People they don't see what's goin' down
When this grind of mine has me flat on the ground
I was talking to a friend the day before
Wondering if I should share, maybe settle the score
But my pride won't allow me to soar
And it's that same pride that will limit me even more
I wanna share, I need to open up
This life ain't been easy, damn it's been rough
Been homeless for too many months
But am I givin' up? Should I give up? No
Oh baby can't you tell?
It's written all over my face
My days and nights have been a livin' hell
It's written all over my face
My darkest secrets I don't hide too well
It's written all over my face
Somebody please please save me
I'm drowning won't you please
Someone deliver me
Misunderstood & it's so frustrating
When those closest to my heart they get to debating
Telling me how good I've got it and I'm doing so well
They can't see the struggle and ironically I can't tell
That it's not all it's cracked up to be
And it feels like the world against me
Living out of suitcases, going door to door
Sleepin' on a couch, a chair, maybe even a floor
Peace is elusive all the more
But do I give up? Should I give up? No
Oh baby can't you tell?
It's written all over my face
My days and nights have been a livin' hell
It's written all over my face
My darkest secrets I don't hide too well
It's written all over my face
Somebody save me yeah
Somebody won't you please
Come on deliver me
Will I see the sun?
When will I cross the finish line to tell me I've won?
The prize that I've been working for all along
Since day one
I need you all to feel my hurt and my pain
So you understand the call I'm tryna claim
And no, I'm not embarrassed or ashamed
This is my story, please remember my name
Oh baby can't you tell?
It's written all over my face
My days and nights have been a livin' hell
It's written all over my face
Oh my darkest secrets I don't hide too well
It's written all over my face
Somebody save me
Somebody come and deliver me
