Dear Marla Lyrics by Mike Bars

Desperate Measures

2018

[Intro]
I’d like to begin with a fact
Yeah x2
All the wrong that I’ve done
You know how they say you only hurt the ones you love?
Congratulations, you’re the living example

[Pre Hook]
She said ‘please don’t go’
I said ‘Girl, don’t waste your time’
Aye, ‘cause what she don’t know
Is I’ve gone out of my mind

[Hook]
All the wrong I’ve done
Wrong I’ve done
Wrong I’ve done
And all of these thoughts Imma take to the grave
All the wrong I’ve done
Wrong I’ve done
Wrong I’ve done
Tell me how can I love? I can’t even behave

[Post Hook]
I can’t trust myself
Mmm, can’t trust myself
I can’t trust myself
Nah, can’t trust myself

[Verse 1]
Fell asleep on the red eye
With a record as clean as my nose
Woke up in Atlanta
With a zip full of xannies and blood on my clothes
Man, I promised my grandma 
I’d stay up out the cameras 
But how the fuck can I?
Never meant to upset her
She screaming who am I?
The truth is, I don’t even know
How come whenever I say that shit out loud I fear I’ve died 
Maybe I should put this gun in my mouth now and clear my mind
But before I can greet death
I just tell myself “deep breaths, you just need rest”
Lay down and relieve stress
Then wake up and repeat steps
At night my disorder, it come through the Ouija 
See I tried warned her, but she don’t believe me, now 
I told her that “if you can afford a peace of mind, then you must be rich”
How the fuck you expecting me to I trust you? I can’t even trust me, bitch

[Pre Hook]
She said ‘please don’t go’
I said ‘Girl, don’t waste your time’
Aye, ‘cause what she don’t know
Is I’ve gone out of my mind

[Hook]
All the wrong I’ve done
Wrong I’ve done
Wrong I’ve done
And all of these thoughts Imma take to the grave
All the wrong I’ve done
Wrong I’ve done
Wrong I’ve done
Tell me how can I love? I can’t even behave

[Post Hook]
I can’t trust myself
Mmm, can’t trust myself
I can’t trust myself
Nah, can’t trust myself

[Bridge]
This feels like home
And you’re the only one I want by my side
Oh, but I can’t stay long
‘Cause I just can’t get a grip on my mind
Dear Marla
Dear Marla
Dear Marla Singer
Dear Marla
Dear Marla
It’s clear I’m a sinner

[Hook]
All the wrong I’ve done
Wrong I’ve done
Wrong I’ve done
And all of these thoughts Imma take to the grave
All the wrong I’ve done
Wrong I’ve done
Wrong I’ve done
Tell me how can I love? I can’t even behave

[Post Hook]
I can’t trust myself
Mmm, can’t trust myself
I can’t trust myself
Nah, can’t trust myself
