Can't Have Everything

I wanted everything
But God keeps on showing me better things
And I know there's some things that I'll never see
But I've been through some things you won't ever be
I can't have everything
If I'm patient I'll move on to better things
There's no sense trying for what I'll never be
If there's one thing I need, It's a better me

I need to
Get out of my head, get out of my mind
I'm laying in bed, I've been up all night
I wish someone said that I'm crossing the line
I keep pulling ahead just to fall back behind
But I can't regret, don't need to rewind
Yeah I used to dread, me wasting my time
I wanted the best and I thought that was right
Felt like everyone left, not a soul by my side
I should be optimistic
But if I'm honest, there's a lot I'm missing
I'm always quick to give out my advice
I should take a second just to stop and listen
Forgot to mention
Feel like there's way too much opposition
I'm always tryna get back on my feet
But I can't if I keep making wrong decisions

If I dropped it all
Would you stay with me
Or if I lost it all
Would that make you leave
If I stop and fall
While I'm out chasing dreams
Would you stay with me
Would you stay with me

I'm starting to think I should step back
But part of me needs to accept that
It's hard to believe and respect that
If I can't start right back off where I left at
I still wish you wanted to stay
But I realize you wanted to change
You'll realize it one of these days
That you're really just running in place

I wanted everything
But God keeps on showing me better things
And I know there's some things that I'll never see
But I've been through some things you won't ever be
I can't have everything
If I'm patient I'll move on to better things
There's no sense trying for what I'll never be
If there's one thing I need, It's a better me

Constantly working, It's got me exhausted
Thought I had everything, that's when I lost it
Making this music to make me a profit but
Up until now, didn't know what it costed
Gotta impress them, I know that they're watching
Finish a song then I just want to toss it
Made all this progress there's no sense in stopping
But sometimes it feels like that's my only option
Cause I got these big dreams
It's ironic I don't see the bigger picture
Now I want to fix things
Cause I realize I'm happier when I'm with ya
I always thought I never had enough
Saw what I wanted, couldn't pass it up
I should have noticed what I really had
I guess I didn't realize fast enough

If I dropped it all
Would you stay with me
Or if I lost it all
Would that make you leave
If I stop and fall
While I'm out chasing dreams
Would you stay with me
Would you stay with me

Losing you might be my biggest mistake
I noticed that you started slipping away
Not much I wouldn't be giving away
To have you again, that's a risk I would take
But mistakes are the best lesson
I hate that I'm left guessing
I pray for the next blessing
I need to stop taking what I got for granted
And focus on what I'm blessed with

I wanted everything
But God keeps on showing me better things
And I know there's some things that I'll never see
But I've been through some things you won't ever be
I can't have everything
If I'm patient I'll move on to better things
There's no sense trying for what I'll never be
If there's one thing I need, It's a better me
