air, I gotta get this off. 
Guess I've been too afraid, and I never played it smart
Know I never meant to hurt you, and hate the pain it caused. 
Know you never did wrong, and you didn't set this off. 
There's just something inside, a feeling you'd be better off
All I seem to do was drag you down, having thoughts of calling this off. 
Cuz I can't continue this facade. 
It's like I painted a straight face but now it's coming off. 
Time to display my true colors, and all of my flaws. 
Lately It's been really hard being honest at all
It's both our fault, somewhere down the line we just stopped to talk. 
And I donno if we need some time to sort our thoughts?
All I know is I really tried, not to break your heart
Tried breaking everything down, to get my point across
Of course I thought about us, and everything we share
Of course I hate the fact, that we happened to end it here
I wish it could’ve been different, but it isn’t I fear
And what hurts me the most is leaving you crumbled in tears 
_____
[Chorus; Joel & Emwantana]
