By Design Lyrics by DRAE KI

Surrender

2025

[Verse 1]
Look at myself, I surrender my soul
Breaking the spell, it’s my time to go
Feminine self before I get old
Why do I lie? They don’t know what I know
Pose for the pic and I’m seeing my hope
Maybe it’s me who is changing the tone
Cailee and music I cannot decode
Wanna speak up but it’s stuck in my throat
Tats on my skin cause I need all the ink
No I don’t fling, I am not past tense
Face down, I could take all this
Night as a star and the love is abyss
Kiss on my heart and I’ll write you a poem
Sex and my music is how I be coping
Disowned my body you see I ain’t joking
Lilya 4-ever I’ll be your tokеn
[Chorus]
Cause I
Have come to rеalize
[Verse 2]
Can I be y-
Falling right back into my habits again
Thought I was better but seems I’m aching
Why do I fail at the things that I’m chasing?
Nobody know me they stuck in the past
I cannot live when you treat me like that
Thoughts of me dying, not hiding that
How much is ego and how much is facts?
Gave you a rose and you threw it right back
Can I just sing- for the things that I lack
Praying to God for my innocence back
Now tell me what’s valid in all of that?
[Refrain]
I was once yours for a time
[Chorus]
Cause I
Have come to realize
That life
Is all by design
[Verse 3]
Buried my past in the weight of my sins
Look in the mirror, don’t know who I am
Stuck in a dream that I can’t comprehend
Is it a win if I lose in the end?
Maybe it’s fate if I’m breaking my vows
Tracing the skin on my body right now
Trapped by a prism collision of sound
Tell me what’s left when the silence surrounds
Fell in too deep now I’m breaking in half
Now I just suffer the weight of the past
Told you my secrets, you didn’t react
Will you forget me or cherish all that?
Craving your touch but I fear you’re anew
Tangled in time with the image of you
How could I not with them eyes, so blue
Will you forget me or call me soon?
[Chorus]
Cause I
Have come to realize
That life
Is all by design
Cause I
Have come to realize
That life
Is all by design
