How can you love someone and learn to let them go? How can we fall apart on things we'll never know? Isn't it funny you can change your ways For someone to fill in your empty space? Tell me is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay? Yeah, I got somebody I love Someone who's really important to me but now they addicted to drugs Someone who's not who they used to be and we ain't been keeping in touch

I ain't gonna say any names at all cause I don't want no one to judge But I wrote the song I hope someone that hear it through never forget who they was I hope you're feeling your spirit enough I wanna just tell you I love you in case that you really don't hear it as much I know we ain't talked in a while but fuck it I really don't care what it was I wanna reach out but you keep on trying to be down Or you ain't been caring as much

And what the fuck happened to you? You losing the fight I never thought I'd see the day that you let addiction ruin your life Everyone calling that shit a disease and making you feel like you in the right But I hate the fact that you really be using that as an excuse To do what you like or do what you might And I keep on praying to reach it for you I hope you look in the mirror and see all the things I've been seeing in you

Hope your reflection will send you a message and show you this shit is much deeper than you If you don't believe in yourself then you'll never believe in somebody believing in you When I gotta tell you the truth Cause I'm bout to lose it And you in denial about it and just wanna make up a million excuses Tearing our family apart But you leave us scarred and everyone bruises Every decision affecting us all

And if you get lost then everyone loses For real And I'ma be next to leave I know that God got a plan and you ain't fulfilling your destiny Much as I need you I will not be sticking around or watching you rest in peace I promise I love you but I gotta do what's best for me How can you love someone and learn to let them go? How can we fall apart on things we'll never know? And isn't it funny you can change your ways

But someone defending your empty space Tell me is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay? Look, I know you've been calling for me You're hitting my phone but I've been alone so long I'm harder to reach I know you ain't say any names but I got a feeling you talking to me I hate when these demons get into my soul I feel like I'm caught in the beef How do I let go of something I know is bigger and stronger than me?

If I could be honest I'll tell you the truth I'm not who you want me to be Nobody is perfect not even you so why you keep targeting me? I feel like we can't even have a genuine convo without you starting to preach I feel like a dog on a leash it's not what I need Living in hell wondering when I gotta leave like how can I breathe? How you gonna tell me addiction's not a disease? What do you mean? If it's not a disease then why has it gotten to me?

It's not what it seems But you always be making me feel like the problem is me I'm not gonna be who you want me to be Let God decide it for me And speaking of God How the fuck you know all of the plans he's got for me? So give me a break I've been inching away from trying to get out of this dream I'm drifting away How come you only there for me when I be trying to get clean? My biggest mistake Is me wishing that things were different

I felt like the drugs was made for sinning That's why I've been stuck in the same position Fuck I'm falling but I cannot budge Been wondering why I'm in love with a strange addiction And why the fuck you always playing a victim? A lot of this shit that you hate to mention It sucks that I had to change your vision But ain't nothing left for me So you can just quit addressing me I guess it's just my destiny So take me as I am

Or let me be Tired of you stressing me Cause shit I gotta do is best for me How can you love someone And learn to let them go? How can we fall apart On things we'll never know? Isn't it funny you can change your ways For someone to fill in your empty space? Tell me is it really love If you have to ask if they'll stay?
