Mirror Lyrics
[00:00.11] (I choose me)
[00:02.42]
[00:27.24] The pressure's taking over me, it's beginning to loom
[00:32.72] Better if I spare your feelings and tell you the truth
[00:37.77] Lately, I redirected my point of view
[00:43.11] You won't grow waitin' on me
[00:48.25] I can't live in the matrix, huh
[00:50.98] Rather fall short of your graces, huh
[00:53.33] This time I won't trade places, huh
[00:56.09] Not about who's right, who's wrong, huh
[00:58.75] Evolve, the only thing known, huh
[01:01.36] Ask me when I'm coming home, huh
[01:03.91] Blink twice again, I'm gone
[01:09.68] I choose me, I'm sorry
[01:12.47] I choose me, I'm sorry
[01:15.10] I choose me, I'm sorry
[01:20.41] I choose me, I'm sorry
[01:22.90] I choose me, I'm sorry
[01:25.52] I choose me, I'm sorry
[01:29.89] She woke up in the morning for the daily news
[01:35.16] I was so low and mourning through the family feuds
[01:40.22] Baby, I told you a story and laid down all the rules
[01:45.23] Still, you won't grow waiting on me
[01:51.55] I choose me, I'm sorry
[01:54.10] I choose me, I'm sorry
[01:56.81] I choose me, I'm sorry
[02:02.04] I choose me, I'm sorry
[02:04.70] I choose me, I'm sorry
[02:07.24] I choose me, I'm sorry
[02:09.97]
[02:20.33] 'Cause all of it's toxic
[02:21.57] Girl, I'm not relevant to givin' on profit
[02:24.31] Personal gain off my pain, it's nonsense
[02:26.83] Darlin', my demons is off the leash for a moshpit
[02:29.52] Baby, I just had a baby, you know she need me
[02:32.14] Workin' on myself, the counselin' is not easy
[02:34.81] Don't you point a finger, just to point a finger
[02:36.84] 'Cause critical thinkin' is a deal-breaker
[02:38.68] Faith in one man is a ship sinking
[02:40.41] Do yourself a favor and get a mirror that mirror grievance
[02:43.18] Then point it at me so the reflection can mirror freedom
[02:45.68] She told me she need me the most, I didn't believe her
[02:48.25] She even called me names on the post, the world can see it
[02:50.84] Jokes and gaslightin', mad at me 'cause she didn't get my vote, she say I'm trifflin'
[02:54.79] Disregardin' the way that I cope with my own vices
[02:57.44] Maybe, it's time to break it off
[02:59.21] Runaway from the culture to follow my heart
[03:02.79] I realized, true love's not savin' face
[03:07.55] But unconditional, when will you let me go?
[03:12.52] I trust you'll find independence
[03:15.22] If not, then all is forgiven
[03:17.64] Sorry I didn't save the world, my friend
[03:20.38] I was too busy buildin' mine again
[03:25.44] I choose me, I'm sorry
[03:28.18] I choose me, I'm sorry
[03:30.74] I choose me, I'm sorry
[03:35.94] I choose me, I'm sorry
[03:38.59] I choose me, I'm sorry
[03:41.29] I choose me, I'm sorry
[03:43.91]
[03:54.45] I choose me, I'm sorry
[03:56.84] I choose me, I'm sorry
