How can you love someone and learn to let them go?
How can we fall apart on things we'll never know?
And isn't it funny you can change your ways
For someone to fill in your empty space?
Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?

Yeah, I got somebody I love (yeah)
Someone who's really important to me, but now they addicted to drugs (damn)
Someone who not who they used to be and we ain't been keepin' in touch (yeah)
I ain't gonna say any names at all 'cause I don't want no one to judge (whoa)
But I wrote this song in hopes when they'll hear it, they'll never forget who they was
I hope you feelin' your spirit enough (Joyner)
I wanna just tell you I love you in case that you really don't hear it as much (whoa)
I know we ain't talked in a while, but fuck it, I really don't care what it was
I wanna reach out, but you keep on shuttin' me down, or you ain't been carin' as much
And what the fuck happened to you? (Fuck happened to you?)
You're losin' a fight (damn)
I never thought I'd see the day that you let addiction ruin your life
Everyone callin' that shit a disease and makin' you feel like you in the right
But I hate the fact that you really be usin' that as an excuse to do what you like
Or do what you might (do what you might, whoa)
And I keep on prayin' and reachin' for you
I hope you look in the mirror and see all the things I been seein' in you
Hope your reflection'll send you a message and show you this shit is much deeper than you
If you don't believe in yourself, then you'll never believe in somebody believin' in you
When I gotta tell you truth (tell you the truth)
'Cause I'm 'bout to lose it (lose it)
And you in denial about it and just wanna make up a million excuses
Tearin' our family apart, but you'll leave us scarred and everyone bruises
Every decision affectin' us all and if you get lost, then everyone loses
For real
And I'ma be next to leave
I know that God got a plan and He ain't fulfillin' your destiny
Much as I need you, I will not be stickin' around or watchin' you rest in peace
I promise, I love you, but I gotta do what's best for me

How can you love someone and learn to let them go?
How can we fall apart on things we'll never know?
And isn't it funny you can change your ways
For someone to fill in your empty space?
Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?

Look, I know you been callin' for me (yeah)
You hittin' my phone, but I been alone so long I'm harder to reach (Joyner)
I know you ain't say any names, but I got a feeling you talkin' to me
I hate when these demons get into my soul, I feel like I'm caught in the beefs (uh)
How do I let go of something I know is bigger and stronger than me?
If I could be honest, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not who you want me to be (nah)
Nobody is perfect, not even you, so why you keep targettin' me?
I feel like we can't even have a genuine convo without you startin' to preach
I feel like a dog on a leash, it's not what I need
Livin' in hell, warned you when I gotta leave, like how can I breathe?
And how you gon' tell me addiction's not a disease? Fuck do you mean?
If it's not a disease, then why has it gotten to me? It's not what it seems
But you always be makin' me feel like the problem's me
I'm not gonna be who you want me to be, let God decide it for me
And speakin' of God, how the fuck you know all of the plan's He's gotten for me?
So give me a break
I been inchin' away from tryna get outta this dream, I'm driftin' away
How come you only there for me when I be tryna get clean? My biggest mistake
Is me wishin' that things were different, I feel like the drugs is made for sinnin'
It's why I been stuck in the same position, fuck
I'm fallin', but I cannot budge
Been wonderin' why I'm in love with a strange addiction
And why the fuck you always playin' the victim
Lot of this shit that you hate to mention
It sucks 'cause I had to taint your vision
But ain't nothin' left for me
So you could just quit addressin' me
I guess it's just my destiny
So take me as I am or let me be, tired of you stressin' me
'Cause shit, I gotta do what's best for me

How can you love someone and learn to let them go?
How can we fall apart on things we'll never know?
And isn't it funny you can change your ways
For someone to fill in your empty space?
Tell me, is it really love if you have to ask if they'll stay?
