I've seen too much hurt and too much pain
Too little faith and too much strain
I got big goals and even bigger dreams
Way beyond the point of reaching fame
I got a good girl and she loves me
She stuck around when everything got ugly
And helped me conquer my habits
Saw the evil in me and looked right past it
My mom used to say I'm just like my dad
And it killed me cuz she was right
But I don't wanna be like this no more
No more rum to help me sleep at night
I'm gonna fight my demons and hope I win
No more depression, Gotta hold my chin
Up to the sky, up where its high
They say better days are coming
I just pray it's not a lie
I say Goodbye to the place that I used to be
Goodbye to it all, hello to tomorrow
Everything's gone wrong, what happened to my plans
Everything that was great all seems so bland
I've lost my taste, I've lost my touch
Everything I do, I do it for the rush
Cuz I got trapped in a world full of drugs
Full of hate, full of girls, full of friends who can all turn fake
Wonder how much more can I take
Even in my own house I'm becoming out of place
And I hate this shit, I gotta leave this mess
I burn this weed down to relieve my stress
Shit, as arrogant as it is the truth comes out
Cuz yellow bricks ain't on my route
I picked the road I'm on, it ain't no easy one
Feel like I've been looking down the barrel of a loaded gun
It's time to face my fears for once
Maybe I'll see you in a couple months
I say Goodbye to the place that I used to be
Goodbye to it all, hello to tomorrow
I'm sick of being sick, I'm losing my youth
Doing drugs just to get a little boost
Momma always told me you better speak the truth
But she don't wanna know about all the shit that I do
So I just separate myself til she got bad health
Thought if I struck well, that might fucking help
But it won't, money can't buy life
So I'm sitting here hoping she's alive at night
Hoping I could hold her close in my arms so tight
Promise her that everything is gonna be alright
Like she did back when I was a kid
I know she can't be proud by the way that I live
So I'm gon change, it's a fresh start
I've been dumb in the past but I'm gonna get smart
I'mma change, I can promise that
You gave me everything, and I'mma give it back
I say Goodbye to the place that I used to be
Goodbye to it all, hello to tomorrow
So this is goodbye, bye
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye
