[Verse 1 : Daniel Caesar]

You are the reason

The reason I sing

I have to preserve you

'Cause you're my everything

Babe I know I f**ked up

f**ked with some empty cups

But you got your friends too

Better believe in it

Truth I'm up on my luck

Can't stop running amok

But you got your friends too



[Chorus : Daniel Caesar]

I just want to thank you for saving my life, Yes

I just want to thank you for all your advice



[Verse 2 : Daniel Caesar]

You are the reason, the reason I'm alive

I must bring you honour

If I don't, I'll die

Ma', I know I brought shame

Put a mark on your name

But you got your thangs too, better believe it I'm

Rising up from the flames

The phoenix that I became

But you got your thangs too

Oh, help me sing



[Chorus : Daniel Caesar & Choir]

I just want to thank you for giving me life yes

I just want to thank you for all your advice



[Bridge : Choir & Daniel Caesar]

Send me kisses when it's grey skies

Its been so long, look how time flies

If you love me won't you let me know

I've been trying to learn let you go

Call my name whenever tears fall

When you face your fears you stand tall, oohh, ooohh

Send me kisses when it's grey skies

(can't you see...)

Its been so long, look how time flies

(I'm spending all...)

If you love me won't you let me know

(...This time)

I've been trying to learn let you go

Call my name whenever tears fall

(Come with me)

When you face your fears you stand tall, oohh

(I hope we can...)

Ooohh

(...Rewind)



[Verse 3 : Daniel Caesar]

Know I'd take a bullet for you

No you don't know what I go through

And I know you think you're kind of nice

Do you remember when I saved your life?

Don't come at me on some weak shit

It's time you stopped displaying weakness, ooh, ohh



[Skit: Sean Leon]

Hey mama

It's your second son, still the same, ain't changed momma

Made some change

Times have changed on me

Times have changed (minds have changed)

And mine feels strange mama

I feel ashamed (what could I say to you face to face with my fate, I lost my faith)

Face to face with my fate momma, I lost my faith



[Silent Interlude]



[Outro : Daniel Caesar]

Isn't it nice

Human sacrifice

The universe got it

I got too excited

And now we're taking life

Isn't it nice

Human sacrifice

I hate consequences, that shit's too expensive

You keep chasing delight

Isn't it nice

Human sacrifice

I take the easy way out every time

Don't deserve my own life

Isn't it nice

Human sacrifice oh yes

They say I'm a martyr

Charge that to my ego

I just want all the lights
