Greenwich Village

You're off to Greenwich village and I hope the best for you
We've got a connection that some distance can't undo
I've got to remember who I am outside of you
I've got to remember who I am
Your mama hates me thinks that you should cut me off
I think your daddy likes me funny how he thinks I'm strong
Because I'm crumbling under all this weight ever since you've been gone
My figures looking slim no I'm not him not after all
You're so reassuring telling me that we are good
Nights spent on the phone feel like homes back in the woods
I cry when we hang up, intrusive thoughts they always rush in
I'm afraid of losing myself, if I'm not me than we're not us
Oh I'm bad
Oh it's back now
Oh my past now
Wants me to back up
How're you so good love
Told me feel more with my mind I wish I could love

You deserve the world
I can't even find myself to give you
The world
The world
Oh, oh

The silver lining just put me in second place
This a new nightmare I'm in my metaphase
Finally in love, but I'm too anxious to celebrate
Fuck it I've been this way, sicker than better days
Like you rappers with no releases, I'm planning a getaway
Can't think of a better way for me to self destruct
Then at the hands of somebody who only wants me to fuck
Girl you testing my luck
Girl you testing my lungs
Overextending man, that shit suffocating my love
I'm losing my God inside of somebody's cold heart and I'm afraid I will starve
Guiding myself through the dark, how did I start
Gripping facades until all my weight is gone and my promises fall into the arms of someone who's lost

I mean now lately we've been getting closer
I would never do you harm, you're feeling like I hold you
We've been going at it, but you know that I'm a soldier
Scared of closure, divorce, and getting older
Baby betray me, stab and bandaid me
Hate me
Create me
Date me to erase me
I'll lay me to rest
Take my heart out my chest
Spend my whole life depressed to take the world off your neck

How much of yourself would you kill for the love of your life
How much peace you sacrifice so that they're alright
How much will you cry so that they can bloom
Would you give up your life until you're consumed
Would you lose all of your friendships including yourself
Pick up all their calls and ask for no help
Would you throw away your dreams to kiss them goodnight
Can a soulmate be a soulmate from only one side

How long can I pretend like I been neglected
How long can I last when I got nothing left
How many falls can I take when I ain't been protected
How long can I pretend like I don't know what's next

My dear
Much of the love we possess and accept is fundamentally rooted in the environment we grow up in
How were you taught to love
