I DON’T EXPLAIN MYSELF (REMIX)10/15

harrygotbeats

 

[Intro – 0:00–0:14]

(Yeah, yeah...)

I used to talk just to be understood,

Now I let the silence say what it should.

They can believe whatever they wanna believe,

I know who I am, that's enough for me.

(Uh, listen...)

 

[Verse 1 – 0:14–0:45]

I don't owe nobody reasons for the way I live,

Been giving out my heart, ain't got much left to give.

They only see the surface, never notice all the scars,

Never saw the lonely nights I spent beneath the stars.

Everybody got opinions, everybody got a view,

Funny how they judge a life they never even knew.

I was fighting with my demons, tryna make it through the rain,

Now they wanna hear my story just to question all my pain.

I ain't bitter, I'm just better at protecting all my peace,

Had to cut a couple ties just to finally breathe.

If my silence makes you nervous, that's a problem you can keep,

I been building up a kingdom while the whole world's asleep.

 

[Chorus – 0:45–1:07]

I don't explain myself, no more,

I ain't who I was before.

Let 'em talk, let 'em assume,

I found my peace inside this room.

I don't explain myself, I'm free,

Don't need the world believing me.

You can say what you wanna say,

I'm still gonna be me anyway.

(Oh-oh, anyway...)

 

[Verse 2 – 1:07–1:38]

I learned a couple lessons from the people that I trusted,

Some friendships turned to ashes, some promises got busted.

I used to chase approval like a paycheck overdue,

Till I realized their acceptance couldn't make my dreams come true.

I ain't gotta prove my worth to somebody keeping score,

I been rich in all the ways that money can't afford.

Got a soul full of stories, got a heart that's been repaired,

Had to learn the hard way not everybody really cared.

Now I'm walking with a purpose, moving different than before,

I don't argue with the people who ain't knocking at my door.

Let 'em paint me as the villain if it helps 'em sleep at night,

I ain't gotta win the argument to know that I was right.

 

[Chorus – 1:38–2:00]

I don't explain myself, no more,

I ain't who I was before.

Let 'em talk, let 'em assume,

I found my peace inside this room.

I don't explain myself, I'm free,

Don't need the world believing me.

You can say what you wanna say,

I'm still gonna be me anyway.

(Oh-oh, anyway...)

 

[Bridge – 2:00–2:17]

(Smooth soulful vocals)

I let the rain fall, let the wind blow,

Some things in life they ain't supposed to know.

I lost some people, but I found my soul,

Stopped chasing love I couldn't control.

If you don't understand, that's alright,

I made my peace with the lonely nights.

No more defending the road I chose,

Some chapters close, and that's how it goes.

 

[Outro – 2:17–2:30]

(Yeah... mm-mm...)

I don't explain myself, I just grow,

Some things you feel, some things you know.

You heard the rumors, but you don't know me,

I'm not the version that you chose to see.

I don't explain myself...

I let my life speak for me.

(Yeah... let it breathe...)
