One Take Lyrics

Yeah

You know

Recently I've had a lot of loss in my life

A lot of people that I've loved

A lot of things I loved to do gone

And

Last night I was thinking

You know put on a beat

And started writing

This song is called One take

One take no stopping

Straight off the dome let's go

I know

I made a lot of mistakes

And I'm sorry

I know those the ones that I just can't erase

Like when you write on a paper

And now it's just kinda faint

You can't see it but it's still there yeah i can kinda relate

It's like my problems of life

the ones I call a mistake

But their not my fault

For me it's just an easy escape

To say that I did them

Because I'm scared to be fake

Yeah

Because blaming other people

Makes you a target for someone to hate

I learned that the hard way throughout my very short life

That speaking your opinion can really really shorten your time

And when we live in a world where all we want to do is to strive

Putting tape over your mouth is now the only key to survive?

Now that don't make since to me

But nothing anymore ever does

I kinda stopped caring after I lost my favorite cuz

Her name was Serena

And she was only 15

But she took her life

Because people told her she'll never be

Who she wanted to be

And I hate my self everyday for not checking in

See how she was doing

See how life her has actually been

I feel like I could of been the change of what happened that afternoon

I could of seen her smile again and heard that laugh that everyone knew

I wish you didn't have to go

I wish I never got that call

That you were gone and you were dead

On the slide of our childhood park

The tears in my eyes could of filled up a bar

Yeah

And the heat that I felt in my body would of broke the thermometer

It's been four years and I still carry around your name

Like how you used to carry me when I was just a little baby

Look how the tables have changed Serena

Look how the tables have changed

Yeah

I hope that you still think about me

You know when you're up there

I still wish that you were here with me though

You know

I could of seen you a little more

Would of experienced life with you a little more

But

Things happen

Right?

(Find a way

Find a way here)

Okay so

I must admit I wasn't always a saint

I did some really wrong things when I was lost in my day

I wasn't the nicest and I was always lost in haze

I made a lot of people feel bad cause of things I would say

And honestly I was hurt from my past I just didn't have a way

To say

How I felt so it just turned everything into rage

And I heard about this God that I was always afraid

Wouldn't take me in because I that felt I couldn't ever change

So I'd hate everyone around me who would ever push me to church

But it was the very decision that saved me from being blood on a shirt

I went through rough times that most don't know

It was very close to being the end of my road

Yeah

I didn't have anyone at least that's how I felt

Because I was too scared to reach out and belt

About how felt

So I just held it all in yeah

And bottled it up

But one day it started to leak and it all felt out

I found myself in my room

With my cat and a knife

And I looked into his eyes as

I was about to end my own life

I saw my reflection of my Bible gifted by my side

I turned to open the page and

It was 2nd Corinthians 12:9

That verse saved me from ending my life

It gave me so much strength to get passed all the strife

I love God so much for what he did for me that day

That night

Yeah

Recently my prayers have all fallin in line

From being saved to finding the meaning of my own life

I thank Him everyday for looking past my mistakes

He saw the real me and all the pain that was stuck on my face

I know Serena would of loved to see if I finally got saved

I know she's up there looking

And if you ever hear this song Serena

If they play it up above

Please know we all miss you

Especially me

Aka you're favorite cuz

(I need you here

Come back to me

Far way

When you're right here

I need you here

Come back to me

Find a way

Find a way here)
