Abandoned

He's been abandoned his whole life (oh, yeah)
If loving me is hard, I apologize
If I push you away, promise you'll stay by my side
He's been broken, traumatized
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh (yeah, yeah)
Yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg, yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg
Uh, okay

I can remember, gotta remember way back when
Since a small small kid, I didn't ever have no friends
'Member daddy went to prison, Uncle Derek took me in
Then Uncle Derek went to prison, that's when my troubles began

Mama went off and found her some happiness, she got married
Missin' my daddy badly, I turned my back on the family
That left me looking for love in all the wrong places
Now my heart that was so full of love is full hate

Everybody that I invested trust turned to be snakes
Everybody that I invested trust turned to be fake
I know you're frustrated, you want me to open more
But it takes a strong, strong heart to heal a broken soul

He's been abandoned his whole life (oh, yeah)
If loving me is hard, I apologize
If I push you away, promise you'll stay by my side
He's been broken, traumatized
Uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh
Yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg, yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg
Uh

Now here's a toxic trait that I have
I beg for distance when I'm mad, but bein' distant, we won't last
And if it's best for you, then go be free
But if you plan on comin' back, then baby, you shouldn't leave
By the time that you get back, I'll be gone
Too scared of bein' alone, and where I lay my hat's my home
And I know that you're frustrated, you want me to open more
But it takes a strong, strong heart to heal my broken soul
Broken soul
Broken, soul, yeah
Bring the hook back right there

He's been abandoned his whole life (woah, woah)
(His whole life, his whole life, yeah)
If loving me is hard, I apologize (yeah, yeah, yeah, woah)
If I push you away
Promise you'll stay by my side (push you away, yeah)
(If I push you away)

He's been broken, traumatized (he's been traumatized)
(Traumatized)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg, (woah) yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg (woah)
