[Intro] (0:00–0:07) (Soft piano, distant vocal echoes) Yeah... Sandbox love... I thought you wanted to see me win. [Verse 1] (0:07–0:36) I came from the bottom, hands in the mud Seen whole summers turn cold, seen friends give up I thought you'd stay when the pressure got mean Thought you'd ride with me until the machine got steam Everybody loyal when the table look full Then the room get thin and the love get pulled You knew me from the sandbox, knew my face But you kept throwing dirt, kept moving that way Salt on my name, trying to make me small Now I stand up straight, you don't like that at all I kept my heart, even with the cuts You kept your smile with the hidden stuff [Pre-Chorus] (0:36–0:49) Now I'm getting paid and you acting strange Same old eyes, but they feel new lanes I thought you wanted this I thought you wanted that I thought you wanted to see me win [Chorus] (0:49–1:12) I thought you wanted to see me win I thought you wanted to see me win Sandbox love, turned fake again I thought you wanted to see me win Now I'm up, you mad Now I'm up, you mad I thought you wanted to see me win I thought you wanted to see me win [Verse 2] (1:12–1:38) I saw the cracks before the whole thing fell Little slick grins, but the story tell You talked about trust, then you changed your tune Same hands wave, same mouth in the room You knew my scars, knew what hurt the most Still you chose that side, still you played that ghost I don't even chase what I know ain't real I just keep my pace, let the silence heal You can keep that shade and the bitter talk I don't look back when I make my walk [Bridge] (1:38–1:52) Funny how the ones who know your name Be the first ones switching frames I ain't broke no more I ain't lost no more I see what you are at the core [Final Chorus] (1:52–2:22) I thought you wanted to see me win I thought you wanted to see me win Sandbox love, turned fake again I thought you wanted to see me win Now I'm up, you mad Now I'm up, you mad I thought you wanted to see me win I thought you wanted to see me win [Outro] (2:22–2:40) (Beat drops away, leaving piano and layered vocals.) Sandbox love... Turned fake again... I thought you wanted... I thought you wanted to see me win. (Piano fades out.)
