_________________________________
Please don't break my heart again
I can't take this damage
It's more than you can imagine
(What did we dance to?)
(I don't remember)
So please don't break my heart again
I can't believe that you cut me off like that
It's almost if there was nothing that we had

I keep on falling for the same old thing
Do you really want my love, or are you playing with me?
First you love me, then you hating me
But then you call me and we kiss and then make up next week
Really, I just wanna know what you've got on your mind
I let you in and now I'm feeling like we're wasting time
But they say patience is a virtue and I'm keeping mine
And I just
Want 'ciprocation, are you even trying?

I tell you I'm fine
But I've walked in these shoes
And fell too many times with you
We've had ups, we've had downs
If you don't want me 'round
Let me know so I'm not a fool
I tell you I'm fine
But I've walked in these shoes
And fell too many times with you
We've had ups, we've had downs
If you don't want me 'round
Let me know

But please don't break my heart again
I can't take this damage
It's more than you can imagine, no
Please don't break my heart again
I can't believe that you cut me off like that
It's almost if there was nothing that we had

Let me tell you, it was tragic
All of a sudden, we lost the magic
I don't know what happened
But I know we still could have it
I keep on thinking, baby
Where did all the time go? (where did it go?)
We spent it with our eyes closed
Singing songs about tomorrow
But what if you're out of this picture instead?
Oh my God

I tell you I'm fine
But the truth is I'm lying
And I still want you here to keep
We've had ups, we've had downs
Just don't throw it out now
Think of how much you mean to me
I tell you I'm fine
But I've walked in these shoes (please don't break my heart)
And fell too many times with you (please don't break my heart)
We've had ups, we've had downs
If you don't want me 'round (please don't break my heart)
Let me know

But please don't break my heart again
I can't take this damage
It's more than you can imagine, no
Please don't break my heart again
I can't believe that you cut me off like that
It's almost like there was nothing that we had
(Woo!)

_________________________________

I don't know...who am I?
Can someone tell?
I've been lying to myself and lying well
Cause through fake laughs and fake smiles
I could distract myself a while from myself
But it's temporary and I found out

Cause I've been reaching autonomy
And looking for the answer, I found me
And through the looking glass
I saw the future, not the past
Far behind me
Cause the answer to myself is inside me

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,

And through the looking glass
I saw the future, not the past
Far behind me
Cause the answer to myself is inside-

I'm nearing eighteen, I've got a dream
But my inner thoughts are doubting
By twenty-three, where will I be?
I try not to think about it
I got enemies, one of them's me
I'm insecure and I know it
I hated myself, bad for my health
So I didn't hardly show it
And I've been thinking hard and going back and forth
Between stability and what I want
And I'd rather go to sleep upon the floor
Than go do something that I never loved
But it's my life, I'm gonna take it

Cause I've been reaching autonomy (near 18)
And looking for the answer, I found me
And through the looking glass
I saw the future, not the past
Far behind me
Cause the answer to myself is inside me

I was reaching
Yeah, I was reaching
I was reaching
I was reaching
I saw the future, not the past
I was reaching
I was reaching
Cause I was-

Cause the answer to myself is inside me

(No, and I think probably you're right; I think that's what most people are looking for
I think they're looking for an answer outside of themselves and their never going to find it)

------------------------------
Take a minute, breathe
You've got all of the time in the world
Just a moment, see
All the opportunity at your door
Let go of your needs, all your anxiety
Just find peace in yourself
Just breathe
Just breathe

'Nother second passed
Seems the world keeps on spinning too fast
I'm tired of running; never lasts
In the darkness of shadows I cast
Let go of your needs, all your anxiety
Just find peace in yourself
And just breathe
Just breathe

Oh, breathe (let go of your needs)
Breathe
I'm only human

Just breathe
Just breathe
Breathe
Just breathe

breathe

track iii out of v
_________________________________

Look I don't wanna
Go home and regret the things I done
Saying that should've chased after the passion that I once had loved
Cause I move in like a month
And as far I'm concerned all I know is that I just live once
Ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh
No
Ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh

Don't be scared
We're in this together
And I'm tired of waiting on something to give my life worth
Cause all I think about is
When I'm gon' get up out this excuse of town
Maybe cover some ground
It'll take leaps and some bounds, but I'm
Used to being covered in dirt

But I can't live on some wishes
It's survival of the fittest
And I don't fit in a mold
I know exactly what I want
And I won't stop until I've had more than my fill
I got dreams that I'm chasing
And I refuse to wait 'cause I don't wanna

Go home and regret the things I done
Saying that should've chased after the passion that I once had loved
Cause I move in like a month
And as far I'm concerned all I know is that I just live once
Ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh
No
Ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh

And I learned to stop caring 'bout what people think
Cause I'm not about to sit and do the same old thing
I write what's on my mind so I can cope
And deal with trials and tribulations that exist inside my soul
Take a breath in, clear my headspace
Cause I got a long road ahead of me
But I ain't folding under pressure any day
And I've been fighting with myself way too much
Trying to figure out what i want
I just think I had to realize
Thats it's my life, and I know,

But I can't live on some wishes
It's survival of the fittest
And I don't fit in a mold
I know exactly what I want
And I won't stop until I've had more than my fill
I got dreams that I'm chasing
And I refuse to wait 'cause I don't wanna...

I won't go home, I won't go home, no (Yeah)
No
I won't go home, I won't go home, no
But I can't live on some wishes
It's survival of the fittest (I won't go home)
And I don't fit in a mold (I won't go home, no)
I know exactly what I want
And I won't stop until I've had more than my fill (I won't go home)
I got dreams that I'm chasing (I won't go home, no)
And I refuse to wait 'cause I don't wanna

There's more to me than meets the eye
I watched as time just passed me by
Cause I was living in the past
With no vision for the future
But now I've got my life in my hands...
And I don't wanna go home.

Well, that's an interesting question, and I believe if a person will start to study that

Lyrics:

Please just give me time
I'm trying to figure out my way home
￼Maybe it’s all in my mind
Maybe that's just why i feel alone
I don’t know where I’m going
But I better figure out that soon
We’re animals but I love it
Take a bite it’ll be my doom

But I don’t wanna cry 'cause I let you down
'Cause I don’t know myself
So how could I be helping to your heart?
Only 17 but I mean what I say
There’s no “u” in we but I need you to stay
Fall down on my knees
It’s not you baby it’s me

I don’t want to lose
All these feelings I caught
All I want is you
Nothing new; I don’t want
But I know that I put you through, like, a lot
You don’t gotta tell me
It ain’t news to your heart

Who am I?
I don’t mean who am I?
I just mean I’m a lie
Do or die
Already dead inside
But I know you’re alive
I just know you’re alive
Look me in the eyes
I know I’m broken
But baby are you alright?

But I don’t wanna cry 'cause I let you down
'Cause I don’t know myself
So how could I be helping to your heart?
Only 17 but I mean what I say
There’s no “u” in "we", but I need you to stay
Fall down on my knees
It’s not you baby it’s me

I’m trying to figure out my life
Living in a house of lies
All alone
But I’m running out of time
I keep running out of time
This is suicide
I’m trying to figure out my life
Living in a house of lies
All alone
But I’m running out of time
I keep running out of time
This is suicide

But I don’t wanna cry 'cause I let you down
'Cause I don’t know myself
So how could I be helping to your heart?
Only 17 but I mean what I say
There’s no “u” in "we", but I need you to stay

I'm down on my knees (I can't do this..)
It’s not you baby it’s me

Its Not You Its Me - David Alexander (f.k.a)

Luke White on the beat

XXXTENTACION:

You ever seen a nigga hung with a gold chain?
I'd rather sing about the same things that we claim
Such is bashful, but niggas like the task force
Mobbin' on the streets and robbin' stores in ski masks, bruh
Niggas ask for peace in a riot and bring violence
'Cause it's a game of cat and mouse and you gon' bleed silent
What's the justice in sayin' fuck it and grab the pump?
Then kill a woman with many children makes you a chump
Look at all the stores you wreckin', nigga I reckon
Think about the people who own it for about a second
I know you got your problems, but brother, they got theirs
This is not a game, quit violence and grow a pair
But yo, you'd rather hear me say, "Fuck black prejudice"
"Let's murder different races, grow hatred, and form irrelevant"
Views and etcetera, knives thrown
Damage 'em, lives blown, oblivion hole cold, oblivious
I won't dare say that you should stop the fuckin' ignorance

David Alexander:

Stop the fucking ignorance
2020 still with this shit
But instead of fixing it
More lives get put at risk
Black lives to white
There’s no sides and nobody’s winning shit

I done had it
I’ll admit there’s changes here that need to happen
But the fact that blacks are trashing stores and jobs are kinda wack
And I can have a say in this matter, not 'cause of my own skin
But what’s within is saying this is wrong to fight among men
Who breach the peace of protest
To leech to please their own self
To prey upon the weak and preach a speech about their own health
Black Lives Matter, but don't you prey upon the innocents
With businesses they built up from the ground when they were penniless
It’s meaningless

I’m speaking right from where my gut is
I’m mad for Floyd but how’s terror gon' bring him justice
If this ain’t wrong then I don’t even know what is
Love the thought of a protest but hate is standing where love did

Wanting peace in a riot that we birthed
Black or white; stop fighting we came from the same earth
BLM for life but these riots just bring hurt
You wanna fix the problem stop thinking ‘bout “Me First”

Lyrics:

I lie awake

Falling apart

When you went away

I’ve lost my heart

Like autumn turns cold

I’ve got a hole

Where you once were

Save our Souls

[Ooo]

Save our Souls

[Ooo]

Save our Souls


I can’t move on

No matter how hard I try

(try try try try)

A rose of gold

You were one of a kind


Like autumn turns cold

I’ve got a hole

Where you once were

Save our Souls


[Voice Memo]


Like autumn turns cold

I’ve got a hole

Where you once were

Save our Souls


[Instrumental]


Like autumn turns cold

I’ve got a hole

Where you once

Save our Souls
