lyrics

Maybe it’s time to choose myself
Stuck in my head trying to please you
I forgot my own hue

Baby dreams
can turn into reality
Baby dreams

Take the clothes off my back
Add a layer to your turtle neck
Soon to understand self-sacrifice
Let me shiver and suffer for a sec (x2)

Daddy told me to be selfish
Act for myself
Be my own bitch
Stop working to heal others
Cause they ain’t looking to
Heal me

Daddy yes you’re right
But daddy I don’t know how to feel
when my hearts on the line
How to separate
My heart from my mind
When my hearts on the line.
How do you separate
your heart from mind?

Take the clothes off my back
Add a layer to your turtle neck
Soon to understand self-sacrifice
Let me shiver and suffer for a sec (x2)

Momma told me stop telling my business
If they only show up when you’re good
Then that’s deceiving
Not everybody's in your life
For the right reasons
So where you going?
Wh- wh- where you going?
I said
Why does perceived pain
Stay on my chest
For so long?
It lingers
on my smile
Like a stain
It’s gotta go

I take my time
plant my seeds
Let them grow
I say,
Girl you the shit no matter
What these people think

Take the clothes off my back
Add a layer to your turtle neck
Soon to understand self-sacrifice
Let me shiver and suffer for a sec (x2)
