The Same

(album: New Normal - 2019)

I remember when I met you girl, shit, how could I forget?
You was best friends with the lady of a homie in my set
Walked into his back yard, stole the breath right out my chest
If you knew then what you know now would you do it all again?
All the years passed, water under bridges that I burned
As we headed down this road, navigating twists and turns
Leading right up to this moment, you and me standing frozen
Overcome, numb, must have hit a nerve
Now you're seeing a different side of me
Demons that I had inside of me
So would you still side with me? Are you down to ride with me?
Tell me what you're thinking at the sight of me
'Cause the truth is that you don't look the same either
Thought we was in this deep then it got way deeper
My goal to hold on to you, 'cause I know you are a keeper
It don't take a mind reader just to see that

She don't look at me the same
But I don't blame her
There's nothing left to say
Got me feeling like a stranger
Said, "Girl, I been down for you", yeah
Said, "Girl, I been down for you", yeah
But still you wanna change
My goal to hold on to you, 'cause I know you are a keeper
It don't take a mind reader just to see that

She don't look at me the same
But I don't blame her
There's nothing left to say
Got me feeling like a stranger
Said, "Girl, I been down for you", yeah
"Girl, I been down for you", yeah
But still you wanna change
When we said we'd never change up

How can two people so close go and grow so distant?
I guess nothing stays the same, thought we'd be different
But something's missing, 'cause still you don't look at me the same
These thoughts keep on running through my brain
I can't take it anymore, and you cannot un-see the things you saw
After everything we've been through can't be who we were before, for sure
But still, you don't look at me the same
Now all that is left is pain

She don't look at me the same
But I don't blame her
There's nothing left to say, yeah
Got me feeling like a stranger
Said, "Girl, I been down for you", yeah
Said, "Girl, I been down for you", yeah
But still you wanna change
My goal to hold on to you, 'cause I know you are a keeper
When we said we'd never change up, wa-whoa, wa-oh, whoa-oh
It don't take a mind reader just to see that she don't look at me the same
