Cryptic Wisdom
The Life We Knew
I can not take it...
I'm falling and breaking, dying...

You were reason of this heartbreak
Fuck time, I'ma take mine while I dart straight
You were the reason for everything that I did
Now it's over, hope you think of the memories and you cringe

Maybe I'm bitter, maybe I went insane
The day that you left me or the day that you made it plain
I knew that it was over before it even occurred
It was tearing at the seams and sleeping deep in the dirt

Never saw it coming, I was running for long term
Never meant for this to happen or wanted the harsh words
It's a given, with me and you talking, I'm finna lose it
I'ma do something so crazy, I need to know what you're choosing

Is it me? Is it him? Is it something else that you need
And I couldn't read it, achieve it or even start to perceive it
Leaving me bleeding was the plan, I know that it's gotta be
How the fuck would it've changed so fast? That shit is odd to me

I thought I would've spent my life with you
I never knew this cold-blooded new side of you
I can not take it...
I'm falling and breaking, dying...

I never would've done it, I'd have died for you
But now it's time for goodbye to the life we knew
I can not take it...
I'm falling and breaking, dying...

And I don't think we're gonna make amends
I've been on the fence since we started hanging out as friends
I can't sleep at night, knowing that you ain't mine
But in time, you will see it, nobody else intertwines

In the same sense... You see me and you, we were envious
Everybody had seen it the second we started stepping
Holding hands, love was within it in the beginning
Retaining, remaining pure, though in a minute, diminished

I just needed you to see a new side of love and be free
It was never my intention to smother you with my needs
I'ma back off, I would do it for you to know
That whatever the damn drama, I'm sticking through high and low

Just to show, that I ain't afraid of what you can offer me
I would never go nuts and treat you as if you're my property
Believe, but if you don't desire me back
Then don't be mad at me when I use it to write a new track

Is this the life that we were meant to live?
Cause yo, I swear there's been some censorship
But I'm just trying to make the best of it
I'll truck it through the pain if you'll just give me some messages
