maybe i'm the problem now

I'm praying I got more time
Before I lose what I'm making
They say I'm still in my prime
So why's it feel like I'm faking?

Spending all my life, tryna do what's right
But I can't find no one that does the same
Try to compromise, but despite my tries
No, it'll never go my way

So tell me, why's it always coming down?
If I'm so sweet, why can't it come back around?
I do my best, then watch it all go south
Maybe I'm the problem now
And when I think the story goes my way
Something comes up, and leads it all astray
Can't keep the blame on someone not around
Maybe I'm the problem now

Can't rely on my mind
'Causе I know I'll just debate it
Loop the sеquence of events, make it perfect in my head
Just so I fuck it up and hate it

Spending all my life, tryna do what's right
But I can't find no one that does the same
Try to compromise, but despite my tries
No, it'll never go my way

So tell me, why's it always coming down?
If I'm so sweet, why can't it come back around?
I do my best, then watch it all go south
Maybe I'm the problem now
And when I think the story goes my way
Something comes up, and leads it all astray
Can't keep the blame on someone not around
Maybe I'm the problem now

Don't try to tell me, try to tell me how I'm doing now
You say it's better, but better ain't blocking out the sound
They try to tell me, try to tell me how they locked me down
But now it's better whenever I'm not the one around
Don't try to tell me, try to tell me how I'm doing now
You say it's better, but better ain't blocking out the sound
Don't try to tell me, try to tell me how they locked me down
'Cause now it's better, it's better, it's better, it's better
When I'm not around

So tell me, why's it always coming down?
If I'm so sweet, why can't it come back around?
I do my best, then watch it all go south
Maybe I'm the problem now
And when I think the story goes my way
Something comes up, and leads it all astray
Can't keep the blame on someone not around
Maybe I'm the problem now

(Maybe I'm the problem, maybe I'm the problem now)
