Spotlight

All my friends and family know I mean nothing but well

They always stuck by me even though I put them all through hell

See hurting you hurts me so much more

I′m burning, can't you tell?

You need to learn to love yourself before loving anyone else

And that′s why more time I'm stuck in this darkness

Just to hide from the limelight

Wish there was still a place that I can call my home

Wish there was still a place that I can call my home

Staring at my reflection through the cracks in the mirror

I'm no longer the man that you used to know

My blood is dripping and my words written in stone

You can try crush me but you′ll never crush my soul

Get me outta this darkness, give me back the spotlight

Cause why lie? This is all I know

Oh, this shit′s all I know

Oh, this shit's all I know

We all make mistakes, forgive me

This life this life tore me in two

'Cause when I lost myself and had no hope left

Your love pulled me through

Now that′s a perfect combination of miscommunication

They tried to misjudge me up to now

Just cause I kept missing probation

And here's me trying to give you more

When you′ve already had all of me before

Since when has it been all for one?

I swear it's meant to be one for all

'Cause no one should love any one

More than they love themselves

And that′s why more time I'm stuck in this darkness

Trying to hide from the limelight

Wish there was still a place that I can call my home

Staring at my reflection through the cracks in the mirror

I'm no longer the man that you used to know

My blood is dripping and my words written in stone

They can try crush me but they′ll never crush my soul

Get me outta this darkness, give me back the spotlight

'Cause why lie? This is all I know

When you make hella money it′s easy to change

I wish I never let that shit get to my brain

I was this close to losing it all cause I was a fool

Blinded by the fame, distracted by the lights

Always in the wrong, thinking that I'm right

Lost in my thoughts, feeling useless

Trying to justify my actions with excuses

That′s the story of my life

That's for those who really care if I′m doing well

I have found happiness within myself

Oi, it's like all of this shit needed to happen

Just so I could finally come out my shell

Just get me outta this darkness, let me enjoy the limelight

Wish there was still a place that I can call my home

Staring at my reflection through the cracks in the mirror

I′m no longer the man that you used to know

My blood is dripping and my words written in stone

They can try crush me but they'll never crush my soul

Get me outta this darkness, give me back the spotlight

'Cause why lie? This is all I know

Oh, oh, this shit's all I know

Uh, uh, this shit′s all I know, uuuuh
