Fireworks (Drake)
When I woke up and remembered I thought It was gonna be like twilight and a dream come true
And for once everything made sense like why id always smile and check in admiring you
I was 25 when my boyfriend left me and they asked me if anyone in the world - who?
... I said you
Now I know why too
And I don’t know how long you been watching - if even at all
Obviously not waiting but somehow I do trust you’re here for my fall
I’m not mad
Cause part of what I realized I always did
was stay humble and take the back seat for you just like a kid
Sometimes i wonder what it’d be like if I wasn’t 2nd or 3rd string and we switched
Like this is the world I live in and you live there like - fuck... and I guess that’s why they say life’s just a bitch
I never pulled my cards, and it’s not my fault if someone else did, cause most of it all is still just a blur
Now I understand the questions I answered when I was falling asleep when I heard them say - “thats her”
I remember so much now
My eyes filled with fear my heart full of trust
I never got that before so trust is a must
I need to know you’re always gonna be there
Especially when I snap and tripping and walking round talking to myself singing Beware
My dad says it’s too late
While I’m still sitting here just trying to eye fate
While trying to figure whats the rest of it all and why I woke up so late
My mom and gma think my worst nightmare ever since is my dream
Then i think back to april 27th my second day all by my self
You can’t understand why it will never be because and how it all seem
When I awoke being flipped in my bed and dropped by air
I grabbed my ring and bday outfit and ran straight for my mom, stole a lex, woke up and then walked it out all alone right there
When I finally got home I pretended to throw bottles in your studio
Pulled you close to me by your cross and kissed you one last time
... before watching you go
It was you I always imagined there not until that day it all just clicked did it ever make sense
And I dont wanna say too much but the night of the fire works it was just beyond intense
I can still walk to that exact spot we picked and giggle when i remember what a denim skirt on a couch do
And every other memory that make me smile when I remember you
It was all black when the defrib hit and then a dream they were slashing my throat waterboarding me cause I was gurgling blood - the fireworks then would go off with a memory or two then I’d black out again as dead as a piece of that wood - then I’d see all black, like a scene change, just like a movie would
(Fireworks go off in December to remind me
Fire works - that’s all it is and that’s all it’s gonna be)
