(Album: 2609 - 2017)

You don't say my name the way you used to
La-da-di-da
You don't say my name the way you...
You don't say my name the way you used to
La-da-di-da-da
You don't say my name the way you used to
La-da-di-da-da
Maybe it's the high (high)
Maybe it's the drugs (drugs)
Maybe it's the time (time)
Maybe it's your love (love, love, love)
You don't say my name the way you used to

I ain't been home in a while
Should call my momma, I won't
I just don't know what I want
My mom be gone, yes I know
So I might tell you that I'm cool
I'm more on a search for my soul
And everything that I'm owed
The devil's lurking, I know
I guess the love faded, it's like it wasn't even there
Is it the drugs maybe? They got me high in the air
I feel the buzz baby, this shit's enlightening I swear
I think you'll like it up here
I live my life with no care
I tell 'em

Time keeps passing by, by
You stay on my mind, mind
You don't say my name the way you used to
La-da-di-da-da
You don't say my name the way you used to
La-da-di-da-da
You don't say my name the way you used to
La-da-di-da-da
Maybe it's the high (high)
Maybe it's the drugs (drugs)
Maybe it's the time (time)
Maybe it's your love (love, love, love)
You don't say my name the way you used to
La-da-di-da-da

I gave all of my sacrifice, I tell 'em just to make it happen
Different states and couches I've been sleeping, oh you can't imagine
I've been on this hopeless quest, no GPS, like where the map is?
I've been on the road to zest to ease the stress, to all the madness
Matching tempos and tones, just trying to make sure they're straight
There's no balance, just repetition, same shit everyday
I hope you never follow me, I'm still unsure of the way
See I'm no better or worse, before whatever it's worth
You can do anything you wish to do, you don't have to be miserable
The sky's the fucking limit
Woah, that's cliché
I must say
The longest I stay focused, we gon' make it happen one day
The sound like holy sermons, the gospel like Sunday service

Time keeps passing by, by
You stay on my mind, mind
You don't say my name the way you used to
La-da-di-da-da
You don't say my name the way you used to
La-da-di-da-da
You don't say my name the way you used to
La-da-di-da-da
Maybe it's the high (high)
Maybe it's the drugs (drugs)
Maybe it's the time (time)
Maybe it's your love (love, love, love)
You don't say my name the way you used to
La-da-di-da-da
La-da-di-da-da
La-da-di-da-da
