Left foot, right, I've been walking alone.
Flights from Eiffel to Rome,
and I invite you to roam with me.
Lights up, legs up, Wi-Fi, silence my phone,
my kite caught lightening.
Please call fireman when we start fighting.
You tell me I'm not brave enough.
You tell me I'm not paid enough.
You tell me I'm not saving up.
You tell me I'm not safe enough.
You tell me, baby I know.
Ooh, baby I know.
But, I'm dangerous.
You tell me, "Baby, I know."
COVID-19, protests outside of my home.
Relatives dying alone.
Feels like I’m all on my own - you feel me?
While all of this is happening, conversations in my dome,
are asking me constantly:
“Are you on the path that you’re supposed to be?”
These voices keep telling me…
You’re not brave enough.
They tell me you’re not paid enough.
They tell me you’re not saving up.
They tell me you’re not safe enough.
They tell me, but maybe I know.
Ooh. maybe I know.
But, I’m still dangerous.
They tell me, "Then baby, let’s go."
Adult’s swimming, in Hell’s Kitchen, thoughts drifting,
On selfish women, who channeling their inner Mel
Gibson, lethal weapon, scene is hectic, in
Retrospect I should’ve seen this, before the feature see but
We were destined, she’s redemption, from previous lessons,
She played the terrorist stunt double, see in the credits
Seen the ending see the hero left on scene like text get
Like Keenan in "Don't Be A Menace...",
hand delivered, still she don’t see the message.
I see the blessing, despite the bleak aesthetic,
You can fight for sake of the team, or be the Kevin,
Take your skill set, somewhere else, and be a legend....
This verse seems pathetic uh
I’m not sane enough to stay here
I’m not brave enough to stay here
You not shaping up, we fade here
Baby, I’m gone.
I understand that you’re saying what you’re saying ‘cause you
love me so.
But, understand that your words weigh a ton and it’s taking a toll.
It’s bad enough I cause so much pain on my own,
poor suffering soul.
So something’s gotta give, and I’ve decided that it’s better that I
let you go.

Hey, it’s been a while since I have seen you.
The time before, you made me kind of mad.
Didn’t think this one would be the last I’d see your face.
And now, I’m wishing for those moments back.
You never know a precious moment
Until that moment’s gone.
Through your memory, I’ll continue holding on.
Because I’m so
Thankful…for the smile upon your face.
Yes, I’m thankful.
All our good times won’t be erased.
Though the sun has set, I won’t forget
How much you meant to me,
And when my time is done, I hope one day I’ll see
You again.
The day you left, I felt so cold and empty.
It hit me like a roundhouse to the chest.
What made it worse was feeling deeply guilty.
So long ago I should’ve laid my feelings to rest.
But, when I think about it all again,
The weight is lifted now.
I had one last chance to make you laugh and smile.
And I’m so
Thankful…for the smile upon your face.
Yes, I’m thankful.
All our good times won’t be erased.
Though the sun has set, I won’t forget
How much you meant to me,
And when my time is done, I hope one day I’ll see
Well, if I had the chance,
I’d have so much to say,
And I would celebrate and cherish you every day.
You were always there for me,
But it took losing you for me to see
I took you for granted,
And though I still grieve,
I’m still
Thankful…for the smile upon your face.
Yes, I’m thankful.
All our good times won’t be erased.
Though the sun has set, I won’t forget
How much you meant to me,
And when my time is done, I hope one day I’ll see
You again

Hello there
Merry Christmas how you been
Gee, it's so good to talk to you again
It's been a long, long time
Can't explain why you crossed my mind
I guess it's just to wish you a merry Christmas
My best friend's having a party
And everybody's going
I know it's gonna be a lot of fun, oh by the way
It's snowing
It's been a long long time
Can't explain why you crossed my mind
I guess it's just to say gee whiz it's Christmas
It's funny that I haven't thought to call you before
And why is it I haven't seen you around anymore
Another year has passed and I can't erase
The memory of your smiling face
So I have to call you up and say
Gee whiz it's Christmas
So don't forget the party that we're throwing
The warm fires of the fireplace
Will be glowing
It's been a long long time
I still can't figure out why you crossed my mind
I guess it's just to say gee whiz it's Christmas
I'm wishing you a merry, have a merry, merry Christmas
Gee whiz have a merry, merry, merry
