1107 Addressing the Emotional Recession: Insights from Joshua Freedman

Drugs

Song was dedicated to the Lead singer's parents. 


(Verse 1)
I used to think of someone else
And never thought of you in there
How I was off and putting you away

And now I'm dragging my little own will
Towards your precious softly self
I'll be reliable in your will

(Pre-chorus)
And if you're thinking of losing me 
In pain, I would try to go back and settle my credibility
I never wanna compare you with them 
because there is no reason when I am overwhelmed


(Chorus)
Ohhhh!
I'm standing here in front of you
And thinking of
 ways on what to do
So Forgive me!

Ohhhh!
But can't you see I'm begging here
So please let me go back to where I belong!

Verse 2:
I had recovered my ill from the combustion of disease
I had changed a little bit

But when temptation came to me I had a hard time to forget
So please come back to me again and I never thought that it would come this way again and again

(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
(Melody)
(Chorus)
