Only Time Will Tell
[Verse 1]
What's the point of dreamin' if you're thinking it won't come true?
What's the point of falling for you, if you won't fall too?
Scared that my music is somethin' none of you will vibe to
My twitter count is only at 3 hundred and 42
But I swear that I'm worth it, but I don't think I deserve it
I put my heart in your hands, hopin' that some of you heard it
This my story, my dream, strugglin' to find the real me
Skippin' class and recordin' 'til my throat got weak
And now I'm hittin' my peak
Not with talent, but with patience
Cuz some nights I really hate this, and I feel I'll never make it
I been hated from the start, yeah I'm pursuing it all
Mending a broken heart that took a hell of a fall, but
Time isn't money, you can't earn yesterday back
So I'm focused on the grind, letting you know where I'm at
Dumped all my chips on the table, yeah there's no going back
I promise, I'll pay every single one of you back
So is this my time? I really don't know
This is something that I've wanted since 12 years old
Put my parents in a house until they grow old
Teachers telling me my dream is just way too old
But no matter what happens, this is for me, do you hear?
I pour my soul into this mic, so it can leak in your ears
Dealt with every single doubt throughout my high school career
One day I'll see my inspirations as one of my peers
Yeah, through my sickness and health
I never cared about the money, the fans, or the wealth
The love I always keep on getting, always giving me help
But will I make it past the stars? Only time will tell
(Chorus)
Don't know what to do, and I don't know who I'll ever be
So I'ma just do it all myself
So I guess time will only tell
You don't know what you mean to me, I'll never know how much I mean to you
Always want you right here next to me
But I guess time will only

[Verse 2]
As you staring out the window, hating all of our lives
Reminiscin' of the days where I would call to say hi
It's ironic how you call me saying, "We're done, goodbye"
You said I only broke your heart, well you broke mine
So you can hate me, you can love me, but you tore us apart
All my friends told me no, while I said yes from the start
You said I'll always have a special place deep in your heart
Well, it's only full of darkness, I don't know where you are
But you say it's how it's meant to be, maybe it's how we let it be
I don't think you really know how much you really meant to me
What's the point of choices if we just believe in destiny?
If you're gonna break my heart, might as well break the rest of me
So, go and wipe your tears, the damage is done
The night is done and over and so is our fun
And I know it really hurts, but you had the gun
If love's truly a battle I don't think I won
But no matter what happens, no I'll never be far
You'll always be part of me, but like that of a scar
Didn't choose to split up, we just grew apart
But never thought life without you would ever be this hard
So I'm patching up the wounds, can't get you off my mind
You were my hell on earth, yeah we had a hell of a time
Which is why I always smiled when you crossed my mind
I guess time will only tell if we have feelings inside
Through the highs and lows, into this life I go
Through the smiles and the heartaches, I won't lose control
This is the moment that we fight for, for the day we grow old
To look back on our life and say we did what we're told
Not just pursuing happiness, we've been pursuing it all
Whether we fly and we make it or if we smile and we fall
Nothing will ever matter more than my team and you all
Because all of you were there when my back was against the wall
And now we're coming up, we're hitting the scene
And I may never know what life is and all of this means
But if I ever get to find out, will you be there with me?
Only time will tell if we're living the dream
[Chorus]
Dont know what to do and I don't know who I'll ever be
So I'ma do it all myself so I guess time will only tell
You don't know what you mean to me
Ill never know how much I mean to you
Always want you right here next to me
But I guess time will only tell
