Love is a reward, do you get what I'm saying
You being in love with a woman, she make you feel like you got a million pound
You ain't even got one pound yet, do you get what I'm saying
And it's important to focus on your dream now
You don't get a second time around to be 21 or to be 18
Or to sign that pro contract at 18 or to release the music when they wanna hear you
Or to be a boxer, so just go hard now

Retrospect, thinking back on simpler times
Why would I pay pennies for thoughts when it costs enough peace just sitting with mine
Smile and wave, hide the pain in my eyes, got strife in my veins, my life's so rife
Too much sin in my life, taking tolls on my mind, now I'm sitting on fines

All this talk bout how we went wrong and the wrong we've done
Cause the course of events going to switch up every other time that the story's spun
The fact that it's just your turn will hit you in the chest like a bullet from a gun
But deep down you know you still want it to last even though you know you're not the only one
Out here everyone aims for the heart
Keep it below your head and please don't wear your vest low
Good while it lasted but good never lasts
Really should've known standing alone was my best pose
Mission been compromised, time to abort, another rebound gone bad, bet you're hoping the next won't
Taking a toll that's to easy to see, every break leaves your nature a little less exposed
Truth be told, I would've had you till the casket dropped till my heartbeat stopped
And I would've held you and treasured the memories for life if yours were the first to
And that's on God, you could've reached in my back and pulled out my heart and spine
And the worst part is after all that crap, I still would've backed you and kept it on lock
You can't deny that, so this is how it feels to have your heart on the rocks
How do you define that, I call it treason but I think we both know it's your loss
Cause I moved on, talking is cheap so I'd rather push on ahead with the deficit
But you left a void I still feel I don't want to maintain it
But I guess that's what I get for living in

Retrospect, thinking back on simpler times
Why would I pay pennies for thoughts when it costs enough peace just sitting with mine
Smile and wave, hide the pain in my eyes, got strife in my veins, my life's so rife
Too much sin in my life, taking tolls on my mind, now I'm sitting on fines

As time goes on, we retrace our steps, rearrange events and eventually see our wrongs
Cause we're older now with maturer perspectives and aims but at what cost
Could talk it through but what's the point of dwelling on love we've lost
Leaving dimmer ambitions and false intuition all thrown in the mix with the towels we toss
Surveying burnt bridges, wondering why I never tried to repair them
Conscience rearing, but I didn't hear it, any emotions I impaired them
We've both got inflatable senses of pride, but we turn to rats when the ship is sinking
We drop all we've got for self-preservation. cut losses readily then jump off
So I burn all of it down like an arsonist in the midst of the blaze but I'm calm with it
I'm a slave to my pride I'm a narcissist, cos I'd rather lose you than the argument
That's a flaw and I beg you to pardon it, but that's honestly only a part of it
Soul's tired, ain't got no more heart to give;,dodging arrows from Cupid and Artemis
Maybe I'm just a sucker for closure cos I'd rather lose you than lose my composure
Cry if you need but I can't lend a shoulder, I can't bear to see the tears rolling like boulders
We all want the life of the party but what's your life like when that party is over
We all want to be off our faces in love but what if some people are made to be sober

Retrospect, thinking back on simpler times
Why would I pay pennies for thoughts when it costs enough peace just sitting with mine
Smile and wave, hide the pain in my eyes, got strife in my veins, my life's so rife
Too much sin in my life, taking tolls on my mind, now I'm sitting on fines
