      Am
I was three years old

All I wanted was the music and
   Em
My parents were doing everything they could
        Am
To move away from our place working over time always
        Em                                                Am
While I sat up in my grandma's project building coloring, oh

                                                 Em
Moved to a small town and started to, started to grow
                                         Am
Poetry written, I'm singing and dancing, oh

Photographs, painting, cartoons
             Em
That's all I know

That's all I know, oh

       Am
I have one best friend to this very fucking day
              Em
Since we were five years old and I fucking moved away
         Am
I wish I never did cause she's the only one who sees me
    Em                                           Am
For who I really am instead of how many I reach, oh

                                          Em
Trusted too many fake people while I was still young
                                          Am
Gave them the benefit of the doubt, I was so wrong
                                             Em
I cut them off and they came for blood cause they know

They ain't getting no more

       Am
I'm so done with playing piggy back, oh
         Em
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best, oh
       Am
You're lying your way to try to gain a piece of me
         Em
When you could never come close cause I know my destiny
         Am
I worked hard for my shit

Put my love in this shit
           Em
Now you're trying to kill my name for some fame

What is this?
         Am
Tried to help you do your shit

Encouraged you to work on it
      Em
Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

        Am
Now I'm 22 and I've had a crazy year of
   Em
Isolation from all the plastic people here
         Am
I cannot wait for the day

I can finally move away
        Em                                                  Am
Back to New York City where the realest people really stay, oh

                                                Em
Spent this whole time writing away my heart and my soul
                                                     Am
The people I surround myself with have hearts filled with gold
                                           Em
Love and empathy are things that we hold so close

Trying to learn and evolve
