Slow Love

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Guess when you left it didn't mean a thing You ain't fuck with the confidence that I bring I guess you didn't want the ring I would've treated you right (I would've treated you) Wonder if it keeps you up at night Like did you chose what's best for you Or did you just push everyone good out of your life (Yeah) I liked you And that something I don't say too often Was it because I thought about moving to Austin And you wanted to live on the coast (You wanted to live on the coast) Or was it because you were worried about staying afloat I always wanted to follow my dreams but maybe you wanted a man that won't (Maybe You Wanted a man) Maybe you wanted that 9-5 That half alive That douchebag guy that cheats on his wife Fuck that Tell me What is the meaning of life if you never live the life that you want (Live the life that you Want) That doesn't sound like a life It sounds like survive I'm gonna thrive I'm gonna make it and retire at 35 With a beautiful wife And beautiful kids And look back on the many years And think damn she was the cause of all of these tears (Yeah) I got over my fears I lift up my glass to all of my family (Yeah) And they all saying cheers [Chorus] I thought you were the one I guess I was wrong But it's taken me this long To know that I would rather be alone Then to spend another minute with a woman who just wanted me (She wanted me) Gone [Verse 2] Yeah Everyday when I wake up I wonder what I could've done Or I should've done But that's not no way to live Get the fuck out of my mind (Get out of my mind) Spending my time with the ones that give it back I'm still intact I'm getting used to taking off the mask And remembering that it's okay to be sad You can't always be happy (Yeah) But it's about knowing what's working and what's not Get all your shit in check and don't worry bout what doors are locked Just focus on what you got I know that it's hard but it's all in your thoughts The quicker you change the path the better you feel The better you have a chance to heal that wound that's been there for too long Know that as I write this song I got about 20 (I got about 20) But it's never too many Cause the best currency it ain't pennies It's finding the meaning of life So pick yourself and take my advice I'd rather live a life full of the best shit Then to leave this earth with nothing but pain Containing myself in a box full of hate If you let it take over your body you'll never be great (Naw) It's something that's hard to do but it worth it (Yeah) Don't let your life go to waste [Chorus] I thought you were the one I guess I was wrong But it's taken me this long To know that I would rather be alone Then to spend another minute with a woman who just wanted me (She wanted me) Gone [Verse 3] She wanted me gone And it's hard The only time I feel like things are going right Is when everything's wrong (Yeah) This is the longest I've been alone since 15 It's good for me I'm taking a break while I hit I hit the brakes Cause I'm sick of having my heart ache (Sick of having my heart ache) I've been asleep I'm now awake I set the stakes And I'm shaping myself into what I want (Yeah) I'm shooting my shot Planning my life with a lot of love in my heart Patiently waiting for the woman of my dreams I'm ready to love again my self esteem is high No longer rely on others for happiness And I can't wait till I'm finally at my happiest It's coming up I don't give a fuck if you hate (Yeah) I've dealt with this shit my whole life It's no longer a weight on my chest The most important thing is to be at my best Mentally it ain't hard to get stressed (Yeah) So I'm gonna take all the time that I need I'm probably gonna smoke a shit ton of weed I'm planting a seed for the rest of my life and I'm watching it grow (Yeah) This ain't where I thought I'd be just a year ago But it's all apart of the journey and this year I'm taking it slow
