First time round it couldn't be
Two times now it hit me deep
Three times damn near fell in love
Forth time round I couldn’t see
First time round I couldn’t see
Two times now it hit me deep
Deep down find it hard to trust
I hope I do eventually
Lately ain’t no telling what I can see
It's like the picture fading
And then the lights are gone
And lately ain’t no telling
What ain't no lie to me
But I don't feel so crazy
When we’re all alone
I can't see straight
Why does it feel like, uh-huh
Something that's blasphemy?
Why does it feel right, uh-huh
If it's something that's bad for me?
I can't see straight
Wasn’t bound to last for long
Just let it be one time
I can't see straight
'Cause I could feel alive
Just give me one sign
Are you all mine?
I could crash and burn before the days old
On a grave shift to make Ps fold
I never look back, 'cause that place cold
I got broken lights in my halo
Hear the white lies, hear the say so
Said they at the table, never ate though
Why many man turn shameful?
Why many man turn hateful?
Conditioned to let those things go
When I met you I wasn’t the same though
Couldn’t embrace pain like a raincoat
That's how I live forever, how I age slow
In your mother tongue just say it slow
She like my guardian angel
I was young, dumb
But that was way ago
Don’t remember your name
Remember your face though
Now I’m drunk off you by the case load
Any time you need, I’ll be your scape goat
When I'm blinded, and drunk off you
In the club take another sip of you
'Cause I'm blinded
I can't see straight
Lately ain’t no telling what I can see
It's like the picture fading
And then the lights are gone
And lately ain’t no telling
What ain't no lie to me
But I don't feel so crazy
When we’re all alone
Why does it feel like, uh-huh
Something that's blasphemy?
Why does it feel right, uh-huh
If it's something that's bad for me?
I can't see straight
Wasn’t bound to last for long
Just let it be one time
'Cause I could feel alive
Just give me one sign
Are you all mine?
I can't see straight
Can’t see straight
I savour love, I don’t need too much
Till I crave a rush, then I sober up
Don't even show it
Chasing funds, till there's paper cuts
On the face I’m numb, but I need your touch
So simple
Like a mothers love
I'm just my fathers son
Just watch me run
To upper echelon
And even if I hit the ground
Before I touch the sun
Just know I weighed a ton
For my brothers' sake just keep it going
Just keep it going
