Waking up, half-past five
Blood on pillow and one bruised eye
Drunk too much, you know what I'm like
But you shoulda seen the other guy
This ain't the right time for you to fall in love with me
Well, baby, I'm just being honest
And I know my lies could not make you believe
We're running in circles, that's why
In my dark time, I'll be going back to the street
Promising everything I do not mean
In my dark time, baby, this is all I could be
And only my mother can love me for me
In my dark time
In my dark time
Light one up, let me bum a smoke, uh
Still coming down, dripping throat, uh
I got another man's blood on my clothes
But it ain't his fault, it's the life I chose
This ain't the right time for you to fall in love with me
My baby, I'm just being honest, uh
And I know my lies could never make you believe
Running in circles, that's why
In my dark times, I'll be going back to these streets
Promising everything I do not mean
In my dark times, maybe this is all I could be
Only my mother could love me for me
In my dark times
In my dark times
In my dark times, I've still got some problems, I know
Drivin' too fast but just movin' too slow
And I've got something I've been trying to let go of
Pullin' me back every time
In my dark times, taking it back to the street
Making those promises that I could not keep
In my dark times, baby, this is all I could be
Only my mother could love me for me
In my dark time, taking it down to the street
Making those promises that I would never keep
In my dark time, this is all I could be
Only my mother could love me for me
In my dark times
In my dark time
In my dark times
