about

Music video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=41YsAi5Mi0I
My lyrics are often inspired by my relationships. I’ve been in some that turned south and became a lot of arguing back and forth. When I say, “I can’t take it/My heart is breaking,” I’m talking about having trouble coping with breaking off something I sunk so much time into. It can feel like you’re drowning in stress and your partner’s problems as well as your own. - Defonte Berry

lyrics

The way you looked at me was never the same
I can’t think of anything to say
Things are getting really hard this way
All I know is this can’t be the end
The shit you put me through this isn’t fair
Can you show that you really care
I think of you every day
I wish you could see things my way
I thought that you were always mine
I guess I lose every time

So I guess I’ll say that
I can’t fake it
My bones are breaking
You're so unjaded
In this house untaken
Is this the way we should go
Moving so fast but not slow
This is the reason why I’m neck deep
Ohhhhh ohhhh I’m in Neck deep

What are you waiting for
Doing this shit to me
Always saying I’m wrong
Making up everything
This is the reason why I can’t
Put myself through all this
Realizing you are right
And beating myself up all night
This has to end you must go

I can’t fake it
My bones are breaking
You're so unjaded
In this house untaken
Is this the way we should go
Moving so fast but not slow
This is the reason why I’m neck deep
Ohhhhh ohhhh I’m in Neck deep
