Back when my phone wouldn’t stop
Busy chasing likes, chasing shots
Thought I was winning the race
Blinded by the mirror and praise
Weekend nights were never quiet
Always chasing something higher
Friends around but none were real
Smiles that only helped me feel
I had a job, I had a plan
A car, a place, some cash in hand
But I was lonely deep inside
The kind of truth you try to hide
Now I see what I couldn’t see
The best of life was right in front of me
I pushed away the ones who cared
To prove a point no one declared
You stayed when I was hard to love
You gave when I had given up
And now I’m not afraid to fall
I was wrong to think I had it all
Used to judge by clothes and brands
Acted like I had the upper hand
Treated kindness like it’s weak
Never let my true heart speak
Family dinners I would skip
For empty bars and ego trips
Gave advice but never listened
Now I see all that I was missin’
I looked successful, on a roll
But there was chaos in control
All the noise and all the pride
Drowned the voice I kept inside
Now I see what I couldn’t see
The best of life was right in front of me
I pushed away the ones who cared
To prove a point no one declared
You stayed when I was hard to love
You gave when I had given up
And now I’m not afraid to fall
I was wrong to think I had it all
You never asked for anything
You just waited through the storm
While I was busy acting big
You quietly kept me warm
Now I wake up, and I just breathe
Grateful for the air and peace
If I could go back, I would say
“You were my everything always”
Now I’m living with less to show
But loving deeper than I know
And if I ever lose it all
I’ll still have you to catch the fall
Yeah, I was wrong to think I had it all
