Genre: rb | Year: 2020

[Chorus]
Wrote down the teachings you gave
Remember it with my heart
You taught me how to behave
But I still didn't do my part
I was just stuck in my ways
Towing the line at the start
Your trust I know I betrayed
But my heart I hope you'll start

[Verse 1]
I know I never was an easy kid to raise
I know I didn't give you much to praise
And I apologize
Misguided in my ways, my mind was in a daze, I fell on darkened days
I felt so paralyzed
I partially lied to you, digging deep like a parasite
You burnt holes straight into my eyes, so I could finally see the light
And never was a single night my ceiling didn't shine so bright
I look to you when I'm trouble, look to you to fight my fights
Hoping you can make me right, to steer me clear of being wrong
'Cause every time I take that turn, you always know how far I'm gone
And all it takes is one mistake and I go straight back to the start
Searching for the light you shine, like the flames that burn these songs
[Chorus]
Wrote down the teachings you gave
Remember it with my heart
You taught me how to behave
But I still didn't do my part
I was just stuck in my ways
Towing the line at the start
Your trust I know I betrayed
But my heart I hope you'll start

[Verse 2]
I once heard that the word insanity
Means doing something over to the eight degree
Until finally something starts to just kick in
Well have I really just been living a sin?
Because your religion points to me feeling oh so fine
But at times I get some really heavy stuff on my mind
Why do I feel stressed every single goddamn night?
And why can't politicians make things right?
Got people starving in the streets, as fat cats got way too much to eat
Only food us homies get is tasteless Twitter fucking beef
We pick all of the lines apart and still the scraps have referees
With tendencies to forgot you, and all the rest including me

[Chorus]
Wrote down the teachings you gave
Remember it with my heart
You taught me how to behave
But I still didn't do my part
I was just stuck in my ways
Towing the line at the start
Your trust I know I betrayed
But my heart I hope you'll start
Wrote down the teachings you gave
Remember it with my heart
You taught me how to behave
But I still didn't do my part
I was just stuck in my ways
Towing the line at the start
Your trust I know I betrayed
But my heart I hope you'll start
