Lyrics and translation

Original

Scared of people

Scared of heights

Scared to have a daughter cos it's one in five

Hope she isn't blaming it all on herself

Hope she isn't hiding all the shit I hide

Scared there ain't a god and ain't a promised land

If I tell my therapist she'll tie my hands up

Send me to a place where they gon hide my makeup

And I'm so scared of it

Time heals but I'm impatient

They're gonna see me when I'm inpatient

Straight with a jacket on

I can only sing my songs

I spilled red wine on a white sofa

At 27 or a bit older

I traumatise myself

Cos I'm about to write like hell

Oh I been

Running the race, whatever it takes I been

Doing a two step under the weight I been

Whatever the outcome

Whatever awaits I've been

Oh I've been... falling/flying

If I bend over if I break

Never tell soul about the bed I made

I don't want to think about the role he played

Snatching at my lips and grabbing at my waist

Hoping there's a god and there's a promised land

If I tell my therapist she'll tie my hands up

Send me to a place where they gon hide my makeup

And I'm so scared of it

Heart big but it break easy

Push far so you don't leave me

Fear of abandonment

Fear of a late night binge too intimate

Good life nigga don't tease me

If I die hope I go easy

And you forgive my sins

Hold a heavy gate open

Oh I been

Running the race

Whatever it takes I been

Doing a two step under the weight I been

Whatever the outcome

Whatever awaits I've been

Oh I've been... falling/flying

Never been no bed of roses

Need no diagnosis

All your information

Your advice is loaded

Medicate her

Give her hope and keep her bible open

I'm on the straight and narrow

And I won't sugar coat it

Running the race, whatever it takes I been

Doing a two step under the weight I been

Whatever the outcome

Whatever awaits I've been

Oh I've been... falling/flying

Whatever the outcome

Whatever awaits I've been

Oh I've been... falling/flying
