Street Wolf. ( Backstreet)

Lyrics

Intro

(Yeah…)
Slow pain… cold nights…
Backstreet…
You can’t love a street wolf… (street wolf)
And expect him to be sweet… nah…
Woo…

[Verse 1 )

You fell in love with the darkness in me (in me)
Late-night soul with a heart empty (heart empty)
Backstreet pain in my bloodstream deep (deep)
Street wolf habits hard to unlearn, keep (keep)
She say she want the softer side I hide (I hide)
But survival made me cold inside (cold inside)
Raised where love came mixed with scars and fear (scars and fear)
That’s why I move distant when you near (woo)
I ain’t mean to hurt you, that’s the truth (the truth)
But the streets raised me ruthless too (ruthless too)
Can’t tame pain that been alive for years (alive for years)
Can’t wash away all these tears (yeah)

Chorus 1

You can’t love a street wolf… (street wolf)
And expect him to move sweet (move sweet)
Too much pain inside his soul (inside his soul)
Too many nights in these streets (woo)
You can’t love a street wolf… (street wolf)
And expect his heart stay pure (heart stay pure)
Backstreet blood too cold now (too cold now)
This pain changed me for sure (yeah)

Verse 2

Palm trees sway while I creep downtown (downtown)
She hold my hand while my thoughts break down (break down)
Tell me “Baby, let your guard down slow” (down slow)
But she don’t know what the darkness know (woo)
Every betrayal carved scars in my chest (my chest)
Every fake love left emotional wrecks (wrecks)
Now I stare out windows numb and quiet (quiet)
Fightin’ demons every night in silence (facts)
She deserve flowers and peaceful days (peaceful days)
Not a soul filled up with rage (with rage)
But she still stay when the storm clouds near (storm clouds near)
Love me through every fear (yeah)

Chorus 2

You can’t love a street wolf… (street wolf)
And expect him not to roam (not to roam)
Too many nights survivin’ pain (survivin’ pain)
Made the darkness feel like home (woo)
You can’t love a street wolf… (street wolf)
And expect him not to bite (not to bite)
A-minor scars made him distant (made him distant)
Now he fight through every night (yeah)

Verse 3

Rain hit slow on the windshield glass (windshield glass)
Thinkin’ how my whole life passed (life passed)
From cold apartments to dangerous roads (dangerous roads)
Every lesson made my heart grow froze (heart grow froze)
She kiss my face say she see good still (good still)
Say my soul worth more than pain I feel (pain I feel)
But she don’t hear what my demons say (demons say)
Every night when I drift away (woo)
I try to love right, I really do (really do)
But survival instincts cut straight through (straight through)
Street wolf blood got me movin’ strange (movin’ strange)
And deep down I can’t change (nah)

Chorus 3

You can’t love a street wolf… (street wolf)
And expect peace all the time (all the time)
Too much chaos raised this soul (raised this soul)
Too much darkness in his mind (woo)
You can’t love a street wolf… (street wolf)
And expect him not to stray (not to stray)
Backstreet nights made him heartless (made him heartless)
In too many ways (yeah)

Verse 4

Now the moonlight hit while she sleep on me (sleep on me)
And I wonder why she still believe in me (believe in me)
Cause I know the monster I became (I became)
From all this hurt and all this pain (woo)
Still she whisper “Baby, don’t give up” (don’t give up)
Hold me tight when life too rough (life too rough)
Maybe one day I’ll heal for real (heal for real)
Maybe one day this heart will feel (facts)
But right now I’m still that wolf at night (wolf at night)
Still survive through every fight (every fight)
Backstreet soul with scars too deep (scars too deep)
You can love me… but I ain’t sweet (yeah)

[Chorus 4 / Outro)

You can’t love a street wolf… (street wolf)
And expect him not to bleed (not to bleed)
Every scar changed how he love (how he love)
Every loss shaped what he be (woo)
You can’t love a street wolf… (street wolf)
And expect him soft inside (soft inside)
A-minor nights made him savage (made him savage)
Still howlin’ through the night… (yeah…)
