"Forgot Your Roots" lyrics

"Forgot Your Roots"

Go on, let me down easy
Hopin' I'd hear you say that you need me
I don't want to spend the whole afternoon
Finding more reasons to think about, to think about you
Think about you
'Cause for her, I'd jump up, grab the moon
Try to pull the sun a little bit closer too

Now there's fog in the air
Blood on their nose
You lost who you are
Forgot your roots and it shows

Had to move away to forget the hand I hold
It was my own damn fault, scattered about these lies I told
Now I gaze up at the stars, don't know what I can control
Close my eyes, wonder why, as I take my last toke
My last toke
Maybe in another life, we were never broke
Maybe we stood up tall, our two hearts became a soul
Became a soul

Now there's fog in the air
Blood on their nose
You lost who you are
Forgot your roots and it shows

Oh, it's hurt, and it's pain
Constituting my life in vain
It's a shame, who's to blame?
I can't stand who you became
Who you became
No, I can't stand

There's fog in the air
Blood on their nose
You lost who you are
Forgot your roots and it shows

You lost who you are
Forgot your roots and it shows
