Lyrics

Focused

It's been a while now
Since I've spoken to you last
But you're still my best friend
We can change, can't change the past

And I still remember
When you had bad pot laced with blow
Thought you were losing your feet and
Couldn't move, had your dad take you home

I am trying to stay focused
I am trying to stay focused
I am trying to stay focused
I am trying to stay

Your new city
Treats you well, never did you harm
He was a deadbeat
I'm glad you got out, I'm glad that you moved on

And I still remember
What you went through when we were sixteen
You explained it to me then but
A few years later I felt what you mean

I am trying to stay focused
I am trying to stay focused
I am trying to stay focused
I am trying to stay
