Please Advise That I Took A Step Back To Redefine Lyrics

Verse 1:
I… Used to drink until the memories of us would fade.
Stupid how I thought that that’s the way that I would change.
I could move mountains, but you’re standing in my way.
Laughter’s the best medicine. The smiles ease the pain,
But these fake smiles got me lashin’ out and sayin’ things I shouldn’t say
Got me burnin’ bridges down I worked so hard to walk across.
Got me in my feelings. Now my peers use to manipulate
Me with hopes to watch me slip and watch me fall
But, look at me now! Look at the features, and look at the crowds!
Look at the people who spoke out my name with the foulest intention who now put a foot in their mouth!
Say I play victim, ’cause I cut ’em off like a hangnail.
Now it’s ironic. They’re pointing a finger at me. I’m the one they’re talkin about!

Chorus:
Oh lord!
Got these fake smiles around me every day now.
Got these people talkin’ ’bout me. What they say is foul.
Sometimes, the people that you take a bullet for are the ones that got you aimed down.
Oh lord!
Got these fake smiles around me every day now.
Got these people talkin’ ’bout me. What they say is foul.
Sometimes, the people that you take a bullet for are the ones that got you aimed down.

Verse 2:
I… Used to write until the memories of us were gone.
Crazy how I thought that that’s the way that I move on.
Wounds are bound to heal, but remains are all these scars.
If laughter’s the best medicine, then my smile’s not too strong.
’cause these fake smiles surround me. They empower all my guilt,
But I wear my mistakes proudly, like I’m captain with his shield,
And to say I run from problems is like sayin’ I don’t feel.
I just choose to drop these people who exacerbate my will!

Verse 3:
You’re unsatisfied with life, so you just cling to mine!
You put all these walls up, and to me you’re just a glass house I can see inside.
Funny how your girl says I’m the bad guy, when the truth is, she don’t know the man she sleeps beside.
Please advise, that I… Took a step back to redifine
Who’s the priority versus who tortures my peace of mind.
I’m not avoiding things. I just make choices that you don’t agree with,
But honestly, I am just done with your ego and tryin’ to feed it.
If life is a journey that we design, I get the privelege who joins me, who gets to see it!

Chorus:
Oh lord!
Got these fake smiles around me every day now.
Got these people talkin’ ’bout me. What they say is foul.
Sometimes, the people that you take a bullet for are the ones that got you aimed down.
Oh lord!
Got these fake smiles around me every day now.
Got these people talkin’ ’bout me. What they say is foul.
Sometimes, the people that you take a bullet for are the ones that got you aimed down.

Verse 4:
Why explain myself, when your goal is to misunderstand me?
Why go so in depth over feelin’s you keep devaluing?
Why should I waste my breath on this message that you keep doubting?
And, why should I hear you out when your judgement is more than cloudy?
It’s flawed,… Broke, and fraudulent, lost…
It’s always caught up in women how much that this or that cost.
I put my life in this music. I put my life in my palm.
You put your life in that bottle, then pinned it up right on that instagram wall.

Verse 5:
See, all these fake smiles got me livin’ less than lucid while I read between the lines.
Got me walkin’ straight and narrow, but I’m speakin’ out of spite.
Got me hearin’ such an earful. I’m the man that you don’t like.
All I ask is that you please make up your mind!
’cause, when I was the drunk, all you did was look down on me.
Then I got sober and cleaned up my act.
Now you laugh at me, talkin’ sarcastically, gossip our casualties, scoff and take jabs at me, when I’m not there.
Prayin’ for days I fall off, no one catches me, taxin’ my patience, and taxin’ my sanity.
I am so sick of these fake smiles that keep surroundin’ me!

Chorus:
Oh lord!
Got these fake smiles around me every day now.
Got these people talkin’ ’bout me. What they say is foul.
Sometimes, the people that you take a bullet for are the ones that got you aimed down.
Oh lord!
Got these fake smiles around me every day now.
Got these people talkin’ ’bout me. What they say is foul.
Sometimes, the people that you take a bullet for are the ones that got you aimed down.
Oh lord!
Got these fake smiles around me every day now.
Got these people talkin’ ’bout me. What they say is foul.
Sometimes, the people that you take a bullet for are the ones that got you aimed down…
