Good Guy
Trouble in my way. I’m almost crying again
Trouble in my way. I caught you lying again.
Said you could finally see I was the one you need. Just to turn around and see you found another me. The word in town you’re marrying this other me. In love I once was blind, but please believe me now I see
This is what you feel when you’re the good guy
A lot of sleepless nights, when you’re the good guy.
A lot of asking why when you’re the good guy.
A lot of tears to cry when you’re the good guy
They turn a blind eye when you’re the good guy.
But wonder why you changed, what happened to the good guy?
Tried to stay the same but at this point, why should i?
Love is where the good guy dies.
Trouble in my way. But who does the good guy turn to?
When his blue sky’s begin to turn too, who notices the things he goes through.
I make it clear, if you need me, call me, I’ll be right there.
Looking around now, can’t see nobody anywhere
I wanna scream, and ask does anybody really care
Just another burden to bear, I swear
This is what you feel when you’re the good guy
A lot of sleepless nights, when you’re the good guy.
A lot of asking why when you’re the good guy.
A lot of tears to cry when you’re the good guy
A lot of “it’s not the best time” when you’re the good guy.
But there’s never a best time when you’re the good guy.
Or “I’ll see you the next time “ when you’re the good guy.
Love is where the good guy dies.
There’s a lot of apologies when you’re the good guy
A lot of “maybe. We’ll sees”, when you’re the good guy.
“I need you to understand”’s when you’re the good guy.
Plenty of canceled plans when you’re the good guy.
So this is not a good guy love song
This is when being the good guy goes wrong
Too many things left unsaid, and messages left on read. I guess I finally got it thru my head that
This is what you feel when you’re the good guy
A lot of sleepless nights, when you’re the good guy.
A lot of asking why when you’re the good guy.
A lot of tears to cry when you’re the good guy
They turn a blind eye when you’re the good guy.
But wonder why you changed, what happened to the good guy?
Tried to stay the same but at this point, why should i?
Love is where the good guy dies.
This is what you feel when you’re the good guy
This is how it feels to be The good guy

Running Out Of Time

Running out of time
Can you hear me? Is anybody there? Been Searching far and wide, cant find nobody anywhere. Still crying out for help, will anybody even care? Can’t do this by myself, I hate this body, I don’t care. Just understand, I’ve tried to change it all times before. My biggest enemy’s better equipped to fight this war. Depressed and stressed, not impressed, no I’m not worth falling for. No words can cheer me up, these words, I’ve heard em all before. Look down my arms, you see these scars, their self inflicted. People like me, can’t shoot for stars we stay restricted. Wanted to cut through it all, this time I almost did it. Said I was through with it all, and this time I almost did it. Mountains of self doubt, they’re really hard to climb, wanting to take myself out, I’m a slave to my mind. But I’ll show myself out, no more wasting your time. I know you wanted to help me but I’m running out of time
Running, running out of time x2
Stay with me, don’t you leave
Look up at me just breath x4
I need you to know that I hear you, your cries have been loud and they’re clear too. The scars on your arms give a clear view, the scars to your heart brought me near you. These are scars that I know too well, I’ve had em here for years, glad they don’t show too well. I know the fears the tears, I know you go through hell. couldn’t cut though it all, cuz you’ve got a story to tell. So Come back queen, we need you here, your life is needed. Another chance, another day cuz Jesus pleaded. To give you strength to make it thru, the strength to beat it. No longer fighting yourself, cuz depression is defeated. Bounce back king, come back home, the storm is ending. You tell the world of your scars, cuz survival equals winning. I’m glad you’re hearing me, remember this rhyme. The next time you think that you’re running real short on time

Change Your Mind

Change your mind
When was the last time you didn’t have to beg a man to text you first?
And when was the last time he came to visit you before heading home from work?
So can you tell me the last time a brother never made you feel like a pastime
Another wasted relationship like the last time.
Hope that was the last time you didn’t get your worth.
So now I’ve gotta change your mind, that’s the only way that you’ll be mine.
Let me take my time, give you a love that’s genuine
And I will never waste your time, I’ll take my time and make more time
For you, anywhere, anytime. Just let me change your mind. (Some kind of Adlib in there)
When was the last time that you felt sexy outside of the bed?
Beautiful with no make up, as soon as you wake up, with your scarf on your head.
When was the last time you didn’t go for Netflix and chill like the last time? And thought provoking conversations were the only time he got in your head?
When was the last time you woke up to some flowers at your door? Or even more
When was the last time you smiled because you knew you that were worth fighting for?
Do you feel like a queen? Better yet, can calling you my queen be routine?
You’ll never ever wonder where you’re standing with me anymore. That’s for sure
So now I’ve gotta change your mind, that’s the only way that you’ll be mine.
Let me take my time, give you a love that’s genuine
And I will never waste your time, I’ll take my time and make more time
For you, anywhere, anytime. Just let me change your mind. (Some kind of Adlib in there)
So Can I be your last time, instead of just another notch on your belt?
Let me change your mind, and show you a better side to the pain that you felt.
Let me be your last time, won’t be like that last time, I’ll show you a good time, show you that you should shine.
Can I be your last time? I’ll make sure you never need somebody else.
So now I’ve gotta change your mind, that’s the only way that you’ll be mine.
Let me take my time, give you a love that’s genuine
And I will never waste your time, I’ll take my time and make more time/
For you, anywhere, anytime. Just let me change your mind.
