"Tears" lyrics
(You left me tired and lonely
And I can't believe I'm still waiting around
I don't wanna cry, but you know me so well
I just wanna hold back the tears that keep coming)
This one brought me to my knees because I needed to confess
When you've been a wild child, you got plenty on your conscience
They don't sing your praises 'cause convos done get responseless
But I just keep on speaking regardless, I do the longest
I started off confronting my demons, but they were monstrous
Then I became the monster, started acting bonkers
Heartbreak connected to pounds, so then I got hundreds
Turn them into thousands, that's robberies from Hondas
I had to say it all, that's why I'm dropping to my knees
In case I have to crawl
Ran before I learnt to walk, sang before I learnt to talk
Middle fingers up, screaming "Fuck the law"
Like I'm a Tupac Shakur, so many times I snapped a jaw
Last time we spoke about me seeing my potential
I was broke and couldn't afford the rental on my residential
When I wrote them first tapes I was still struggling with my mental
When I listen back now, I wish I wrote 'em with a pencil
When your heart feels like it's froze up
And you don't wanna lose your composure
How was that stress? Kevlar plates in my black vest
Escaping invest, Monte Carlo, live off the interest
I'm calm now, but I've been vexed
I say I'm humble then I jump out of the Lambo looking windswept
And I'm like, "What's with all these fancy things?
I must've been on Pinterest"
I told myself I'd get it all, but back then I was in debt
(You left me tired and lonely
And I can't believe I'm still waiting around
I don't wanna cry, but you know me so well
I just wanna hold back the tears that keep coming)
Yeah, look, yeah
See, when the love doesn't work, that means your heart's broken
Blind to the bigger picture, eyes half open
Sometimes I am hopeless, giving in to psychosis
But they look at me for guidance now like I am Moses
I told myself I'd win when I was homeless, mind focused
I used to feel like an imposter in designer loafers
I hope the weed smokers reload this
Jaded, jaded, jaded, that's my emotions
I told 'em walk with me
Hail Mary, would you run quick, see
They wanna see you drown, what if you decide to fly?
Time after time I've cried, I'm dry
There's no tears in me, there's no fear in me
I know you've been standing here with me in my ear
Whispering a prayer, but I told ya I'm a soldier
And my heart will be strong 'til I disappear (until I disappear)
(You left me tired and lonely
And I can't believe I'm still waiting around
I don't wanna cry, but you know me so well
I just wanna hold back the tears that keep coming)
Dear Roy
