[Verse 1]
Your dad stole money and your mom’s on Facebook
Your brother’s depressed and you’re just tryna make good
On promises to yourself
Who gives a fu*k about mental health?
The world’s gone crazy but what else is new?
You just keep on running buying brand new shoes
You got problems that you pay to share
You’re not complaining, you’re just happy that someone’s there

[Pre-Chorus]
But you can’t help feeling like
That there’s gotta be more to life
So you spin your wheels tryna find what’s real at 11 o’clock at night

[Chorus]
They say you gotta have faith, faith, faith
But it doesn’t feel safe, safe, safe
You just wanna run away, away, away
But you inevitably stay, stay, stay (Stay)

[Verse 2]
Love your girl, you just hope that it last
‘Cause you never seen a marriage that didn’t go bad
You been looking at rings for months
But you only wanna do this once
And you used to feel rich with only twenty in your pocket
Back when time moved slow and you didn’t need a watch
And you wonder if you’ll ever know
What it feels like to finally move on and let go

[Pre-Chorus]
But you can’t help feeling like
That there’s gotta be more to life
So you spin your wheels tryna find what’s real at 11 o’clock at night

[Chorus]

They say you gotta have faith, faith, faith
But it doesn’t feel safe, safe, safe
You just wanna run away, away, away
But you inevitably stay, stay, stay (Stay)

[Verse 3]
Yeah
Shackled and unsatisfied
Tell myself the saddest lies
Used to be bold now, every thought is italicized
Metastasis anger is stranger to healthy habits
It’s layers upon layers that make for a wealthy addict
My passion turns into poison when pointed the wrong directions
The tension is second guessing my choices got me stressing
It’s tantalizing, pyschoanalysing ’til my brain combust
I hate to rush and never quite feeling safe enough
The irony I’m tryna flee and find some s*it that’s dangerous
Ancient love got me chained in cuff, it’s hard to maneuver
Spend a hundred fifty just to take two puff straight Cuba
I’m used to people not taking ownership for their part
Knowing they trip from the start, I hate this s*it with my heart (Fu*k)

[Chorus]
They say you gotta have faith, faith, faith
But it doesn’t feel safe, safe, safe
You just wanna run away, away, away
But you inevitably stay, stay, stay (Stay)
