Apologize

Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay

Im holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say, but I just cant make a sound
You tell me that you need me, then you go and cut me down
But wait
You tell me that youre sorry, didn't think Id turn around
And say

Walkin through the hallways, feelin like a ghost
He tried to talk to her but the words wont come up out his throat
Momma got fired so he wear the same clothes
Eviction notice on the door, apartment getting foreclosed
Paps died, overdosed, momma raising kids alone
But then locked up for selling drugs, case moving slow
Straight A student, odds stacked against him
Looking in the mirror, hed just see his dads reflection
Every day, lonely, his homies aint his homies
Graduation day, no family at the ceremony
Moved out, him and his momma started growing apart
Her destination, just a couple bags of clothes and a car, yeah

I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say, but I just cant make a sound
You tell me that you need me, then you go and cut me down
But wait
You tell me that you're sorry, didnt think Id turn around
And say

Drinking liquor just to fill a whole in his heart
Broken and scarred, praying every day that God wasnt far
Felt his prayers went unnoticed, thoughts went unspoken
Kept a gun loaded for the moments he was hopeless
Gave his heart to a few, but they all gave it back broken
Bottled his emotions by drinking liquor and smoking
Every day a struggle when you trying to solve a puzzle
With most of the pieces missing, surrounded by so much trouble
Back against the wall, just wanting to end it all
But that little bit of hope'll keep you fighting through the war
They say that everything that happens to you happens for a reason
Its hard to believe in, when the worlds so evil

Im holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground
And Im hearing what you say, but I just cant make a sound
You tell me that you need me, then you go and cut me down
But wait
You tell me that youre sorry, didnt think Id turn around
And say

Momma always calling me, just press and ignore
Got this Devil on his shoulder he can never got off
He never know how to be happy, dark clouds always follow him
Take a couple pills out the strip and he swallow em
Never share emotions with nobody, he just bottle em
Wishin he could turn back time, but rock bottom got him feeling like a **** up
Always so drugged up
We all guilty of suppressing our problems until the suns up
Well deal with it tomorrow? Tomorrow never comes
Sweep it under the rug and hope the day never comes
That something bite us in the ass, the pain never lasts
And even if it kills you, we gotta accept our past

Im holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground
And Im hearing what you say, but I just cant make a sound
You tell me that you need me, then you go and cut me down
But wait
You tell me that youre sorry, didnt think Id turn around
And say
