Yeah… Streetlights hum like they know me Night air heavy, heart movin’ slowly Raised where love come last, not lonely I been carryin’ weight like it owe me Cold world tried to turn me to stone, see I give love, but it cost me closely Every scar got a price it showed me Hope you glow if you ever outgrow me Just don’t take my mind when you ghost me I done survived nights that broke me Just don’t leave me empty, don’t fold me Grew up where the pain feel normal Sirens sing through the windows, vocal Mama prayin’, heart stay hopeful I was outside tryna stay social Trust thin like the air when it’s cold Friends turn memories, stories told Had to stand on myself when I was low Ain’t complain, I just took control I don’t speak on it, I just cope Too much loss made my heart move slow If you leavin’, don’t cut me open Some wounds bleed where you don’t notice I been carryin’ weight like it owe me Cold world tried to turn me to stone, see I give love, but it cost me closely Every scar got a price it showed me Hope you glow if you ever outgrow me Just don’t take my mind when you ghost me I done survived nights that broke me Just don’t leave me empty, don’t fold me City cold, but the dream still warm Had to smile through the storm I wore Every win come attached to loss Every love got a hidden cost If I pull back, it’s self-defense I been fightin’ thoughts I never sent I don’t need you to save my soul Just don’t leave when I’m close to whole Yeah… If you go, let me keep control Just don’t take my mind when you go
