lyrics

love this life
my only one
still new to the world i'm a smoking gun
i've kept a lot to myself but i've spoken some
had a lot of heartbreaks mighta broken one
listen here i want to get it off my chest
if I hurt you once before i never meant to disrespect
and if i did
I probably didn't know what to expect
so caught up in my thoughts at times i mean i guess
I guess.. I guess I'm guessing
Where my heart was at the time, not even a question
Im second guessing
I musta been learning all my lessons
cause i never really was there and now this is my confession so..
this is my confessional..
try to stay professional
but i cant help it sometimes
when i'm talkin bout you on my mind
i just see you there
and clearly i cant help it all the time
my mind is working over time id be lying if i said it wasn't
i know said some bullshit, that i probably shouldn't
Probably wouldnt...
but what i have to lose nothing?
cause who am I if
i don't stand for somethin?

(Chorus)

You never know until its gone
ya know it miss
Why cant it feel the same way when you holding it?
Its like a battlefield I probably coulda told you this
but if i did back then you probably woulda never chosen it
I know it is, I know I miss, I hope it goes
i know it comes unexpected like nobody knows
its like a rose
growing from the concrete
A caged bird's first flight feeling more free
more we, more us, more togetherness
Less me, less I, I discovered this
nonetheless.. We fall, we grow
like the pedals from the rose
the feathers from a crow..
the letters still show,
words still spell out
hoping when you get that day
one day you won't sell out
and i can say proudly damn momma i'm a man now
i know you understand and you hoped that it would pan out
but this is life..
We Live and let go
sometimes we living to forgive em thats a given you know
and we sinning while we living but that's life I suppose
n if we knew from the beginning
whats the sense of it all?

i stand for something so tall..
