lyrics

(Verse 1: Chill Moody)
So foolish of me
Thought to put it in a song so you wouldn't leave
I figured that you would believe
Thought with cards face up, finally you'd be pleased
Smokin' aces, i kept two up my sleeve

Chips all down now
Hearing new sounds, round, town
I know you heard, too
I showed it all, never went commercial
Once it all clicked, wished I could throw it in reversal
in retrospect, the past gonna always hurt you

But know I worked through,
All the pain
That I caused, and sustained
Won awards, hittin' tours
But every time that it rains,
The only thing that remains
Trapped inside your head,
A simple phrase,
And it should be said

(Chorus 1: Elle Gyandoh)
Remember with a broken heart
The wisdom that your soul imparts
Will lead you on a journey far from here

And though the light feels miles away,
The braving of another day,
Will help to bring the vision ever near

(Verse 2: Chill Moody)
20/20 hindsight for the year
Self reflection my vision's clear
it's weird, thinking about what coulda been
Knowing I'd never get that look again
Reminiscing of your stare

I pushed, so maybe you was unaware
How much I truly cared, plus I was scared
Fearful of rejection, regret and falling into a regression
Knowing that's the wrong direction
The longest lesson, that I've learned

From the pain
That I caused, and sustained
Won awards, hittin' tours
But every time it rains
The only thing that remains
Trapped inside your head
A simple phrase
And it should be said
I'm Sorry

(Chorus 2: Elle Gyandoh)
Remember, with a broken heart,
The wisdom that your soul imparts
Will lead you on a journey far from here.

Move forward, and you'll see this through,
Have courage as your dreams come true
The path you forge restores a spirit clear
