I should've quit so many years ago The curtain is closed on this show I guess familiar really breeds contempt So many times I ignored what would have been signs had I known what what you call "family" really meant You don't have to be my friend we don't' ever have to speak again I'm good with this being the end Should've done it years ago Why i didn't I will never know What we were we could never mend because of something you said Something you said 'cause of something you said Something you said If I know you, and I do you're so delusional that you you feel like you're a victim here All I ever did was ride for you push up my sleeves and grind for you but you didn't care, and you made that clear You don't have to be my friend we don't' ever have to speak again I'm good with this being the end Talk about me to your sycophants then laugh about 'em like they're not your friends but the truth is that we've reached the end over something you said Something you said 'cause of something you said Something you said

You're a part of me Part of everything I am and all i'll ever be Always thought it'd always be forever you and me but nowadays it seems you don't want me, no Yes i went away But you knew i was coming back and i'd be here to stay But when i came you made it clear that it was you who'd changed you grew and grew away you don't want me (You're my home and i don't know where I'm gonna go) I don't know where I would ever go (But this new you is someone that i barely know All I ask of you, is please be good to me (Baby) Be good to me (Baby) Just be good to me (Baby) Be good to me Please be good to me (Baby) Be good to me (Baby) Please be good to me (Baby) Be good to me, to me Changed your name Changed your borders Built you up Spit out your daughters Who are they These new children that you claim? (You're my home and i don't know where I'm gonna go) I don't know where I would ever go (But this new you is someone that i barely know All I ask of you.. come on (Skyzoo) [NOTE: I'm not typing out his lyrics. Good luck with that.] Changed your name Changed your borders Built you up Spit out your daughters Who are they These new children that you claim?

Every since I was a child I always had a dream I could fly It wasn't hard, all I had to do was try how did i forget that As I survey the wreck and all the mess I've made my biggest regrets are all the times I was afraid I didn't take the shot 'cause i thought I would miss those are times that haunt me that's no way to live (Had to risk it all to gain a different point of view) So now I'm trying something new (trying something new) Tell me if you fee it now (I'm trying something new) So now Im trying something new (trying something new) Tell me if you feel it now (I'm trying something new) Ever since I was a child i always had a dream I was free If the world was a stage at the front of that thing was me how did I forget that Ain't nobody's fault that i lose the race if i set myself up to come in second place dimming my own light won't keep me from pain nothing lasts forever I'm embracing change (when you risk it all you'll find you'll know a better you) So now I'm trying something new (trying something new) Tell me if you fee it now (I'm trying something new) So now Im trying something new (trying something new) Tell me if you feel it now (I'm trying something new) (Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop) (Won't stop, Won't stop, Won't stop) repeat OUT

Living 04:54
I wasted so much time tryna tow the line like things would go the way I want if everything was right If i just wait my turn then maybe I would learn but what I learned is I won't earn If i don't go for mine Now I'm not scared, scared of losing I have lost everything that i can conceive from now on I'll be choosing of every horse in the race my money's on me I don't know what life's bringing, bringing All i know is I'm living, living You do the best you can you try to make a plan life intervenes, and so it seems you're back to start again you wonder if you can if you have the strength I know you do, I swear it's true If I do, so do you I'm not scared, scared of losing I have lost everything I could fantasize from now on I'll be choosing as long as I'm my best fan I am so alive I don't know what life's bringing, bringing All i know is I'm living, living I'm fine divine my trials are guides repeat 3x (music break) I don't know what life's bringing, bringing All i know is I'm living, living I don't know what life's bringing, bringing All i know is I'm living, living I don't know what life's bringing, bringing All i know is I'm living, living
