[Chorus]
Cuz I Amdon't wanna be like Dmthis,
I've been rGunning these streets
for too Clong now, I've got Amnothing,
that's true, but this Dmsong now.
But the fuGrther I go,
I Ewanna go home.
Cuz I Amdon't wanna be like Dmthis,
I've been rGunning these streets
for too Clong now, I've got Amnothing,
that's true, but this Dmsong now.
But the fuGrther I go,
I Ewanna go home.
[Verse]
AmI fuckin swear that I care,
but it's hDmard when you stare into the bGottom of a bottle that is emCpty and bare.
Oh my deAmsolate soul, in my desolate hoDmme, it's my desolate Grole, yeah I'm Chere all alone.
I canAm't think of a reason to get the fucDmk out of bed, curtaGins closed, 
lights are off, am I Calive or dead?
I haven't Amshaved in a week, I always sDmlur when I speak.
Tolerance Gat it's peak, another Cfifth just to sleep.
Oh Amwoe is me, woe is me I Dmguess I need love.
GHoes you see, hoes you see, I'm Cjust in a rut.
And I Amswear I'm trying baby, please Dmbaby don't leave.
GGoddamn I'm a fuck-up but I guess tChat's just me.
So AmI sit in my room and I'll Dmcry in my bed.
GThinking about all the shit that made me Cwrong in my head.
AmI keep trying to climb but it Dmseems so steep.
Pour my Gself a fucking whiskey and go Cback to sleep bitch.
[Chorus]
Cuz I Amdon't wanna be like Dmthis,
I've been rGunning these streets
for too Clong now, I've got Amnothing,
that's true, but this Dmsong now.
But the fuGrther I go,
I Ewanna go home.
Cuz I Amdon't wanna be like Dmthis,
I've been rGunning these streets
for too Clong now, I've got Amnothing,
that's true, but this Dmsong now.
But the fuGrther I go,
I Ewanna go home.
[Verse]
I watched my Ammama cry, she says "Dmbaby, why?"
I say "Gbaby die, baby's gone Clike a suicide."
I don't Amthink you'll see him soon mom, stay Dmout my room mom.
Tell GDaddy that I hate that motherCfucker like you mom.
I sing this Amshit for you Danny, DmSasha, and Jordan.
These mirrors Gkeep getting warmer every Ctime that I hold them.
I pour this Amout for you like a Dmpartner in crime.
It's Gpart of the times when you're Csick in the mind.
Yeah I'm Amsick, oh so sick, I'm so Dmsick of this shit.
Yeah I'm Glit, oh so lit, I'm so Cfucked up off it.
So I Amstumble around, till I Dmstumble-fall down,
Into this Gpuddle of my tears laying Chere on the ground.
When you've Amgot nothing left you've got notDmhing left to lose.
With my last Gleft single breath I'll still be Csinging to you.
So when you Ambury me man you better Dmbury me deep.
And sing aGlong to this song 'cause you're Cbroken like me.
[Chorus]
Cuz I Amdon't wanna be like Dmthis,
I've been rGunning these streets
for too Clong now, I've got Amnothing,
that's true, but this Dmsong now.
But the fuGrther I go,
I Ewanna go home.
Cuz I Amdon't wanna be like Dmthis,
I've been rGunning these streets
for too Clong now, I've got Amnothing,
that's true, but this Dmsong now.
But the fuGrther I go,
I Ewanna go home.
[Bridge]
AmAnd I wanna go Dmback to the start!
GBack where we Cstarted from!
AmAnd I know it's Dmbeen so long!
GI was wrong, I was wrong, I was Ewrong all along!
AmAnd I wanna go Dmback to the start!
GBack where we Cstarted from!
AmAnd I know it's Dmbeen so long!
GI was wrong, I was wrong, I was Ewrong all along!
[Chorus]
Cuz I Amdon't wanna be like Dmthis,
I've been rGunning these streets
for too Clong now, I've got Amnothing,
that's true, but this Dmsong now.
But the fuGrther I go,
I Ewanna go home.
Cuz I Amdon't wanna be like Dmthis,
I've been rGunning these streets
for too Clong now, I've got Amnothing,
that's true, but this Dmsong now.
But the fuGrther I go,
