As one door opens, another one closes
The light that was once there, no longer shines
And the once told story still continues…
Except this time, they brought someone along
[Chorus - Anna]
You've been gone for so long, it's time to let go
You disappeared in the shadows
Just trying to save your soul
You left me all alone and now you're too far gone, so gone
[Verse 1 - Testify Music]
Its Testify back up on the track again
Bout to k** another verse, yes I'm back again
Last time I called myself the self-proclaimed king
But lately I've been going through some things
I'm tired of people trying to play my heart like a violin
Pulling my strings
Leading me on saying you got my back
But in fact jack you don't got squat. Bump that
You're about as dependable as a doped up dealer on crack, Haha
I know the lord said I should turn the other cheek
But I'm tired of acting timid, meek, and frontin' like I'm weak
I'm losing so much sleep, that I can't even describe
How to escape the dark that plagues my heart!
What do you expect me to do?
I am nothing without you, shoot...
I'm too far gone
I can't admit that I've been wrong
Writing song after song and not being upfront!
So even if it takes a while to find the clue
I'm sticking close to you like a playa to his boo
[Chorus]
[Verse 2 - Testify Music]
Now that I think about it, I'm still trapped in the dark
I tried to forget about it
It's hard to erase the memories away
When you've been living with it day to day
It becomes second nature to ya
But don't let the TV fool ya
This world will eventually start to take and take
Until your will breaks from the aches of your already broken state!
I tried to walk this road alone
But all it brought, was pain like I've never known
Most people say, there's no hope when you've been exposed to the pain of being forgotten
It's kinda hard to cope with
I did my best to keep my distance away from you and the public eye, so no-one could see me cry
Tried to be independent
Lived life on the go, never stopped to say hello
Lotta good that did
I still had to face the same demons, when I was a kid
The only difference is, this time I got somebody here for me
But I... I'm still too far gone!
[Chorus]
[Verse 3 – Roscoe Moorhead]
Looking in the mirror, I disappear it isn't clear
I fear I may become the demon that's been haunting me so many years
I need a hero it ain't hard to see, the only thing I'm battling becoming a part of me
People pardon me, it's hard to be, the only one who believes in you
When the ones you love are leaving you
The devil is defeating you, I kinda grew, bulletproof from the broken
They left me choking but hoping
And now I'm hoping they're joking, cause I got
Bibles open and the alcohol is drained
I ain't never going back into that so inviting flame
I ain't in it for the game
Nah this time it ain't the same
Better get back cause I'm unchained springing attack to save the game
Uh, I'm bout to k** it like I never did, this is it
God I need you with me cause the ground is coming quick
I need to do this God I feel like I belong
Maybe I can catch a dream before its too far gone
[Chorus - Anna]
You've been gone for so long, it's time to let go
You disappeared in the shadows
Just trying to save your soul
You left me all alone and now you're too far gone, so gone
[Outro]
Shout out to my homie AreJay
What's good man?
If we can make it out of the darkness
Then I know anybody can
All you gotta do is believe, and give your heart to the Lord
