FOMO.
[Hook]
Playing games with the wrong one
Seems they won't stop preying til the Lord comes
More victims of human nature in the long run
Letting go of my high hopes
Lift me up whenever I'm low
All for the peace til it's costing me
Tatted on my mind while I'm lost at sea
I promise to come and find you
Fear of missing out was always something I knew
[Verse 1]
Forever coming up short, searching for safe
They'll nurse you back to health to show you hurting awaits
Feared missing out on love, so you made the perfect mistakе
Not believing in your gut left you gaslit with еscape on your mind
You built a home and they pillaged it
Difficult to be an open book to someone illiterate
Now you're missing out on you due to your inexperience
A victim of abuse, yet no one's taking you serious
Skin flawed now
The day your heart thaws out, you'll never be the same
Swear if you got the chance, a couple things you'd rearrange
Heard them say they told you so
But how when you're reaping everything they told you sew?
Dying to see a change
What's safe when overcompensation is the cost of fear
Out of touch with your emotions, ultimately insecure
Product of an environment where the motives are obscure
How's the focus of a saint with only sinners as your peers, mm
Desperate for a love you never got aquainted with
All you held close feels tainted
Won't ever tell you stay dangerous, cause you may become a danger to yourself
And the day I fail to arrive in time, a major loss is felt
Yeah, yeah

Fear of missing out was always something I knew
[Verse 2]
You're the reason I'm recollecting on blessings I know I've neglected
Gave up my dreams to feed your ego, you know I regret it
Groomed in my teens, fear in my psyche for knowing I'm reckless
Lost myself, anxiety had me ignoring the message
The marionette to your Geppetto is loose
Fed up with lies, I'm livid
To live or to die, this life is nothing to lose
Tired of carrying all this weight although my back is breaking
Tired of being okay with things I'm really not okay with
Tired of reliving your first impression
My depression burned a lesson in my brain
Difficult to appreciate the sun without rain
You manipulated my frame of mind to the point if I survive, I doubt that I'll come out sane
Maybe that's just you talking
You often say I'm your first and your last love
But you were married twice with three kids, and you lost
Then met insecurities, learned what the grip of death is like
Can't confuse lust for love and then wonder why stress is life
So I pray you gain something to lose
I pray for the people that steered you wrong and then muddied your views
Life breeds change
It's a pain to grow when you run from the truth
I pray for your soul cause I know you'll die being nothing but you
Whoa

More victims of human nature in the long run
Letting go of my high hopes
Lift me up whenever I'm low
All for the peace til it's costing me
Tatted on my mind while I'm lost at sea
I know they'd rather me drown too
Feared missing out until the day I found you
[Outro]
Change the people around you if you can't change the people around you
Cause your desire to help will satisfy their need to drown you
If you're a giver, find other givers to love
Takers will only drain you cause nothing's ever enough
Escaping from a place that I never thought I'd get out of
They used to say there would be no me without us
Touched as a child
My innocence tainted, so I was stuck for a while
But no, I'm not done
