[Intro] [clean electric guitar playing syncopated chords, light reverb] [warm electric bass enters] (Oh, oh, oh, yeah) [Verse 1] [drums enter with a steady backbeat] Lost myself a while ago I made myself a casualty Had to let the truth unfold for sure you know but actually I got tired of lying to my soul I've been soul searching Me versus a me I couldn't tell which one been tracking me I can't fight my vices if I tried no matter what it was On the ground I'm tapping out I let that shit keep grabbing me Struggling for air but it be feeling like the sweetest hugs I can't get away I must admit I like the fallacy This gotta be who I am, reality I'm not mad at me, I can't front no more I just let it roll, ain't no tragedy It's really flattering, it's like art to me I'm a masterpiece, hanging on the wall for viewing in my gallery This one for the dogs and those who want to challenge me And for the women that had left to double back to me [Chorus] [vocal harmonies enter, Rhodes piano swells] Maybe this is who I am, maybe this is who I'll be Maybe all the things I hate in me ain't in the me's Maybe all my broken parts set apart to set me free Maybe I was chasing me, maybe I was chasing me (Maybe I was chasing me) Maybe I was chasing me, maybe (maybe) [Verse 2] [bass becomes more melodic, guitar continues rhythmic stabs] Wrote it all down even the bad shit Hear myself acting up trying to be a savage Sometimes it was too hard to manage Portray beauty but internally hurt remains No glamour I master damage Owed it to myself to work on change I was so open and accessible Treated like use goods, traumatized it felt intentional, defective I'm so much more than three-dimensional If I've to fix my identity Higher self said revise my inner tea Ain't perfect but I'm a friend of me Bloom once a year like a cherry blossom tree Scathed but I still want the best for me [Chorus] [full vocal stack, driving rhythm] Chapters of my life rerunning I'm shameless New me in the mirror still feeling faceless Been through the worst trying to reach atonement Realizing I'm sorry I pray for forgiveness Gotta stop living in the moment, impact resistance Love a girl going through shit, all these emotions Done this I'm built different, therapy dissected the goods and the bads of me How does that make you feel? I say like I'm resilient no matter the pain I wake up I'm still in it This gotta be part of me, honestly, I'm still healing Can't run no more, opened every door, found some clarity inside the mess of me Still got scars to see but I'm learning peace Every version had a purpose in the story see We all trying to rebuild our identity Close the space and just breathe [Outro] [vocal ad-libs in falsetto] Maybe this is who I am, maybe this is who I'll be Maybe all the things I hate in me ain't in the me's Maybe all my broken parts set apart to set me free Maybe I was chasing me, maybe I was chasing me (Maybe I was chasing me) Maybe I was chasing me, oh, maybe [guitar fades out with a final chord]
