CRESCENT MOON

[Intro]

Jasmine Ave (Yeah)

Sweet morning dew (Heavy one, heavy one, heavy one)

(EMRLD)

You said you'd be in my arms

By the next (Heavy one) crescent moon (Heavy one)

[Verse 1]

My immaturity created monsters

To any girl that I hurt, hope you feel the guilt when you hear this verse

Been wearin' it on my sleeve, see the hurt through the shirt

Lust got the best of me, couldn't focus on your worth

Didn't sympathize with your cries, you was tired

I was blind tryna find peace in the person that I was

Instеad of tryna grow into the man God designed

Bloomеd a lil' late, but pray for divine timin'

But by that time, damage already done

A jail of hurt, wish that I can pay the bond

Resent me now, after you is where I run

Ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun

Manipulator, misogynistic, narcissistic

I'm put in that statistic, but wasn't my intentions

Life came at a baby boy so fast

I was sixteen with the world in my hands

[Bridge]

You said you'd be in my arms

By the next crescent moon

[Verse 2]

Marissa, I apologize how I handled your heart

Pourin' into a boy, I was far from a man

Hurt me deeply seein' you bein' so good to me

Deep down, knew that I was takin' you for granted

Unappreciative, that was me self-sabotagin'

Feelin' like you deserved a better me

I walked away from you tryna heal me

And left you stranded in a broken home while you was goin' through your pregnancy

Made a promise that I'd be back to you in no time

Along that journey, I had came to realize

I wasn't ready to be the man that you had fantasized

After I promised to be the man that you fantasized

Took my hands then strangled the soul tie

In them nine months, I was probably there nine times

Promised you a wedding, you ain't get to see a wedding gown

Hope you see a better version of me in my own child

I know your background, pops was in jail (You said you'd be in my arms)

Mama still an addict, you never had a family (By the next crescent moon)

Your home was abandoned, that was your chance to fix your curse

That's the part of the story that make it worse

My upbringin' significant to this situation

But I'ma save it 'cause this an apology and accountability letter that I owed you

And it's been long awaited

And I hope you get it and then appreciate it

From this point, movin' forward, under oath, Marissa

Swear to fix the void, my actions viewed by the Lord

If I slip up, punish me by the sword

Can't fix the past, but today, let's move forward

Identified my crisis while I was tryna get righteous (You said you'd be in my arms)

So all my wrongs I'm writin' while also chasin' enlightenment (By the next crescent moon)

I know my love was silent, somewhere my heart had went violent

Let's put the past behind us, forgiveness, I hope you find it

Genuinely apologize for real

[Outro]

Jasmine Ave

Sweet morning dew (Heavy one)

You said you'd be in my arms (I apologize to anyone I ever hurt)

By the next crescent moon (Any monsters I created, I apologize for real)

It's some promises I kept

But the ones I didn't keep, them be the ones that hurt the most

Sorry
