Nakir Tasi - Broken Ties Lyrics

It was mid-august and nothing was going wrong
Then it all changed cause I ain't make a penny off my songs
And I ain't doing shows and no one chose to put me on
Which showed me it ain't love but a basic bitch all along
Then we broke up, and decided to part ways
Which led to me losing myself in those dark days
Full of nothing but cigarette smoke and the heart pain
To get over you the hard way
Disregarding what my heart say
Cause being open
Is harder than being broken
Searching for myself in people that leave me hopeless
Without a way to cope with
All these bottled emotions
Except cutting off those that are starting to get close with me

Cause I love you and need you and want you by my side
And without you in my life I ain't too sure I'd be alive
We were s'pose to last forever but all of that was a lie
Told to make me feel loved and keep your motives in disguise

It's been two months with Parris and shit is different
Cause I ain't broken no more due to learning how to listen
And keeping all my promises with nothing in my system
No cigarette smoke and not one single drop of liquor
Because being loyal and honest are my motives
And without you in my life I ain't sure that all my emotions
Would be under control
Way beyond placing hope
In people that leave me inside my room while writing notes
Saying goodbye all of those
That chose to leave me alone
On my darkest days and all of my brightest nights
Once writing songs begins to open up my sights
To all the blessings and loved ones inside my life
That only want me live and make it through another fight
With all these demons plus trials and tribulations
That are conquered by my lonely cause people constantly hating
On my growth
Which makes it easy to do this on my own

Cause I love you and need you and want you by my side
And without you in my life I ain't too sure I'd be alive
We were s'pose to last forever but all of that was a lie
Told to make me feel loved and keep your motives in disguise
