Emawk - Vintage

i left my guards on ice
i let the stars align
thought that it was worth the cold
it wasn’t worth it
skated round the issue till the floor flew
followed all your flaws till mine found something true
i traded memories for forgiveness
think you forgave me
but i couldn’t forget

what you tryna hide, just say what you mean

you sounded like truth
i used to want to talk like you
till your fears cut me down
you celebrated like a clown
while i up and moved states
funny where your mind can take you
a time, a place, a season, child
it’s funny how my dreams became my here and now
i let go of what you said
and embraced my brokenness
and life called me by my
pain/name

what you tryna hide, just say what you mean

believe what you want, i leave you be

i apologize for apologizing to save face
to save your face from mine, to make sure i’m not on your mind
i empathize with weary eyes, i know them well
but you don’t know me any better than you know yourself

go know yourself
