[Intro]
Scotty Wu

[Chorus]
My heart is burstin'
I been feeling so small
My head is on overload
Where did I go wrong?
My lines are twistin'
I been giving my all
And I want more
Don't erase my song
My heart is burstin'
I been feeling so small
My head is on overload
Where did I go wrong?
My lines are twistin'
I been giving my all
And I want more
Don't erase my song

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wish I could cry all day
Something to make all the pain go away
Something to wash away all my mistakes
What is the price that I have to pay?
It started when I was really young
Before I could walk, I was learning how to run
Learning the places that I could hide the hurt
In hopes that the next step wouldn't be the gun
I was in search of the love that was missin'
'Cause to be loved, it was the only mission
Stuck in the broken-hearted tradition
I keep my heart locked in a guarded position
Drowning in tears, so many years
So many lies, fabled as fears
So many strings, some puppeteers
I am no dummy, so I presevere
At some point, I gotta be real
I fight back and I let 'em take me
They try to smile in my face
'Cause these bitches try to erase me
Tryna do me, tryna triumph
I don't ever wanna be silenced
I don't wanna live in defiance
I don't wanna be so reliant
I don't ever wanna wake up
And find out my ego is giant
I think I'm losing myself
And I need some guidance
As I put the pen to the pad
You can't erase that
It's bittersweet like tears
Can you taste that?

[Chorus]
My heart is burstin'
I been feeling so small
My head is on overload
Where did I go wrong?
My lines are twistin'
I been giving my all
And I want more
Don't erase my song
My heart is burstin'
I been feeling so small
My head is on overload
Where did I go wrong?
My lines are twistin'
I been giving my all
And I want more
Don't erase my song

[Verse 2]
I just told my mom I was okay, uh
Just so she wouldn't worry, uh
Sucks, I know she needed her bills paid
So I needed to rush in a hurry, uh
I needed to buy her a house
I needed to save all her health
I needed to give back to the one
Who taught me that money's not equal to wealth
Who taught me that family's nothin'
If the love doesn't have any meaning
Don't you get tired of being in love
Only when that shit's convenient?
Where is my home? Where is my place?
Where is a hand for me to embrace
Who's picking me up, put me into place?
I'm sick of the snakes and dealing with fakes
At some point, I gotta be real
I fight back and I let 'em take me
They try to smile in my face
'Cause these bitches try to erase me
Pickin' at every part of my being
Look in the mirror, I wish I could see me
But all I see is mixed feelings
You can't even tell I stopped breathing
You can't even tell I'm still standing
'Cause my job's been so demanding
Everything I do, they reprimand me
I swear it's a misunderstanding
As I put the pen to the pad
You can't erase that
It's bittersweet like tears
Can you taste that?

[Chorus]
My heart is burstin'
I been feeling so small
My head is on overload
Where did I go wrong?
My lines are twistin'
I been giving my all
And I want more
Don't erase my song
My heart is burstin'
I been feeling so small
My head is on overload
Where did I go wrong?
My lines are twistin'
I been giving my all
And I want more
Don't erase my song
