Things have been so crazy and hectic
I should have gotten back by now
But you know how much I wanted to make it
It's probably better anyhow
So if you gotta go
If there's anything I should know
If the spotlight makes you nervous
If you're looking for a purpose
You put the tea in the kettle and light it
Put your hand on the metal and feel it
But do you even feel it anymore
I remember when you thought I was joking
Now I'm off singing karaoke
Further than I've ever been
So if you gotta go
If there's anyway I can help
Isn't it ironic that the girl I wanna marry
Is a wedding planner?
Then tells me my life is too much
And then moves to Atlanta
Damn, of all the places you could go
I just thought you'd choose somewhere
That has somebody that you know
I'm always up too late, I worry 'bout you there alone
In that place you call your home, warm nights and cold patron
I hope you don't get known for nothing crazy
'Cause no man ever wants to hear no stories 'bout his lady
I know they say the first love is the sweetest
But that first cut is the deepest
I tried to keep us together, you were busy keeping secrets secret
You were tellin' everybody but me
Don't be fooled by the money
I'm still just young and unlucky
I'm surprised you couldn't tell
I was only tryna get ahead
I was only tryna get ahead
But the spotlight makes you nervous
And you're looking for a purpose
I was only tryna get ahead
I was only tryna get ahead
But the spotlight makes you nervous
