Can't Change Me. ( Backstreet)

Lyrics

[Intro)

(Yeah…)
Backstreet fuck boi…
Cold heart, slow ride… (slow ride)
She keep tellin’ me change…
But this all I know… (all I know)
Woo…

Verse 1

My lil’ shorty hold me close when the night get rough (rough)
Say she scared one day that the streets gon’ take me up (take me up)
Tears in her eyes while she clutch my chain tight (tight)
Beggin’ me to slow down, stop livin’ this life (this life)
But she met me in the dark where the pain still live (pain still live)
Late-night drives with revenge in my ribs (ribs)
I got scars in my soul I don’t talk about much (nah)
Only thing I ever trusted was the hustle and us (facts)
She say, “Baby, you too numb, you too gone” (gone)
But the streets raised me cold, that’s my home (my home)
I kiss her forehead while the blunt smoke rise (rise)
Knowin’ deep down I can’t change if I tried (woo)

Chorus 1

She don’t wanna lose me… (lose me)
Every night she pray I move differently (differently)
But if she only knew what the pain done made (made)
She’d understand why I can’t change me (nah)
She hold onto me… (onto me)
Like love gon’ save my soul from the streets (streets)
But this life too deep in my blood now (blood now)
I can’t be what she need (yeah)

Verse 2

Rain fall slow on the windshield glass (glass)
She ridin’ shotgun while I drift too fast (skrrt)
Say she miss the version of me that laugh more (laugh more)
Before the cold nights and the kicked-down doors (doors)
I tell her, “Baby, I’m tryin’, don’t think I ain’t” (ain’t)
But demons in my chest keep pullin’ my chain (my chain)
Every loss made my heart freeze harder (harder)
Now I move through life like a loaded revolver (woo)
She hate when I leave late-night and disappear (disappear)
Say she overthinks every time I ain’t here (facts)
But the money and the pressure got me trapped in routines (routines)
And I been this way since a teen (yeah)

Chorus 2

She don’t wanna lose me… (lose me)
Say she see the darkness usin’ me (usin’ me)
Every time she cry, I look away slow (slow)
Cause I know I can’t be clean (nah)
She keep lovin’ on me… (lovin’ on me)
Even when my soul too cold to speak (cold to speak)
If she only knew this pain too deep (too deep)
She’d know I can’t leave the streets (woo)

Verse 3

Late-night smoke while she sleep on my chest (my chest)
I stare at the ceiling, can’t get no rest (rest)
Thinkin’ ‘bout the things that I never confessed (never confessed)
All the guilt and rage I suppress (yeah)
She deserve sunsets and peace on the beach (beach)
Not a man with trauma he hide underneath (underneath)
But she fell for the danger mixed with my calm (calm)
Now she hold me tighter every time there’s storms (storms)
She say my eyes changed, they colder than before (before)
Like I don’t even open up no more (nah)
Truth is I been broken way too long inside (inside)
I just learned how to cover it with pride (woo)

Chorus 3

She don’t wanna lose me… (lose me)
Wanna save me from my history (history)
But every scar made me who I am (who I am)
Ain’t no switchin’ what’s in me (facts)
She still ride for me… (ride for me)
Even when I’m hard to love completely (completely)
But this life and pain got roots too deep (too deep)
I can’t change easily (nah)

Verse 4

Sunrise creepin’ through the hotel blinds (blinds)
She look beautiful while she peacefully lie (peacefully lie)
And for a second I wish I was different (different)
Wish I could give her the life she envision (vision)
But I’m too far gone from the roads I crossed (roads I crossed)
Too many people, too many losses (losses)
Still I kiss her soft before I hit the door (door)
Knowin’ she gon’ beg me one more time for more (more)
And maybe one day I’ll learn to heal right (heal right)
Maybe one day I’ll sleep through the night (night)
But right now I’m still who the streets made me (streets made me)
And that’s somethin’ she gotta see (yeah…)

[Chorus 4 / Outro)

She don’t wanna lose me… (lose me)
Still hold my hand through the misery (misery)
But if she only knew the war in me (war in me)
She’d know why I can’t change completely (nah)
She keep prayin’ for me… (prayin’ for me)
Hopin’ love gon’ bring peace to me (peace to me)
But E-minor nights still haunt my soul (my soul)
And I can’t escape me… (yeah…)
