Tell my momma it's gonna be okay
I'm sorry that I had to go away
But I couldn't stay
I'm sorry that I couldn't stay
Tell my dad it's gonna be alright
I didn't wanna turn it into a fight
Just trying to survive
Hoping to get out alive
Maybe all I need is time
Just in time, time
To see what I can make of me
Leave behind what I'll never be
Shake it off like a bad dream
I have to try, I have to try
Don't take it all the wrong way
The first step might feel like I'ma run away
Don't change life, slide away
Maybe all I need it time
Tell my momma it's gonna be okay
I'm sorry that I had to go away
But I couldn't stay
I'm sorry that I couldn't stay
Tell my dad it's gonna be alright
I didn't wanna turn it into a fight
Just trying to survive
Hoping to get out alive
Maybe all I need is time
Just in time, time
There's something I need to find
Just in time, time
Tell my momma it's gonna be okay
I'm sorry that I had to go away
But I couldn't stay
I'm sorry that I couldn't stay
Tell my dad it's gonna be alright
I didn't wanna turn it into a fight
Just trying to survive
Hoping to get out alive
Maybe all I need is time
