a story a lot of you might relate to and hopefully use to remember that relationship angst isn't a reason to try to end your life
lyrics
hook:
i should die today
you walking away
with everything i need in me girl
i’m saying, everything here
was once such sweet sweet love
x2
1:
it was a summer unlike any other, loving was hot and heavy
plus she had crazy legs, so we was rocking steady
i felt like akinyele mixed with arthur fonzarelli
should have known better, soul,
homie, you ain’t gotta tell me
daydreaming in this meadow of steel
i was a couple of levels above head over heels
she had a
physique that could weaken a celibate monk
but her
sweetheart demeanor was a delicate front
no nevermind that
we were both especially young
so anything that i expected was ahead of the gun
but one night, she wasn’t checking her phone
i should have left it alone, but i knew she had that nose that tended to run
i was stressing and panicking, had abandonment issues
i was texting and calling, hollering like damn it, i miss you
she said she’s deading it, i said you know the past that i’ve been through
but she ain’t even wanna talk about it, so all i thought about it was
hook:
i should die today
you walking away
with everything i need in me girl
i’m saying, everything here
was once such sweet sweet love
x2
2:
now here’s the part of it i never really brought up before
cause i ain’t wanna trouble my sister and mom anymore
but since the beat is still rolling and i gotta record
let’s address the messes i made soon as i walked out the door
for starters, i was drunk daily
stuck in a rut a paleontologist couldn’t dig me out of to unveil me
soul was the titanic, no boat or a life jacket
another week of this and my blood would become bailey’s
like what the hell’s occurring?
waking up in union square smelling like somebody else’s urine
clothes moldy like i never knew they sell detergent
overdramatic acting like i was in hell and burning
or sometimes sitting on the train platform, letting my legs dangle
thinking maybe i should jump down, getting my flesh mangled
luckily hesitated and stopped my decline
and reconnected with some friends who told me i would be fine, i told ‘em
hook:
i should die today
you walking away
with everything i need in me girl
i’m saying, everything here
was once such sweet sweet love
x2
