One thing, I can't explain why No matter how I grind, time just slides by Built these lines with the truth inside Tryna show the reason I survived this fight Time's like a blade, watch the second hand swing Then it's gone, blink once, and you miss everything Clock runs down, no way to rewind Tryna hold tight but I'm losin' my mind Didn't see the crash, didn't feel the fall Wasted the moment, risked it all Tried to grab hold, but I slipped that day Spent my soul just to watch you stray Held it all deep inside But no matter how I tried It all slipped right through A memory of what I knew I gave my all, went far enough But after all, it meant nothing much Had to break to lose it clear But in the end, none of it was near One thing, still don't know how Tried too hard, but I'm empty now Wrote these bars just to mark the fight To prove to myself that I reached that light You laughed, threw shade, said I wouldn't go far Treated me like I ain't who I are Still feel every fight and every word Can't believe how twisted it all occurred Now everything's flipped, rearranged Look at me, you won't know I changed Not that you knew me way back when But now it's fire burnin' deep within You held it all inside But even when you lied I saw through the cracks Of what we left behind I gave my all, went far enough But after all, it meant nothing much Had to break to lose it clear But in the end, none of it was near I placed my trust in you Gave everything I could do Now it's gone, there's nothing left Just the echo of what we said (I placed my trust in you) (And now I'm through) I gave my all, went far enough But after all, it meant nothing much Had to break to lose it clear But in the end, none of it was near (Yeah) But in the end, none of it was near
