Macklemore - TEARS lyrics

Tears girl, dry the tears from your eyes

It's like i met you at my parent's
House when I was fourteen
Seen you my whole life but never got to me
You'd always post in the kitchen
I knew the shelf you lived in
Above where the fridge is
But we never kicked it
Finally I decided to pull you down
Had Pac in the background
Pulled the shot glasses out
Grabbed you by your neck even
Though we just met
Hеld you close, felt the firе burn my throat
Warmth like the Holy Ghost
I remember thinkin', "Is this real life?"
I had two and wondered what
Four more would feel like
Predisposed to having an obsession
Codependent before we even had a friendship
Had a dozen of you, already loved you
I couldn't stop
Got on the metro stumbling to
Third and Pine block hit the Micky D's
Puked all over the restaurant
Our first date was already
Runnin' from the cops, like

I ride with you, lie for you
My tried and true, love I never knew, uh
It kills me to think of a life without you
But sometimes I wonder if you
Want me to die too

In highschool our relationship was abusive
Addicted to bein' together
Couldn't control my usage
We pass out together on a stranger's lawn
Woke up in a random car too gone
To make it to my own prom
But, I had to have you even
Though we'd pass out in bathrooms
Take a month off to show
Myself, I know myself, don't need no help
Forget the pain, pourin' rain
Brown bag full of guilt and shame
Mistress controllin' my head
Getting arrested
Not rememberin' anything that I said
And I knew then that I should've left
And I could see if I didn't leave
You'd lead me to death but

I ride with you, lie for you
My tried and true, love I never knew, uh
It kills me to think of a life without you
But sometimes I wonder if you
Want me to die too

Bitch, you killed my uncle
You're fuckin' trouble
Socially acceptable and oh, so subtle
You ruined my life and I fucking loved you
Promised relief and left me with a
Rusty shovel and some busted rubble
Pieces of my life that you destroyed
Was once freedom and joy
Was now depression, bein' unemployed
And I knew I had to change it and face it
And checked into rehab and
Twenty-eight days later
I remembered who I really was
I remembered where I'm really from
I remembered the beauty of the present moment
That you only get when you
Connect to the Creator
And the breath inside the chest
That fully fills your lungs
I found the people with the same allergy
And what I thought was love
Was really just my disease
I always thought the problem was
You and couldn't believe
When I learned that the whole
Time my issue was me

I ride with you, lie for you
My tried and true, love I never knew, uh
It kills me to think of a life without you
But sometimes I wonder if you
Want me to die too
I ride with you, lie for you
My tried and true, love I never knew
It kills me to think of a life without you
But sometimes I wonder if you
Want me to die too
