lyrics

Took advantage of a few
But I never really knew
How it would change ahead
But it’s comin’ in red
And I don’t know if my life is truly dead
I made a lot of mistakes that you didn’t even see
Thinkin’ about it now, it’s actually killin’ me
But you’re in heaven, I don’t need to say a thing
Just accept this apology as a simple note from me
I’m thinkin’ about all the times we had
Sometimes I even think of you as my dad
You can’t even change that
But, yeah, it’s rad
I just want you to know one thing
Thank you for savin’ me through thick and thin
It’s been three years, gotta wear a grin
Gotta look back at the times we had
I can’t even change that
But, yeah, you got my back

I neglected you, when you always cared
I neglected you, when you were always there
I neglected you, but it’s too late to see that
I neglected you now you’re not there for me

I neglected you and you didn’t really care
You loved me unconditionally, never even stared
But the sad thing is, I can’t live with that
I can’t really stand knowin’ I abused that
The thing is, you’re deep inside my heart
I always look back at the day I call the start
I wanna go back to that time
To tell myself, “don’t mess up your mind”
“You gonna regret that one day”
You know what? I don’t know what to say
When I’m spittin’ on this track
I just wanna go back to my wrong
And take it back
And spit about it on another song
But I’m losin’ my train of thought
I just wanna go back to the start
And never abuse the people like I have
Please forgive me, take me back?

I neglected you, when you always cared
I neglected you, when you were always there
I neglected you, but it’s too late to see that
I neglected you now you’re not there for me
Sometimes life turns to absolute shit
But if you have hope
And you stay strong
It’s all gonna be ok
Trust me
Listen up

This is my apology for those who I have hurt
I wanna take it back, like suicide to Kurt
I have brought a lot pain
And in the past it was a game
And my life will never ever be the same
So I must live up to all of my mistakes
And the pain is simply just way too much to handle
I gotta decrease the hump, alas I’m not a camel
But even so, I gotta stay strong
Everyone’s forgiven me, even for my wrong
But just know the pain is still there
And I don’t expect to hear an “I don’t care”
Because I do and it’s never goin’ away
That’s the end of this track, man
I don’t know what else to say
But I still got four bars to kill
That’s the end of death, cause I’ma live still
So listen close, homie, cause goodness is for real
And no, that’s not a steal

I neglected you, when you always cared
I neglected you, when you were always there
I neglected you, but it’s too late to see that
I neglected you now you’re not there for me
