Who was I before I told myself I wasn't worth it Before I spent my time obsessed tryna find my purpose Worried I'd be seen as worthless if I wasn't perfect Looked at happiness and told myself I don't deserve it Before I was beaten up and damaged as a person Kept it secret God forbid they knew that I was hurting Before I put on the mask to act like I was perfect That was my disguise I don't think its working Back when life was full of wonder and imagination I was a superhero in the world that I created Saved the city from the monsters that I was steady slaying Then I got older and the monsters in my mind invaded Before reality came and took my dreams and tried to break 'em Laughed at all my expectations said I was mistaken Said life ain't what you make it, it belongs to those who made it So ain't no point in having dreams cuz someones bound to Take 'em, right Back when I hoped there was hope Back when I hoped there was hope Take Me Back, Back now Take me back back, take me back back Back in the days where I'd sit back in my room and play Main concern was if my mom would let me stay up late When I ain't have to worry bout the bills I gotta pay Could relax cuz tomorrows just another day Back when I thought when I grow up life is gon' be great I can conquer anything once my mind was made Back before I knew the world would be so full of snakes And they'd do anything to pull me down along the way Back before I overthought the words that people say Living Dry meant to stay inside because of rain So Scared to fail and disappoint that if it's what it takes I'll Work myself into an early grave if it means people stay Before I struggled with these battles with mental obsession Was too young to understand the concept of depression Before I worried if I'm sad then everyone would blame me Don't ask me why, that's just a lie my mind is claiming I dunno what's going on, maybe there's something wrong In my skull, if I'm not involved then I'm scared I'll bomb Wish I could turn back the clock, dump the sands of time in jars Always scared I don't have long, for' it comes and stops my heart I could write a hundred songs and feel like it's not enough Am I moving forward or am I just being dragged along Stop the ride I need to pause, stop the ride I need to pause Back when I hoped there was hope Back when I hoped there was hope Take Me Back, Back now Take me back back, take me back back
