Old Me

Shout out to the old me
And everything he showed me
Glad you didn’t listen when the world was tryna slow me
No one could control me
Left my lovers lonely
Had to f*** it up before I really got to know me

Never a night alone
Anywhere you wanna go
Woke up in the morning
Wearing someone else’s clothes
Pictures in my phone
With people I don’t know
Woke up in the morning
How the hell’d I make it home?

And they wondered how long I could keep it up
But I wondered if I ever, if I’d ever get enough
And I did some shit I never shoulda done
I would do it over now
I’d do it over

Shout out to the old me
And everything you showed me
Glad you didn’t listen when the world was tryna slow me
No one could control me
Left my lovers lonely
Had to f*** it up before I really got to know me

All the mistakes I made, I made, I made, I made
Woulda been the price I paid, I paid, I paid, I paid
Shout out to the old me
And everything you showed me
Had to f*** it up before I let you get to know me

Another round, here we go
Going in, blow for blow
Look into the mirror, take the punches that I throw
I’m constantly reminded
Of all the compromises
By the people from my past who have a hard time letting go

And they wondered how long I could keep it up
But I wondered if I ever, if I’d ever get enough
And I did some shit I never shoulda done
I would do it over now
I’d do it over

Shout out to the old me
And everything you showed me
Glad you didn’t listen when the world was tryna slow me
No one could control me
Left my lovers lonely
Had to f*** it up before I really got to know me

All the mistakes I made, I made, I made, I made
Woulda been the price I paid, I paid, I paid, I paid
Shout out to the old me
And everything you showed me
Had to f*** it up before I let you get to know me

Devil at my door
Got my knocking, knocking, knocking
On the other side
Ashes on the floor
But I’m walking, walking, walking
Out of here alive

Shout out to the old me
And everything you showed me
Glad you didn’t listen when the world was tryna slow me
No one could control me
Left my lovers lonely
Had to f*** it up before I really got to know me

All the mistakes I made, I made, I made, I made
Woulda been the price I paid, I paid, I paid, I paid
Shout out to the old me
And everything you showed me
Had to f*** it up before I let you get to know me, ay, ay
