[Verse 1 : Daniel Caesar]
You are the reason
The reason I sing
I have to preserve you
'Cause you're my everything
Babe I know I f*cked up
f*cked with some empty cups
But you got your friends too
Better believe in it
Truth I'm up on my luck
Can't stop running amok
But you got your friends too
[Chorus : Daniel Caesar]
I just want to thank you for saving my life, Yes
I just want to thank you for all your advice
[Verse 2 : Daniel Caesar]
You are the reason, the reason I'm alive
I must bring you honour
If I don't, I'll die
Ma', I know I brought shame
Put a mark on your name
But you got your thangs too, better believe it I'm
Rising up from the flames
The phoenix that I became
But you got your thangs too
Oh, help me sing
[Chorus : Daniel Caesar & Choir]
I just want to thank you for giving me life yes
I just want to thank you for all your advice
[Bridge : Choir & Daniel Caesar]
Send me kisses when it's grey skies
Its been so long, look how time flies
If you love me won't you let me know
I've been trying to learn let you go
Call my name whenever tears fall
When you face your fears you stand tall, oohh, ooohh
Send me kisses when it's grey skies
(can't you see...)
Its been so long, look how time flies
(I'm spending all...)
If you love me won't you let me know
(...This time)
I've been trying to learn let you go
Call my name whenever tears fall
(Come with me)
When you face your fears you stand tall, oohh
(I hope we can...)
Ooohh
(...Rewind)
[Verse 3 : Daniel Caesar]
Know I'd take a bullet for you
No you don't know what I go through
And I know you think you're kind of nice
Do you remember when I saved your life?
Don't come at me on some weak shit
It's time you stopped displaying weakness, ooh, ohh
[Skit: Sean Leon]
Hey mama
It's your second son, still the same, ain't changed momma
Made some change
Times have changed on me
Times have changed (minds have changed)
And mine feels strange mama
I feel ashamed (what could I say to you face to face with my fate, I lost my faith)
Face to face with my fate momma, I lost my faith
[Silent Interlude]
[Outro : Daniel Caesar]
Isn't it nice
Human sacrifice
The universe got it
I got too excited
And now we're taking life
Isn't it nice
Human sacrifice
I hate consequences, that shit's too expensive
You keep chasing delight
Isn't it nice
Human sacrifice
I take the easy way out every time
Don't deserve my own life
Isn't it nice
Human sacrifice oh yes
They say I'm a martyr
Charge that to my ego
I just want all the lights
