Joseph Prielozny - Shallow lyrics

[Intro: Andy Mineo] There are so many things that I don't understand Like why am I so lost if I have a captain? I'm tossed back and forth by deceitful winds And if it all falls, look within I've been breaking hearts way too long I did this from the start, now I'm all alone So focus on the heart if you want a home I can't settle for that cardboard box no more [Verse 1: Andy Mineo] Early Christmas morning at the table with my momma Steam's coming off the coffee, we talking about the father These are the conversations I cherish and I hold on to She asked me, "Is there a girl in your life that you're fond of?" Well, not yet, feels like I'm looking for the Lochness I ain't even really got a prospect I don't think I found what I want yet But let me be blunt, no pothead I'm going through a process to stop seeing women as objects Cause the meaning of marriage is not s** It's so much more, this ain't no beauty contest When you play that game then somebody's always got next If charm is deceiving and beauty's vain, then I bet The standards that we judge most people with are nonsense I put too much emphasis on my preferences Dang, I'm feeling shallow just addressing this Cause God loves me in spite of how much a mess I am is And I'm writing off shorties whose bodies is less impressive like, dang [Hook: Andy Mineo] I'm caught up in this game again She's asking if we're more than friends Why is this happening? I don't know if she the one But I don't wanna lose her love I'm caught up in this game again She's asking if we're more than friends Why is this happening? I don't know if she the one But I don't wanna lose her love [Verse 2: Swoope] Cooling back in '01, high school mac was so fun Making chicks my baby, then on to the next one, Jay-Z '01 turned to '04, late night games at your dorm Let's take a walk, your girls hating We're just flirting, we ain't dating '04 turned to '06, and you're so sick Asking me, "Is that your chick?" And I'm like, "Yes, finna put her in a white dress" And you cry, I loved you, I ain't mean it, but I said it Now I'm married with a trail of broken hearts and I regret it, dang Should've treated you like you was God's daughter Cause you was, but I got caught up, now I got karma Comma, 2012 and now I got daughters And I'd k** the dude that ever do them like I did you Laundry list of names, that's too long to mention But I'm the one need cleansing, I did my dirt And then some pain was never intention I pray for your forgiveness Thank God He saved me from my sin but not the consequences, dang [Hook] [Bridge] There are so many things that I don't understand Like why am I so lost if I have a captain I'm tossed back and forth by deceitful winds And if it all falls, look within I've been breaking hearts way too long I did this from the start, now I'm all alone So focus on the heart if you want a home I can't settle for that cardboard box no more [Hook] [Outro] And all the boys said, and all the boys said, and all the boys again All I really know is I don't know what I want Caught up in this game again And all the boys said, and all the boys said All I really know is I don't know what I want
