Past Gone

Now let me tell you about a girl I know

Well not really, I met her on a tour stop outside of Philly

She was front row, reached her hand so I could feel it

I kept lookin' at her, she knew every single lyric

It was dope

I stuck around after the show to go and kick it with the fans

Who come to see us on the road

It was all love

Bunch of pictures and hugs

But that's when I learned just how different she was

See she was 19 and addicted to drugs

And almost died last year

Sometimes she wishes she was

And she was cryin'

Her brother was with her, he came too

He nodded and he said that everything she's saying's true

And then she said tonight was the best night of her life

And even if it didn't last, right now it feels right

I looked her in the eyes, and put it on my life

That we gon' work on this together

And she gon' be alright, I know

So when you feel alone in the night time

Just know that you ain't ever on your own

Cause every body goes through the low oh ohs

And I just want you to know oh

Just know that I believe in you

Like you believe in me

Just know that I believe in you

Like you believe in me

Like you believe in me

Yeah, yeah, like you believe in me

See things happen in crazy ways

I swear to god since that day I've changed my ways

Now every day when I wake up I reach over

Grab my phone, send a text to her

To let her know she's not alone

And I promise that I won't forget

Cause on the real, it's so sad, she's so depressed

And through our daily conversations

What I've learned about depression

Is that it's hard to know the answers when you don't know the questions

Cause she don't understand why she feels the way she does

No matter what she tries, man it never is enough

And a few months back for one night

I felt the pain that she felt her whole life

Cause she called and said that she was ready to go

And said thanks for everything, but she was ready to go

I said please don't, there's something you gotta know

I wrote a song about you, and this is how it goes

It was five hours later when we hung up

She was tired and the sun was startin' to come up

But yo, we spent that whole night just talkin' it through

And at that point, there wasn't much more I could do

But what I did say, is that she needed to promise me

She wouldn't do anything crazy without callin' me

And so far, man things have been better

We talk way less cause things have been better

And last time she called was my birthday night

And it was the best gift i've gotten in my life

She said remember that time when you sang me that song

Without that night, I'd be way past gone

So, thank you
