“Now & Then”
Verse 1
I’d be lying if I, said that I hate you
The brain in my head can’t shake you
Had to break the link I was changed to
You’d be lying if you, said that I regret
Anything from the second that we met
I know every minute wasn’t the best
If I’m going to be truthful
Everything that I lost in you was useful
Cuz It made me grow up
And be a little less youthful
And I'm trying to move on
Everything I did, that you proved wrong
I admitted, so I thought we would forget it
But I'm guessing your forgiveness is just something that don’t come
CHORUS
I'd be lying if I said
I didn't think about you
Every now and then, every now and then
I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't fighting with myself inside my head
Every now & then
Verse 2
Now looking back on
Everything we been thru, feels like I walk thru a land mine
Flashbacks of explosions
made me close both my eyes
Blocking every blow that you thru downward
During an up hill battle is a long climb
But I accept the bruises
Got used to the incline
You drew the lines to keep me boxed in
With your X’s & O’s
I’m your third ex in a row
Now I know That’s Tic Tac Toe
And I’m not going to say your name
not going to get roped into a game
Im just going to record what I wrote
Make you swallow it and choke
And hope I never see your face again
V3
Now that I know you ,it’s like I don’t know you
Sounds like a lie, but it’s so true
Should’ve closed you, like a folder
kept ya in the left pocket
to look back when I’m older
When I’m going through boxes
of memories, that are rotten
And faded photos of names I forgotten
Left in a spot in the basement
That leaves a bad taste in my mouth
when I come around it
Deep down now I know I don’t care
And it’s so strange
I’ll leave all these memories locked in my brain
like block chain
Invisible propane
Didn’t see the flames
I was coming from the pain
Like a bloodstain
Wear a mask like a band aide
You can cover up your scars
But the memories won’t fade
They’re engraved like a death date
In a tombstone on a grave site
Left in my right brain
