J-La - Work Out

Things don't always work out the way you want it to
Things don't always work out the way we want it to
Things don't always work out the way you want it to
Things don't always work out the way we want it to
I hate to admit it but I still didn't
Delete our texts in my phone, it's still in it
Coming to think of it, it's you that made this music happen
You were my biggest fan, made me feel like the coolest rapper
Rappin' to my songs and even made a song together
The first time I ever felt like we belonged together
The first time I ever showed my insecurities
When nobody listened you always had an ear for me
Ever since you it's been hard to be myself again
Like I can't find something real but tell myself I can
Tryna keep the faith, something that I lost in us
All because I wanted something else that took me off the bus
We were both riding in, but you held on to me, palms sweaty
Even though, we were runnin' on empty, unsteady
Love and I'm the one who let it die
And I didn't see it coming prosthetic eye
But I'm getting by cause
Things don't always work out the way you want it to
Things don't always work out the way we want it to
Things don't always work out the way you want it to
Things don't always work out the way we want it to
I have an issue with myself, it's hard for me to open up
Hesitant on being me, when I start to sober up
And I found myself in this mess that I put me in
Everytime I look me in my eyes in the mirror
I can see thru all the lies, it's a prison that I took me in
Don't know where I should begin to change
Wear my hoodie in the rain,
They're lookin' like "Could he be insane?"
Wouldn't leave a stain, that's what I promised
I Let myself down being dishonest
This cuts deep I let it bleed on this sonnet
All I'm dealin' with are fleas on the market
I brush 'em off cause, they wanna reach in your wallet
Starting to wear me out, I think I need me a stylist
Should be gettin' a cleanse, releasing all of my toxins
Something like Eminem, I'm cleanin' out my closet
That's how it is, that's the way it goes
Making mistakes is the only way to grow
It's the only way to know that
Things don't always work out the way you want it to
Things don't always work out the way we want it to
Things don't always work out the way you want it to
Things don't always work out the way we want it to
