I was playing stupid, young, and naive Just a kid who always followed the stream Blamin' everybody else for my pain Now I know that it sounds pretty strange But hear me out, I didn't feel pretty good Oh, I got so fed up, I misunderstood What was really important, what I had to get sorted How I was meant to grow up Mistakes that we learned from The choices that we made I know that I hurt some And I'm left to blame 'Cause I've played my games, I've sunk my ship And there are still some voices whispering My shadow's staying near, tryna get me down But I know better, I know better now I was locked up, shackled in chains Heavy breathin' bringing smoke to my brain Everybody tellin' me I'm insane Now I know that it sounds pretty strange Mistakes that we learned from The choices that we made I know that I hurt some And I'm left to blame 'Cause I've played my games, I've sunk my ship And there are still some voices whispering My shadow's staying near, tryna get me down But I know better, I know better now Mistakes that we learned from The choices that we made I know that I hurt some And I'm left to blame But I know better now 'Cause I've played my games, I've sunk my ship And there are still some voices whispering My shadow's staying near, tryna get me down But I know better, I know better now 'Cause I've played my games, I've sunk my ship And there are still some voices whispering My shadow's staying near, tryna get me down But I know better, I know better now
