Me - Atmosphere

yeah the child in the mirror was homely

so he learned early on how to switch into low key

little person, observant and accurate

glue the skills to argue and the passion the back it with

kick over the blocks just to rebuild 'em

cause mom and pop used to pop me, sound familiar?

daddy had to leave, but momma kept hurtin

so he stepped up to help to be an anger and a burden

and right around the same time

started noticing girls, but they wouldn't pay him any mind

and if they ever did, he got nervous

you shoulda seen him practice on his hand for his first kiss

even though he was too young to hunt and gather

hungry puppy had to learn how to front and swagger

it didnt matter, it was all self esteem

at 16, you only needed one on your team

mom and dad was never gettin back together

so he was on some 'baby we gon' make it last forever'

basically married, right out of high school

five years of gettin high and fightin at a drive through

and when he hit 21, they made a son

but on his 22nd birthday the relationship was done

now hes got a best friend instead of a wife

but he feels like he stole the best years of her life

after that it was one co dependent to the next

a lot of love a lot of hate and a little bit of great sex

self learnin in between the self loathing

strangled in a cycle, cant feel yourself choking

some of them would overlapse

some of them would double back

none of them deserved to be exposed

to all the troubled that he posed

strike one, not even out of fear

he dont even do rough sex, you bite him and hes outa here

make no mistake, he puts the man in manipulate

and hes attracted to the women that reciprocate

y'all can kick karma till its gettin late

until mammas little drama is the topic of the big debate

and nowadays the confidence is off the page

cus women are attracted to that clown on the stage

he's only in town for a hand full of hours

but rupunzel wants to come down and dance in the flowers

wanna make her smile? want to make her laugh?

want to make up for the mistakes in the past?

want to act like he doesnt know better

if payback's a bitch, he'll be in debt forever

insecure, impatient

temporary radification, self validation

thats what its made of its all true

and its the only reason he's even talkin to you

you can try and fix my broken wings

you can know all the words to the songs i sing

but you dont need to know whats wrong with me

unless you think you're gonna come home with me

you can try and fix my broken wings

you can know all the words to the songs i sing

but you dont need to know whats wrong with me

unless you think you're gonna come home with me

(come here)

you can try and fix my broken wings

you can know all the words to the songs i sing

but you dont need to know whats wrong with me

unless you think you're gonna come home with me

you can try and fix my broken wings

you can know all the words to the songs i sing

but you dont need to know whats wrong with me

unless you think you're gonna come home with me
