lirik lagu emtizzy - i wasn't there
[chorus]
two lives, one lie, but im too late
two lives, one lie, but im too late
too late, too late, too late
two lives, one lie, and im too late
two lives, one lie, and im too late
too late, too late, too late
[verse]
sixteen, sittin’ in silence, found a photo in a drawer
two kids, same smile — but one of them ain’t me, for sure
mom been cryin’, sayin’ “truth got t~~th,” and now i see the bite
he got two homes, two phones, two lives he live at night
i followed him one time — shadow in my hoodie
saw him kiss a woman that ain’t momma, thought he wouldn’t
saw a stroller in the trunk, lil’ shoes on the floor
he built another life and left us one behind the door
he said he’d call back, but now i know what “busy” mean
he taught me not to lie, then lied and shattered everything
my brother’s only five, he think the world still pure
i wipe his nose, pack his lunch, pretend i’m still secure
i been writin’ letters i don’t plan to ever send
prayin’ karma don’t hit me for the sins of my next of kin
taught myself to walk like him, talk like him, now i’m scared
what if i become him too? what if all i do is tear?
tears don’t make a man, but i’m drownin’ in mine
tryna piece a future outta lies he left behind
he ain’t dead — but it feel like grief still crawlin’
and i ain’t call him “dad” since the day i stopped callin’
f~ck his legacy — i’m tryna build a better script
but every chapter feel like pain that never skips
swallowed pride so long, my stomach full of rust
i spit the blood in bars and hope my pain’ll earn me trust
[chorus]
two lives, one lie, but im too late
two lives, one lie, but im too late
too late, too late, too late
two lives, one lie, and im too late
two lives, one lie, and im too late
too late, too late, too late
[verse]
i knew the nights he stayed out late were more than overtime
lipstick on the collar, lies wrapped in cheaper wine
but i smiled for the kids, cooked meals through the ache
played house in a home he only used to take
i gave him years, gave him youth, gave him chances he ain’t earn
watched my baby ask “where’s dad?” with a fire that still burns
saw the storm comin’, still prayed the sky would clear
but love don’t fix a man who ain’t meant to be here
i held two jobs, cried in secret in the shower
taped the mirror where i used to see my power
my son grew up too fast, tryna fill some grown shoes
while i stitched up my heart with thread he’d just abuse
i ain’t bitter — just tired, just done bein’ strong
every “sorry” he gave felt like a recycled song
but i still pack lunches, still teach ’em to forgive
’cause i don’t want my pain to be the way they learn to live
[chorus]
two lives, one lie, but im too late
two lives, one lie, but im too late
too late, too late, too late
two lives, one lie, and im too late
two lives, one lie, and im too late
too late, too late, too late
[verse]
i ain’t ask to be a liar — just thought i had time
built two lives like lego sets, but dropped both lines
told myself, “i’ll fix it,” every night i left the house
but lies stack fast when truth too scared to come out
i watched my son grow through a screen, face dimmed
a stranger to the man he was supposed to learn from — him
left his mom with the weight i swore i’d help lift
she was loyal through the flames, i was cold with the drift
i swear i ain’t mean to break what i helped create
i was chasin’ youth, scared of a middle~aged fate
had a crib on the side, called it “just for a while”
but years passed quick, and i missed his first smile
heard he’s sixteen now, voice sound like mine
every missed call like a clock i can’t rewind
i drink more now — not to feel, just to numb
tried to write a letter, but the words wouldn’t come
if he hate me, i get it — i hate me too
every night i dream of bein’ the man i never grew into
i ain’t ask for forgiveness, just a second to feel
that maybe one day, he’ll know my guilt is real
one house got my name, the other got my face
now both got my absence and both feel replaced
i called it love — maybe it was cowardice instead
and i gave you my blood, but not my breath
