Persistence is always easy when you're self assured
But I've never been that
No, not for one second, no
Promises made to myself were all in my head
It kept me in the dark
With no conversations

But don't you ever leave me here
I've been fighting for a higher purpose, uh-uh
And don't you ever run with fear, no, no
'Cause you'll never see beneath the surface, the surface

And never put all your hopes in hoping
'Cause the silence will be golden statues in a moment
Don't get lost, lost, lost, lost, lost
Don't get lost, lost, lost, lost, lost

I'm stress sleeping, I don't feel like myself at all
Phone my man to unwind (phone my man to unwind)
But he's working, he don't have time (but he don't have the time)
Scrolling hoping to find the answer to my prayers
But hun, take it from me (take it from me), that won't make you happy

But don't you ever leave me here
I've been fighting for a higher purpose, uh-uh
And don't you ever run with fear, no, no (don't you ever run with fear)
'Cause you'll never see beneath the surface, the surface

And never put all your hopes in hoping
'Cause the silence will be golden statues in a moment
Don't get lost, lost, lost, lost, lost
Don't get lost, lost, lost, lost, lost
