Like I had nowhere to go
Let it show
Oooh
Running circles in my mind, it's like I have nowhere to go
Try to smile to hide the pain, cause I refuse to let it show
These might be the deepest thoughts, that I've ever sat and wrote
All my trials and tribulations, just contribute to my growth
Running circles in my mind, it's like I have nowhere to go
Try to smile to hide the pain, cause I refuse to let it show
These might be the deepest thoughts, that I've ever sat and wrote
All my trials and tribulations, just contribute to my growth
Please don't worry son, your dad is on the way to get ya
I hope you understand your momma, tried to leave me out the picture
And I promise with my guidance, that I'll form you to a winner
Yeah a gentleman at best, and taught to never be a quitter
And once you start the race, you gotta go strong to the finish
Yeah no matter win or lose, you just gotta keep building
You'll be the greatest man alive, don't let nobody tell you different
Taught to see the brighter picture, yeah the sky is the limit
I might show the toughest love, but it will only make you better
You'll be ready for whatever, never folding under pressure
Faith of a mustard seed, yeah that's something you can't measure
Always make your moves like chess, while they play a game of checkers
There's been so much on my mind, it's been hard to sleep at night
A constant battle with myself, all I know to do is fight
Mind is racing at a million, like it's never slowing down
And these sleeping pills ain't working, tossing turning til sunrise
Running circles in my mind, it's like I have nowhere to go
Try to smile to hide the pain, cause I refuse to let it show
These might be the deepest thoughts, that I've ever sat and wrote
All my trials and tribulations, just contribute to my growth
Running circles in my mind, it's like I have nowhere to go
Try to smile to hide the pain, cause I refuse to let it show
These might be the deepest thoughts, that I've ever sat and wrote
All my trials and tribulations, just contribute to my growth
I can't hide it any longer, need to get it off my chest
I just woke up one morning, and your mother up and left
Yeah she tried to take you from me, ripped my heart out my chest
Getting sick to my stomach, it's so hard to digest
Try to smile to hide the pain, but still I can't disguise it
So much hurt in my heart, that it's been so hard to hide it
All my trials and tribulations, yeah they only made me wiser
And I'm coming back better, yeah they lit a wildfire
I can't help but get higher, just to balance out the lows
Running laps in my medulla, but there's still nowhere to go
And yeah it drives me crazy, I don't get to watch you grow
But I'll be there soon I promise, make up time I was gone
And yeah it hurts the most, still ain't met you to this day
Never called when you were born, I don't even know your name
You can only have one Dad, no one could ever take my place
All I'm left with is your heartbeat, yeah I listen everyday hah
Running circles in my mind, it's like I have nowhere to go
Try to smile to hide the pain, cause I refuse to let it show
