Yeah
Sweet morning dew
Heavy one, heavy one, heavy one
(EMRLD)
You said you'd be in my arms by the next crescent moon
Heavy one
My immaturity created monsters, to any girl that I hurt
Hope you feel the guilt when you hear this verse
Been wearing it on my sleeve, see the hurt through the shirt
Lust got the best of me, couldn't focus on your worth
Didn't sympathize with your cries, you was tired
I was blind trying to find peace in the person that I was
Instead of tryna grow into the man God designed
Bloomed a lil' late but pray for divine timing
But by that time, damage already done
A jail of hurt, wish that I can pay the bond
Resent me now, after you is where I run
Ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun
Manipulator, misogynistic, narcissistic
I'm put in that statistic but wasn't my intentions
Life came at a baby boy so fast
I was sixteen with the world in my hands
You said you'd be in my arms by the next crescent moon
Marissa, I apologize how I handled your heart
Pouring into a boy, I was far from a man
Hurt me deeply, seeing you being so good to me
Deep down knew that I was taking you for granted
Unappreciative, that was me
Self sabotaging, feeling like you deserved a better me
I walked away from you trying to heal me
And left you stranded in a broken home
While you was going through your pregnancy
Made a promise that I be back to you in no time
Along that journey, I had came to realize
I wasn't ready to be the man that you had fantasized
After I promised to be the man that you Fantasized
Took my hands, then strangled the soul tie
In them nine months, I was probably there nine times
Promise you a wedding you ain't get to see a wedding gown
Hope you see a better version of me in my own child
I know your background, pops was in jail
Mama still a addict, you never had a family
Your home was abandoned, that was your chance to fix your curse
That's the part of the story that make it worse
My upbringing significant to this situation
But I'ma save it 'cause this a apology and accountability letter
That I owed you and it's Been long awaited
And I hope you get it and then appreciate it
From this point, moving forward, under oath, Marissa, swear to fix the void
My actions viewed by the Lord, if I slip up, punish me by the sword
Can't fix the past, but today let's move forward
Identified my crisis while I was trying to get righteous
So all my wrongs I'm writing while also chasing enlightenment
I know my love was silent, somewhere my heart had went violent
Let's put the past behind us, forgiveness, I hope you find it
Genuinely apologize for real
Jasmine Ave
Sweet morning dew (heavy one)
You said you'd be in my arms by the next crescent moon
I apologize to anyone I ever hurt
Any monsters I've created, I apologize for real
It's some promises I kept
But the ones I didn't keep, them be the ones that hurt the most, sorry
