"I've always known that it might hurt one day
but for now it's still okay.
I'd like to smile but somethings in my way
The Sun is gone and the sky is gray"
"And yo I know of some things that you aint told me
yo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back
You gon' show me
So you walk round like you don't know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homeys
But in the end it's still so lonely"
"Goodbye for now, until the day we meet again
From here all that’s ahead of me is an empty, pure white vacuum"
