Efabes - If Only Lyrics

If only the world weren't black and white
Maybe you and me would compromise
But that ain't the world we're living in
Na we always have to pick a side

Hurt you but I couldn't explain what I had done
You thought it was a fight but the war had been won
Lay me down like a weapon
Leave me there stop stressing
I was only made to fight now
Tried to shut up but I can't pipe down

If only you'd seen the places I've been
I wouldn't hurt you, no no never again
Facades that I spend so much time to create
Are there to keep those who I love away

Shawties call me two faced in a way
There are only two ways that I act
Me when I'm alone
Matter of fact, I only got once face and a mask
Put it on, going out
Face the world scream and shout
Shout and cry, say goodbye
To the real me it had to die

Fronting for a broken kid oh no
Close the jar seal the lid oh no
The jar's a coffin for my broken soul
In a jar cuz it had no time to grow
Missing feeling love and life on the low
Miss drinking in the sun, not red solo
Playing polo with my heart
That's when the words start

If only you'd seen the places I've been
I wouldn't hurt you, no no never again
Facades that I spend so much time to create
Are there to keep those who I love away

Cuz who knows what they would think if they all saw
Mistakes that I made breaking unwritten laws
Hurting the ones who I cherished the most
So I raise my glass to a wordless toast

Here's to all the other sinners
The once I was the big winners
We can't get past what once was
No
Here's to all of our bottled souls
Thinking that we're in control
Knowing what the truth really does

If only you'd seen the places I've been
I wouldn't hurt you, no no never again
Facades that I spend so much time to create
Are there to keep those who I love away
