Phora - Reflections lyrics

[Verse 1: Phora] Well, I know what its like to feel alone I know what its like to have the closest person to you gone I see myself in you I see myself in the man on the corner, told his story All these things I never knew, but is it true That everybody needs somebody else? Don't you ever feel disgusted when you look at yourself? Like somethings wrong with ya sh**, and you just wanna change it No matter whether you pretty, rich, broke or famous We all got something to hide We all got something inside of us that's gon be with us till we die So get right with yourself or live stuck in a lie I'm running from time, I'm running from time, sh** I don't wanna be rich, I just want enough to provide For my family and every person that's stuck to my side I'm wondering why, sh** I've had enough of the lies None of it feels real anymore, its just a mirage Just a mirage, what's love if it doesn't last an eternity And what's peace if they contemplating on burning me And what's the purpose of living life in a struggle Making mistakes, tryna make em right if my child doesn't learn from me n***a [Hook: Phora] I know what it feels like Yeah I know what it feels like to be all alone, all alone She said they don't know what it feels like They don't know what it feels like That's where you're wrong, that's where you're wrong Cause I know [Verse 2: Phora] I met this girl, she thought the world was against her She was going through a lot and her mama just left her She told me, I ain't got nothing left I got no choice but leaving this world As you can see I had a seat with this girl She told me, her man don't love her, her pops was never there She'd been used her whole life, no one to wipe her tears No guardian angel, she just washing her pain away with the bottle Hoping that she doesn't make it tomorrow She had an abortion It left her mentally scared for the rest of her life At the same time she felt it was right Said she can't provide for a kid, she just some girl She ain't wanna bring a child into this f**ed up world She tried to keep it on the low down Only one she told was her best friend That turned on her, the whole school knows now Started getting angry saying what do I do Where do I go, you don't feel my pain so how could you know sh** I didn't know what to say, I was at a loss for words Took a deep breath and I started to talk to her Said words don't make you who you are, nah your actions do Yeah I see em point their fingers, see em laugh at you I see em glad that you walk around with your head down Nobody next to you Just remember there's nothing you have to prove Nothing you have to do to make them see you different kid Cause they don't see the truth behind them eyes that you was gifted with Trust me, even when you feel alone, you really not I promise you But sometimes all you really got is you Well sh**, that's really all you need See I see myself in you, I hope you find yourself through me One love
