Message in a Bottle Lyrics

I wanted the unusual, cuz usually it's all the same

Just using you, used to the pain, it's just the game

Ain't it beautiful how nothing has changed, it's just the same

Just another love funeral hanging over my name

I'm assuming you fell off a bridge and probably drowned

Scuba diving in the river, tryna find yourself a crown

But all you found's a boot and a message in a bottle

You held it in your hands like you really hit the lotto

Like, oh, what a treat, look at this message I've received

I'ma open it and read what this message may beseech

As you're pulling out the sheet, admiring the bottle

You notice TC engraved right inside the bottom

But you continue, you start to read the letter

The first line says, I really wish I could do better

Followed by, I think you were my most prized treasure

With all the people in the world, nobody else can measure

Even with you not around, my love will burn forever

I miss you on the daily, wish we could've stayed together

But all good things have to end, the road have to turn

And I'm burning the candle at both ends, just tryna make it work

If there's a chance you could forgive and forget and we can move on

Then I could be the man you know would never do you wrong

Know I'll never do you wrong

Run, run, run

Run from your heart

And into my light

You only get one shot at love

One shot at love

And I always go mess something up

And I always go, and I always go mess something up

You only get one shot at trust

One shot, one shot at trust, baby

But I don't know if one shot's enough

I don't know, I don't know if one shot's enough

And it's painful, always letting myself down

Somehow thought love could be straightforward

But you giving me the runaround, it's hateful

Nobody ever prepares you for the come down

You get brought up so high and then they let you go and plummet down

It's unfaithful, distasteful, these women acting grown

Just to steal your heart and play you

I'm dealing with these woes, tryna filter through these hoes

That gon' leave me all alone, shit I probably should've known

So the fuck am I doing here again

Just my dream girl that gon' only see me as a friend

Now it's probably gotta end, it's a mystery

Why all of my efforts end in misery, it's killing me

I just need to catch my breath and let it breathe

Let her be, as a letter you received

Is a message straight from me, telling you I gotta leave

Because we didn't work as we

I'm just a love addict, yeah baby I'm a fiend

So it wasn't meant for you, it was more meant for me

Uh, I'm aware now, I don't care now

I let my walls down and you still won't play fair now

Ay, it's a risk I can't take

You might show up late and trust you can't break

My soul, it's gourmet, it's homemade lo mein

My old ways go away, I wrote this whole thing

Just for you to say it's so lame

Damn, bitch, you so fake
