Did What I Could Lyrics

Many nights I stayed up debating in my feelings

Is the future really bright if I'm the only one to see it

I did what I could to be the guy my friends believe in,

I did what I could to keep my old girl from leaving

I've been hurt before, I know what pain is,

And no amount of walls could stop the wind or the raining

I've strung my guitar, the vibration's healing, I can't describe my feelings, I can't tell you what it really is

Only what it felt like, fake commitment led to the cause of that effect, right

One stab to the heart, one deep in my back, Biggest blow to my mind, how did it come to that

Got tired walking with a chip on my shoulder

Easily forgive but don't think I could ever love her

Just the other day, had to lay down my brother

Guess taking a loss is just a part of growing older

Remember the last time that I smiled, safe to say my heart ain't known bout heat in a while,

Safe to say the future's coming, still feel like a child

Pray for better days, they on the way, can't give up now

They wanna hit my triggers, push me out of character,

Nonchalant nigga, you can't get through these barriers

If I showed the inside of my heart, I'd end up scaring her, thought we were for life till

I found out I was sharing her

If I told her that I love her, then I meant it, didn't think we split,

I thought we'd see it through the heaven, and I know that it was crazy,

There was methods to the madness

I just hope she's happy, bon voyage he can have her

Elevated, moving to a better place, I know it took a while, sometimes stumbled in my lane

Can't look to the side, my neighbors run a different race, one step at a time, I had to move at my pace, yeah

I can't tell you what it really is, only what it felt like

Did what I could, to be the guy my friends believe in,

Did what I could to keep my old girl from leaving,

I know what pain is, can't stop the wind or the raining, can't describe my feelings
