Lie از NF

I heard you told your friends that I’m just not your type
If that’s how you really feel, then why’d you call last night?
You say all I ever do is just control your life
But how you gonna lie like that, how you gonna lie like that?

Yeah, I heard you said I ain’t the type for you
I don’t regret it though, I learned from it
They should have you locked up for all the time you stole from us
Took you out when I had no money
Only person that you ever cared about was you, that’s why it’s so funny
You want somebody that’ll keep you warm at night, then tell me, why you actin’ cold to me?
You ain’t the only one to blame, no
I’m the one that made you rich when I bought every lie you sold to me
Yeah, heard you threw away the pictures
But you still got the memories of us, so I guess that don’t really make a difference
Flippin’ through ’em in your head
Got you texting me all hours any night
Yeah, you told me that you needed distance
What’s the deal with you?
You say you want a man that keeps it real
Then why you mad when I get real with you?
You want someone to pay the bills for you
Went from feelin’ you, now I feel for you, liar

I heard you told your friends that I’m just not your type
If that’s how you really feel, then why’d you call last night?
You say all I ever do is just control your life
But how you gonna lie like that, how you gonna lie like that?

Look, let me guess, you want to stay friends?
Tellin’ people that’s how we been?
Tellin’ everybody, yeah that we was barely speakin’
All this kinda funny, why’d you call me every day then?
It’s immaturity, you goin’ off the deep end
You just want somebody you can chill and get some drinks with, cool
Then don’t hit me on the weekend, tellin’ me
You missed the way we talked and how I listen, yeah
Why you playin’ with my mind, huh?
Why you playin’ with my time, huh?
Told me we should let it go and put it all behind us
That’s what I did, now you askin’ me what I done, I was
Waitin’ for this day, I saw it comin’
I think you just like attention, tryna tell me all your problems
I got issues of my own, I ain’t got time for all this drama
You told me that you don’t really wanna talk, then why you callin’, huh?

I heard you told your friends that I’m just not your type
If that’s how you really feel, then why’d you call last night?
You say all I ever do is just control your life
But how you gonna lie like that, how you gonna lie like that?

How you gonna lie, how you gonna lie like that?
Baby how you gonna lie, how you gonna lie like that?
How you gonna lie, baby, how you gonna lie like that?
No, no, how you gonna lie like that?

I heard you told your friends that I’m just not your type
If that’s how you really feel, then why’d you call last night?
You say all I ever do is just control your life
But how you gonna lie like that, how you gonna lie like that?

Tell me how you ’bout to lie like that
Tell me how you ’bout to lie like that

Let you down

Feels like we’re on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I’m proud
I’m sorry that I let you down
I let you down

All these voices in my head get loud
I wish that I could shut them out
I’m sorry that I let you down
Let you down

Yeah, I guess I’m a disappointment
Doing everything I can
I don’t wanna make you disappointed
It’s annoying
I just wanna make you feel like everything I ever did
Was never tryna make an issue for you
But I guess the more you thought about everything
You were never even wrong in the first place, right?

Yeah, I’ma just ignore you, walking towards you
With my head down, lookin’ at the ground, I’m embarrassed for you
Paranoia, what did I do wrong this time? That’s parents for you
Very loyal? Shoulda had my back but you put a knife in it
My hands are full, what else should I carry for you?
I cared for you, but

Feels like we’re on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I’m proud
I’m sorry that I let you down
Let you down

All these voices in my head get loud
I wish that I could shut them out
I’m sorry that I let you down
Let you down

Yeah, you don’t wanna make this work
You just wanna make this worse
Want me to listen to you
But you don’t ever hear my words
You don’t wanna know my hurt, yet
Let me guess
You want an apology, probably
How can we keep going at a rate like this?
We can’t, so I guess I’ma have to leave

Please don’t come after me
I just wanna be alone right now, I don’t really wanna think at all
Go ahead, just drink it off
Both know you’re gonna call tomorrow like nothing’s wrong
Ain’t that what you always do?
I feel like every time I talk to you
You’re in an awful mood
What else can I offer you?
There’s nothing left right now, I gave it all to you

Feels like we’re on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I’m proud
I’m sorry that I let you down
Let you down

All these voices in my head get loud
I wish that I could shut them out
I’m sorry that I let you down
Let you down

Yeah, don’t talk down to me
That’s not gonna work now
Packed all my clothes and I moved out
I don’t even wanna go to your house
Everytime I sit on that couch I feel like you lecture me
Eventually, I bet that we could have made this work
And probably woulda figured things out

But I guess I’m a letdown
But it’s cool, I checked out
Oh, you wanna be friends now?
Okay, let’s put my fake face on and pretend now
Sit around and talk about the good times
That didn’t even happen
I mean, why are you laughing?
Must have missed that joke let me see if I can find a reaction
No, but at least you’re happy

Feels like we’re on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I’m proud
I’m sorry that I let you down
Oh, I let you down

All these voices in my head get loud
And I wish that I could shut them out
I’m sorry that I let you down
Oh, let you down

Yeah, I’m sorry
I’m so sorry now
Yeah, I’m sorry
That I let you down

Just like you از NF

Just in case my car goes off the highway
Or the plane that I get on decides that it’s my last day
I want you to know when you’re alone and you feel afraid
You’re not the only person in the world that isn’t okay

There’s millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you
There’s millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you

It’s strange the way the mind can wander, but also stop to gossip
And chat with memories that you and me aren’t really fond of
Maybe you’re out to find love, maybe you lost who you was
Maybe you’re just like me and feel the need to stay in your rut
‘Cause if you left it, you might feel like you’re no longer you
It’s so impressive, the way the mind can play with the truth
It’s interestin’ that nobody can walk in your shoes
But still relate and feel the same so in a way, guess we do

You ever think about what it would be like
If the clouds were gone and you could see light?
If the door was open would you take flight
Or just close the curtains up and stay inside?
Take a walk with me, take a risk with me
I’m scared too and it gets so tempting
When you’re so empty, to disown everything you hold
Dearly, when you know
Clearly, you’ve been so buried, in your own
Fairy tale, the soul’s tearing bunch of holes in me
I relate to it, but in case you been thinking no one does
Here’s a great theory
Throw a hail Mary, let your mind fly
To the sunrise, could be so scary
Make your faith vary, feel the pain glaring
But the weight carried ain’t in vain hear me (hear me)

Just in case my car goes off the highway
Or the plane that I get on decides that it’s my last day
I want you to know when you’re alone and you feel afraid
You’re not the only person in the world that isn’t okay

There’s millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you
There’s millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you

So often I feel desperate, I think my heart’s infected
How about yours? How about yours? How about yours? I guess if
You feel the best when your life is hectic
You might be destined to stay defective
So join the club, it ain’t that hard to get in
It’s hard to leave though, look at the guest list
I bet that, your name is on it, don’t believe me? Check it
See dead ends in life we come to tend to raise some questions
Suggestion, know that your feelings might give wrong directions
Infested, yeah, with the feeling of failure
Let it take over your body it makes you
Question the life that you have situations
You might have enjoyed, become nothing but dated
Old and forgotten but what would you say
If I told you that there was some hope we could make it?
I know what you’re thinkin’, I’m thinkin’ it too
Could you really improve and be something worth savin’?
See, I could pretend like I have all the answers
But none of us do, it’s the reason we battle
Convincing yourself that you don’t really matter’s
Like feeding a cancer and letting it travel
To every part of you but what if we did
The unthinkable and cancel our trips?
What’s achievable depends on the risk
So pick up your chin and listen to this

Just in case my car goes off the highway
Or the plane that I get on decides that it’s my last day
I want you to know when you’re alone and you feel afraid
You’re not the only person in the world that isn’t okay

There’s millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you
There’s millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you (you, you, you)

Yeah
Everybody falls sometimes
Just remember that that’s alright
It’s the rainy days that give us love for the sun
And if it isn’t, I guess I’ll be fine believing it does, oh yeah
Everybody falls sometimes
Just remember that that’s alright
It’s the lows in life that make you cherish the highs
And if isn’t, I guess I’ll be fine believing a lie, ayy

Just in case my car goes off the highway
Or the plane that I get on decides that it’s my last day
I want you to know when you’re alone and you feel afraid
You’re not the only person in the world that isn’t okay

There’s millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you
There’s millions of us just like you, like you, like you
Just like you, like you

If you want love از NF

I just need some time, I’m tryna think straight
I just need a moment in my own space
Ask me how I’m doin’, I’ll say “okay, ” yeah
But ain’t that what we all say?
Sometimes I think back to the old days
In the pointless conversations with the old me
Yeah, back when my momma used to hold me
I wish somebody woulda told me

If you want love, you gon’ have to go through the pain
If you want love, you gon’ have to learn how to change
If you want trust, you gon’ have to give some away
If you want love, if you want love

Yeah, as a kid I used to think life
Is moving so slow, I watch it go by
Look out the window on my bus ride
I thought the world was so small, through my closed eyes
I’ve always tried to control things
In the end that’s what controls me
Maybe that’s why I’m controllin’
I wish somebody woulda told me

If you want love, you gon’ have to go through the pain
If you want love, you gon’ have to learn how to change
If you want trust, you gon’ have to give some away
If you want love, if you want love

The older I get, I feel like I’m always tryna save time
Talkin’ to the voices in my head, they make me think twice
Tellin’ me it doesn’t mean it’s wrong because it feels right
I’m scared that one day I wake up and wonder where the time go
Talk about the past like it’s the present while I rock slow
I’ll sit in the living room and laugh with kids of my own
And tell ’em

If you want love, you gon’ have to go through the pain
I wish you woulda told me
If you want love, you gon’ have to learn how to change
I wish somebody woulda told me
If you want trust, you gon’ have to give some away
You gon’ have to give
If you want love, if you want love
If you want love, if you want love

Hope از NF

Hope
Yeah, I’m on my way, I’m coming
Don’t, don’t lose faith in me
I know you’ve been waitin’
I know you’ve been prayin’ for my soul
Hope, hope

Thirty years you been draggin’ your feet
Tellin’ me I’m the reason we’re stagnant
Thirty years you’ve been claiming you’re honest
And promising progress, well, where’s it at?
I don’t want you to feel like a failure (failure)
I know this hurts
But I gave you your chance to deliver (deliver)
Now it’s my turn
Don’t get me wrong, Nate, you’ve had a great run
But it’s time to give the people somethin’ different
So without further ado, I’d
Like to introduce my
(My album, my album, my album, my album, my album, my album, my album)
Hope
What’s my definition of success? (Of success)
Listening to what your heart says (your heart says)
Standing up for what you know is (is)
Right, while everybody else is (is)
Tucking their tail between their legs (okay)
What’s my definition of success? (Of success)
Creating something no one else can (else can)
Being brave enough to dream big (big)
Grindin’ when you’re told to just quit (quit)
Giving more when you got nothin’ left (left)
It’s a person that’ll take a chance on
Something they were told could never happen
It’s a person that can see the bright side through the dark times when there ain’t one
It’s when someone who ain’t never had nothin’
Ain’t afraid to walk away from more profit
‘Cause they’d rather do somethin’ that they really love and take the pay cut
It’s a person that would never waver
Or change who they are
Just to try and gain some credibility
So they could feel accepted by a stranger
It’s a person that can take the failures in their life and turn them into motivation
It’s believing in yourself when no one else does, it’s amazing

What a little bit of faith can do if you don’t even believe in you
Why would you think or expect anybody else that’s around you to?
I done did things that I regret
I done said things I can’t take back
Was a lost soul at a crossroad who had no hope but I changed that
I spent years of my life holdin’ on to things I never should’ve kept, full of hatred
Years of my life carryin’ a lot of baggage that I should’ve walked away from
Years of my life wishin’ I was someone different, lookin’ for some validation
Years of my life tryna fill the void, pretending I was in
They get it

Growing pain’s a necessary evil
Difficult to go through, yes, but beneficial
Some would say having a mental breakdown is a negative thing
Which on one hand, I agree with
On the other hand, it was the push I needed
To get help and start the healing process, see
If I’d have never hit rock bottom
Would I be the person that I am today?
I don’t believe so
I’m a prime example of what happens when you choose to not accept defeat and face your demons
Took me thirty years to realize that if you want to get the opportunity
To be the greatest version of yourself
Sometimes you got to be someone you’re not to hear the voice of reason
Having kids will make you really take a step back and look in the mirror
At least for me that’s what it did, I

Wake up every day and pick my son up, hold him in my arms
And let him know he’s loved (loved)
Standing by the window questioning if dad is ever going to show up (up)
Isn’t something he’s gon’ have to worry about
Don’t get it twisted, that wasn’t a shot
Mama, I forgive you
I just don’t want him to grow up thinkin’ that he’ll never be enough
Thirty years of running, thirty years of searching
Thirty years of hurting, thirty years of pain
Thirty years of fearful, thirty years of anger
Thirty years of empty, thirty years of shame
Thirty years of broken, thirty years of anguish
Thirty years of hopeless, thirty years of (hey)
Thirty years of never, thirty years of maybe
Thirty years of later, thirty years of fake
Thirty years of hollow, thirty years of sorrow
Thirty years of darkness, thirty years of (Nate)
Thirty years of baggage, thirty years of sadness
Thirty years of stagnant, thirty years of chains
Thirty years of anxious, thirty years of suffering
Thirty years of torment, thirty years of (wait)
Thirty years of bitter, thirty years of lonely
Thirty years of pushing everyone away
(You’ll never evolve) I know I can change
(We are not enough) we are not the same
(You don’t have the heart) you don’t have the strength
(You don’t have the will) you don’t have the faith
(You’ll never be loved) you’ll never be safe
(Might as well give up) not running away
(You don’t have the guts) you’re the one afraid
I’m the one in charge
I’m taking the (no)
I’m taking the
Reigns

Clouds از NF

Calmly, feel myself evolving
Appalling, so much I’m not divulging
Been stalling, I think I hear applauding, they’re calling
Mixtapes aren’t my thing, but it’s been awfully exhausting
Hanging onto songs this long is daunting (yeah)
Which caused me to have to make a call I thought was ballsy
Resulting in what you see today, proceed indulging
As always, the one trick pony’s here, so quit your sulking

Born efficient, got ambition, sorta vicious, yup, that’s me (woo)
Not artistic, unrealistic, chauvinistic, not those things
Go the distance, so prolific, posts are cryptic, move swiftly
Unsubmissive, the king of mischief
The golden ticket, rare sight to see

I stay committed, embrace the rigid
I’m playful with it, yeah, basically
Too great to mimic, you hate, you’re bitter
No favoritism, that’s fine with me
Create the riddles, portrayed uncivil
Unsafe a little, oh yes, indeed
It’s plain and simple, I’m far from brittle
Unbreakable, you following?

I’m Bruce Willis in a train wreck
I’m like trading in your car for a new jet
I’m like having a boss getting upset
‘Cause you asked him for less on your paycheck
I’m like doing headstands with a broke neck
I’m like watching your kid take his first steps
I’m like sayin’ Bill Gates couldn’t pay rent
‘Cause he’s too broke- where am I goin’ with this?

Unbelievable, yes, yes, inconceivable
See myself as fairly reasonable
But at times I can be stubborn, so
If I have to, I will rock the boat
I don’t tend to take the easy road
That’s just not the way I like to roll
What you think’s probably unfeasible
I’ve done already a hundredfold, a hundredfold

It’s probable that I might press the envelope
Ideas so astronomical
Sometimes I find them comical
Yeah, incomparable
Replay value phenomenal
Beat selection remarkable
Slowing me down, impossible

I don’t rock no Rollie’s
I don’t hang around no phonies (nope)
I don’t really got no trophies
I don’t know why God chose me (I don’t know)
Got something in the cup, ain’t codeine (never)
Change my style, they told me
Now they come around like, “Homie”
Man, y’all better back up slowly, back up slowly

Woo, who are you kidding?
How could you doubt me? I’ve always delivered
Ripping the teeth out of the back of my mouth’s
The closest you get to my wisdom
See my initial thought was to wait
But what can I say? I had to come visit
Check on you guys, you doin’ alright?
Your year really sucked? Yeah, that’s what I figured

They cover they heads up whenever I drop
Shake the whole industry, put ’em in shock
Come out the clouds like a meteor rock
Then land on the Earth like, “Ready or not?”
Ain’t no one like me, the cream of the crop
Don’t even front, better give me some props
I pick up your body and throw it a block
Okay, I admit it, that’s over the top, not

Deer in the headlights looks every time I step my foot on the ground
I get mistook for a lame with no weight to his name
Ground just shook, let’s not beat around the bush
Even my B-sides throw ’em off like, “How’s he do it?”
Some say I’m a great influence
I don’t know about that, but I did do the best I could

“Hollywood, Hollywood
Hope Nate doesn’t go Hollywood”
You think that you don’t know me good
You think that you don’t know me good
“Hollywood, Hollywood
Hope Nate doesn’t go Hollywood”
You think that you don’t know me good
You think that you don’t know me

I-I-I always advance, say how I feel, you know where I stand
Raisin’ the bar, I gotta expand
Top of the charts, I’m setting up camp
Pound in my stakes, I put up my tent
Shoot for the stars, they fall in my hand
Stick to my guns, I don’t even flinch
Can push all you want, ain’t movin’ an inch

I rarely miss, you know I’m relentless
Ain’t got a choice, no way to prevent it
Just who I am, and I don’t regret it
See what I want and then I go get it
Followed my gut, I’m happy I did it
Beat all the odds, I ain’t got no limits
Cannot be stopped, you payin’ attention?
I ain’t gotta say it, they know where my head is
They know where my head is

How could you live us از NF

?How could you leave us so unexpected
We waited, we waited
For you but you just left us
We needed you, I needed you

Yo, I don’t know what it’s like to be addicted to pills
But I do know what it’s like to be a witness, it kills
Mama told me she love me, I’m thinking this isn’t real
I think of you when I get a whiff of that cigarette smell, yeah

Welcome to the bottom of hell
They say pain is a prison, let me out of my cell
You say you proud of me, but you don’t know me that well
Sit in my room, tears running down my face and I yell
Into my pillowcases, say you coming to get us
Then call a minute later just to tell us you not, I’m humiliated
I’m in a room with a parent that I barely know
Some lady in the corner watching us, while she taking notes

I don’t get it mom, don’t you want to watch your babies grow?
I guess pills are more important, all you have to say is “no”
But you won’t do it, will you? You gon’ keep popping ’til those pills kill you
I know you gone but I can still feel you

Why would you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
How could you leave us here?
How could you leave us?
Why would you leave us? Oh
Hey

I got this picture in my room and it kills me
But I don’t need a picture of my mom, I need the real thing
Now a relationship is something we won’t ever have
Why do I feel like I lost something that I never had?
You shoulda been there when I graduated
Told me you love me and congratulations
Instead you left us at the window waiting
Where you at mom? We’re too young to understand, where you at huh?

Yeah, I know them drugs got you held captive
I can see it in your eyes, they got your mind captured
Some say it’s fun to get the high but I am not laughing
And what you don’t realise and what you not grasping
That I was nothing but a kid who couldn’t understand
I ain’t gon’ say that I forgive you ’cause it hasn’t happened
I thought that maybe I feel better as time passes
If you really cared for me, then where you at then?

Why would you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
How could you leave us here?
How would you leave us?
Why would you leave us? Oh
Hey

Our last conversation, you and I sat in the living room
Talking ’bout my music and I brought you something to listen to
You started crying, telling me this isn’t you
A couple weeks later, guess you were singing a different tune
You took them pills for the last time, didn’t you?
They took you from us once, guess they came back to finish you
Crying my eyes out in the studio is difficult
Music is the only place that I can go to speak to you

It took me everything inside of me to not scream at your funeral
Sitting in my chair, that person talking was pitiful
I wish you were here mama but every time I picture you
All I feel is pain, I hate the way I remember you

They found you on the floor, I could tell that you felt hollow
Gave everything you had plus your life to them pill bottles
You gave everything you had plus your life to them pill bottles
Don’t know if you hear me or not, but if you still watching, why?

Why would you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
How could you leave us here?
How would you leave us?
Why would you leave us? Oh
Hey

Sometimes I think about like
Sometimes I think about things like, you know
When I have kids, I’m like

You won’t be there, you know?
You won’t be there for any of that
And I’ll never get to see you again
Sometimes I wish I would’ve just called you
I wish I would’ve just picked up the phone, wish you were here
I mean you should’ve been there for us, you should have been here
Them pills got you, right?
Them pills got you, right?
I wish you were here

car radio از twenty one pilots

I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it’s dire
My time today

I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
‘Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence

Sometimes quiet is violent
I find it hard to hide it
My pride is no longer inside
It’s on my sleeve
My skin will scream
Reminding me of
Who I killed inside my dream
I hate this car that I’m driving
There’s no hiding for me
I’m forced to deal with what I feel
There is no distraction to mask what is real
I could pull the steering wheel

I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
‘Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence

I ponder of something terrifying
‘Cause this time there’s no sound to hide behind
I find over the course of our human existence
One thing consists of consistence
And it’s that we’re all battling fear
Oh dear, I don’t know if we know why we’re here
Oh my, 
Too deep
Please stop thinking
I liked it better when my car had sound

There are things we can do
But from the things that work there are only two
And from the two that we choose to do
Peace will win
And fear will lose
There’s faith and there’s sleep
We need to pick one please because
Faith is to be awake
And to be awake is for us to think
And for us to think is to be alive
And I will try with every rhyme
To come across like I am dying
To let you know you need to try to think

I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
‘Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence

I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it’s dire
My time today

I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
‘Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence
