[Intro: Purpose]
Yeah

Follow me
[Verse 1: Purpose]
Now Rose's parents worked hard to provide the best life for her
So hard that they’d barely had any time for her
So she never got the love she needed
Sooner or later, no one could reach her
Got caught up with the wrong crowd, hated school, dropped out
No one around to tell her what's right or wrong now
(Home's where the heart is) She feelin’ like she locked out
Strangers live here, I must be at the wrong house
She don't needa be judged, she needa be loved
And everything starts to seem a bit much
So she gets the love she needs from the drugs
‘Til she gets herself in too deep to give up, open your eyes, baby
[Chorus: Purpose]
(Hey)
You can't see it unfold when you're sittin' in the middle of it
You can't see it unfold, unfold when
You can't see it unfold when you're sittin’ in the middle of it
(Hey)
You can’t see it unfold, unfold when
[Verse 2: Purpose]
Every rose has its thorns and she's no different (Nah)
Needs a fix, now she’s addicted
Friends startin' to say she seems so distant (Why?)
But if you ask her, (Huh?) she'll say she's doin’ fine
Too proud to consider suicide
But if they keep lookin' at her like she crazy, (Argh!) she gon' prove ‘em right
Lookin' at ‘em like, “What would you do if you were I?
I ain't all in your business, why you gotta intrude on mine?” (Ay!)
Promised herself she wouldn't get hooked like her other friends
But when she comes down, she wanna go back up again
Seems like every time she leave her house, she fall in love again
But none of ‘em understand exactly what she's up against
They're tryna fill the void left by the love she never got
She's an unhealthy cycle that never stops
That's the attention, you don't wanna be the centre of it
Over voices in your head, it's hard to hear the penny drop
[Chorus: Purpose]
(Hey)
You can't see it unfold when you're sittin' in the middle of it
You can't see it unfold, unfold when
You can't see it unfold when you're sittin' in the middle of it
You can't see it unfold, unfold when
[Verse 3: Purpose]
She said “Some days I hate what I've become
And I can't keep blamin' it on the way that I grew up
Shit, I never meant to take anything up
I told myself I'd just take everything once
Can't even remember how many days that I've been up
Or when I come down, I'm numbed out, waitin' for the Sun
Lord, give me a sign, an Angel from above
Some (Argh!) sort of indication that change is gonna come” (Oh!)
She said “I never realised I had a problem ‘til it happened
Now it's too late (Too late) for me, honestly I've had it
But you would never understand the problems of an addict (Never)
Until you seen a fiend noddin' off the hammer”
Dealers rollin' ‘round like Polly want a cracker
Rock bottom, detached from what had really mattered
The headlines read “What a waste of talent”
If only she'da seen it comin', this'd probably never happen
[Chorus: Eslev, Eslev & Purpose, & Purpose]
(Hey)
You can't see it unfold when you're sittin' in the middle of it
You can't see it unfold, unfold when
You can't see it unfold when you're sittin' in the middle of it
You can't see it unfold, unfold when (Hey)
You can't see it no more
You can't see it unfold when you're sittin' in the middle of it, you can't see it no more
You can't see it no more
You can't see it unfold, unfold when, you can't see it no more
You can't see it no more
You can't see it unfold when you're sittin' in the middle of it, you can't see it no more
You can't see it no more
You can't see it unfold, unfold when, you can't see it no more
[Outro: Purpose]
You can't see it no more
You can't see it
(Hey) You can't see it no more
You can't see it
