Yeah look uh
We weren't friends but I saw you everyday
Played ball a couple times
But you were just another face
I would see you in the halls
We would go our separate ways
I never understood the saying
Now he's in a better place
Look honestly you seem to be living nice
Popular jock type who would always give advice
The ladies man on campus women called you Mr Right
Never even said a word to each other
We had different lives
Look I was gripping mic's
He was gripping basketballs
Even did well in school every test
You passed 'em all
Running for president too
Had your face on half the walls
Popularity through the roof
You seemed to have it all
Look I guess it's true
Me and you were polar opposites
Never gave a shit about school that's just preposterous
You on the other hand probably coulda' got a scholarship
Everything happens for a reason but boy I'm not convinced
I'm alive but I'm barely breathing
What's the reason
What's the reason
I was up and now I'm down
I'm all cried out
I'm alive but I'm barely breathing
What's the reason
What's the reason
I was up and now I'm down
I'm all cried out
No date didn't go to homecoming
We stayed at home puffing
Blow with ya homies cussin'
Unaware of something that was about to happen
So you kept pre-gaming and kept sipping on captain
Like living life laughing in the driveway somewhere backed in
You hopped in the whip with the music loud blasting
And I bet that y'all were having fun
'Cause you didn't realize
You were speeding 20 over and ignoring all the street signs
Just some teens who were living life perfect
In the car swerving with a couple joints burning
Driving past curfew so the kids were getting nervous
Breaking all the rules doing things that wasn't worth it
It's kinda sad all you made was one mistake
But I guess thats all it takes
To keep everyone awake
You were only 17 you were only just my age
Flipped to the news that night
And saw your car in the lake
Like
I'm alive but I'm barely breathing
What's the reason
What's the reason
I was up and now I'm down
I'm all cried out
I'm alive but I'm barely breathing
What's the reason
What's the reason
I was up and now I'm down
I'm all cried out
