[Verse 1]
I got issues that I fight, I lose
Caught in my feelings
I try, but not dealing
Never learned to cope, so I turn to dope (I turn to dope)
Fall from the reeling
Stuck watching the ceiling
I am paralyzed
Is this my demise?

[Chorus]
Just being real, just being honest
How could you want this?
When I cannot promise
Things will get better
I thought it was over
Now that I'm sober
And I'm getting older
Just being real, just being honest
How could you want this?
When I cannot promise
Things will get better
I thought it was over
Now that I'm sober
And I'm getting older
[Post-Chorus]
Just being real

[Verse 2]
One thing's for certain, I feel a burden
Not tryna put this weight on you
As I roll up the curtain
Welcome to the shit show
Didn't plan on going so low
Got me reaching for the bottle
And I bet you did not know, know

[Pre-Chorus]
That I could tell you lies
Truth is in my eyes

[Chorus]
I'm just being real, just being honest
How could you want this?
When I cannot promise
Things will get better
I thought it was over
Now that I'm sober
And I'm getting older
Just being real, just being honest
How could you want this?
When I cannot promise
Things will get better
I thought it was over
Now that I'm sober
And I'm getting older
[Post-Chorus]
Just being (Real)
Just being (Honest)
How could you (Want this?)
How could you (Want this?)

[Outro]
I've been down, I've been out
Yeah, you said you got my back
With no doubt
Lovin' me through all my shit
Loyal, devout
But my mind plays tricks on me
Burn you out, burn you out
I've been down, I've been out
And you said you had my back with no doubt
Only a matter of time, you'll turn around
And realize I'm too much for you
Better off without (Yeah), off without
