Wasting time

{Hook}

We’ve been wasting time, chasing a dream

Fighting for something that’s never what it seemed

Would we be better off just letting go

Watching everything fall, just so we know?

we've been wasting time

I thought I left the cold world behind, all this shit is too old, even though I strolled

Through the woods, steadfasting, leaving my roots to grow,

But the past got a grip, and it won’t let go.

Tried to plant new seeds, but the frost still bites,

Every step that I take feels like replayed nights.

I gave my soul to the art, but it took more than it gave,

Now I’m stuck in the dark, just a slave to the wave.

They tell me, “Stay strong, keep pushin’, you’ll shine,”

But how long ‘til the fire burns out in my mind?

I ain't chasing the charts, I just wanted a lane,

Now I'm staring at the past like a picture in a frame.

Maybe letting go is the only way to climb,

Or maybe I'm just stuck here, wasting time.

Sinking in the deep, waves pull me under slow,

No breath left to fight, guess it’s time to let go.

A ghost in the mirror, don’t recognize my face,

Fading like a whisper, just a shadow out of place.

Memories like chains, heavy on my soul,

Tryna break free, but the scars still show.

Momma said God don’t like ugly, I guess I’m too fugly,

With everything you took from me, nothing new, nothing left to say,

Drowning in the echoes of a past that still haunts me every day.
