Gradient - Thank You lyrics

[Verse 1] Man, I've exhausted my confidence all in this authorship Hip-hop is just often provocative But if I can just pause with the pompousness I'll admit that I'm flawed with some awkwardness Can't stop it I'm not Biggie or Pac But more of big flop when I'm talkin', and often it's When I'm with a girl that I'm attracted to My words and my thoughts get caught in the esophagus Since middle school, constantly ridiculed Confidence miniscule, I'd commonly been a fool And honestly I've always been fallin' For these girls, man I often go all in Saw when you approached me in the hallway It all changed, and the way you smiled didn't hit me in a small way All day I would think about you Thought would ruin me to ever be without you, how true [Chorus: Isabelle Rivers-McCue] We tried to keep it going But it was all beyond control It all fell apart so fast But I would not change the past I wanna thank you [Verse 2] When we dated I was so infatuated with those eyes I left my old self at the roadside I was so blind, never did I wanna say goodbye So I became a man I didn't even recognize Hypnotized, I was thinkin' I could sacrifice everything Satisfy your every need, happy we'd forever be But it was unsettling as hell When we admitted we had reached codependency You said it seems wrong for us to constantly be settling Belittling our own goals, forgetting our other friends Eventually you had to go and sever things It was incredibly hard for you But you wanted better things for me It was a selfless act I didn't think so at the time because I felt attacked But looking back I appreciate you helping me And I really wish I had the chance just to tell you that But maybe some day [Chorus] [Post-Chorus] I wanna thank you; from you I learned to stay true I know the things you taught me I keep them with me every day Though I had to let you go I just wanted you to know I wanna thank you [Verse 3] So I'm just sayin' through the failures and tribulations You'll prevail with a bit of patience As a child I was frustrated I was a weird kid who never had a real relationship So I was filled with some anxiousness And when I found someone great to relate with I gave up faith in who I was So if ever you find someone stay true, it helps And don't fall so hard that you lose yourself That's all I'm sayin'
