Boundaries Lyrics

[Intro]
Uh, yeah
Uh, yeah
Uh
Nobody said it was gon' be easy
I look up

[Chorus]
I gotta start settin' boundaries
'Cause everybody want a part of me, now I'm a piece of me
Been dealin' with the part of me that people hardly see
I gotta fall back and just get organized
Soak off in the sun rays and get fortified
I gotta start back wakin' up early mornin' time
I gotta feed my soul, 'cause it's cryin' out
I gotta execute, no more tryin' now

[Verse]
I could tell you I'm doin' well, but it's dryin' out
I gotta pour back into the things that make me smile
I see the world on fire when I step out the house
I gotta pay attеntion to everythin' I'm puttin' out
No more sеtbacks, it's time for the get-backs
Killed my old habits dead, somehow they crept back
Made it from the underground, they wishin' I'd trip back
Wan' bury me alive, but I thrive in the pitch-black
My favorite question I used to ask is "God, why me?"
But God don't give what you want, God give you what you need
You don't regret havin' a child, but havin' it with him?
Until you have miscarriages and realize giving birth's the most magical thing
And we don't choose them, they choose us as worthy beings
Understand your word's like a double-edge sword
So when you cut things off (Off)
A little bit of blood on that blade just might be yours
Remember, time ain't runnin' out, life just runnin' its course
And life ain't life if it's feelin' forced
[Chorus]
That's why I gotta start settin' boundaries
'Cause everybody want a part of me, now I'm a piece of me
Been dealin' with the part of me that people hardly see
I gotta fall back and just get organized
Soak off in the sun rays and get fortified
I gotta start back wakin' up early mornin' time
I gotta feed my soul, 'cause it's cryin' out
I gotta execute, no more tryin' now
