Lyrics

These days you’re causing a lot of issues
I just never wanted to miss you

I don’t know what to do these days
You made a hundred excuses, oh...

You know that I cared for you
You know that I’d do things for you oh...

21 issues, can’t help but miss you
But where are you now?
There’s a lot rough things on my mind

Tryna stay on the right path even if I have to walk alone
Never scared that people are watching
But feared some may be following

You had expectations
I’m alone in the rain fighting my memories

I’m just facing my own crisis
And I just don’t know if I can fight this
I just don’t know

Tryna stay on thе right path even if I have to walk alonе
Never scared that people are watching
But feared some may be following

The lies looking so real I almost believed them
Hard to find people who are sincere
Don’t become a slave to the wealth
You'll lose peace inside yourself

People telling me to leave this, leave that
They just think I’m chasing whatever
But God knows it’s more than that

Feeling a lot of pressure these days
Nobody knows what I’m feeling
They just tell me what they think and know

Everybody thinks of themselves
They’re thinking of themselves
But here I am all alone

25 years ‘till I’m on borrowed time
I just don’t know what to do
Feel like I don’t know myself
I went a mile for you, you’re still still complaining
At times I feel like I’ll just cave in

[Hook]
Man in the mirror don't fail me now
Man in the mirror don't fail me now, not today

Man in the mirror don't fail me now
Man in the mirror don't fail me now

[Verse 2]
Free fall in memories
What's ahead of me?
Now that you’re not by my side

Man in the mirror don't fail me
Man in the mirror don't fail me, not today

I don’t wanna lose myself over my career
I know it’s hard but once I’m done I’m outta here

Tryna stay on the right path even if I have to walk alone
Never scared that people are watching
But feared some may be following

[Verse 3]
I keep all my blessing out of sight
Some lose when they prefer the likes
Burned some bridges, built many more
Some people are only worth letting go

Work, eat, pray, and time for the missus
Pray I don’t waste time that I’ve been gifted
Just tying broken pieces together
My pen speaks more than I’ve ever

Nothing can prepare me enough
When the pain hurts me the most
I never claimed to be tough
Now I’m left with your ghost

Humble beginnings, but want a humble ending
Our visions drifted, but our song hasn’t ended
These are just my thoughts that I’ve been feeling
For a soul out there that may need some healing
Lord I’m asking for some healing
