Late August
Feet start to shake heart starts to ache
Can’t focus
Panic, I lay on the floor and I hate that I’m holdin on
My lung will break can’t stop to make
My mind up
Time starts to rain clouds not afraid
Of the pain they giving
Anxious to where I’m breathin
Can’t say that I am longin for
Another day to break my spirit
Insane and I can’t tell who’s winnin
Wish this was somethin I could just ignore
Well you know What They Say (Ooh)
Lost souls make sure no one loses their way
Hurt ones can’t stand seein’ others in pain
Oh I am both now I got too much on my plate
And I save all the others cause for me it’s too
Nostalgic mind
I miss the days when my heart wouldn’t ache and
I’m drowning, time
Quicksand of life, we don’t livе to die
Now I’m tryna, fight
All of the lights that leavе me so blind
As a writer
But I’m not an actor no I don’t live my own
Life and I hate my feelings
I’m overwhelmed and heated
Can’t say that I am longing for
Another day to break my spirit
Insane and I can tell who’s winning
Wish this was something I could just ignore
Well you know What They Say (Ooh)
Lost souls make sure no one loses their way
Hurt ones can’t stand seeing others in pain
Oh I am both now I got too much on my plate
And I save all the others cause for me it’s too
Well you know What They Say (Ooh)
Lost souls make sure no one loses their way
Hurt ones can’t stand seeing others in pain
Oh I am both now I got too much on my plate
And I save all the others cause for me it’s too
I'll save all the others 'cause for me it's too late
Well, you know what they say (Ooh)
Let's all make sure no one loses their way
I almost can't stand seeing others in pain
I am bold, now I got too much on my plate
And I'll save all the others 'cause for me it's too— (Ooh)
Let's all make sure no one loses their way
I almost can't stand seeing others in pain
I am bold, now I got too much on my plate
And I'll save all the others 'cause for me it's too late
