I just finished it last night, and it sounds not bad. But the recording's not perfected, so I don't know if I should post it.
This song is important, because it marks the end of the relationship I had with Hazeem (like, the general term of relationship). It's important because, it wasn't about what we had, what I thought we had, the pain I felt or the blame I placed, what I was trying to do, moving on or how crazy it was -- how crazy I was. It was about me and how I was doing, at that point and how it really was, in honest, truthful, simple words.
It's different from my other songs because of how it's so generalized. My other songs are either too cryptic, too general or they're overflowing with details because I have so much to say and I just can't fit all of that into one song.
This was just about me, right at that moment, nothing more.

A Little
The city comes to life
And I drive right past
Feel like falling asleep
Instead of heading into the night
There’s so many lights
While I’m tryn’a keep my eyes wide
I don’t understand how the others can stay awake
We’re all a little broken
Some better than the other
I’m just a little broken
I think of you and I don’t feel so afraid
Some days they talk too much
And I take it all in
Sometimes it drives me crazy
That I’m not gonna let them hear me
Voices are just voices
And some make me feel safe
Why do I have to stay away
We’re all a little broken
Some better than the other
I’m just a little broken
I think of you and I don’t feel so afraid
They’re telling me who to be again
But maybe they do know best
They’re gonna have me feeling like crying
Wish you’re here to tell me it’ll be okay
We’re all a little broken
Some better than the other
I’m just a little broken
I think of you, I keep thinking of you
But I don’t feel so afraid
The city comes to life
And I drive right past
Feel like falling asleep
Instead of heading into the night
There’s so many lights
While I’m tryn’a keep my eyes wide
I don’t understand how the others can stay awake
We’re all a little broken
Some better than the other
I’m just a little broken
I think of you and I don’t feel so afraid
Some days they talk too much
And I take it all in
Sometimes it drives me crazy
That I’m not gonna let them hear me
Voices are just voices
And some make me feel safe
Why do I have to stay away
We’re all a little broken
Some better than the other
I’m just a little broken
I think of you and I don’t feel so afraid
They’re telling me who to be again
But maybe they do know best
They’re gonna have me feeling like crying
Wish you’re here to tell me it’ll be okay
We’re all a little broken
Some better than the other
I’m just a little broken
I think of you, I keep thinking of you
But I don’t feel so afraid
