## Lyrics

I'm soaring' up in the sky, girl I don't meed you

I'm feeling desensitized, I hope I come to

I see the look in your eyes when I say come through

Yeah everything I despise, this end is overdue

Heartless baby, I get sick when I'm around you

My life's a movie, hope you get to see the previews

Snapping pictures when I'm rolling down the avenue

She acting viscous, better give her that gorilla glue

So fuck love, don't want none

I close my eyes while gripping tighter onto my gun

So fuck trust, never needed some

Only need my funds

All these girls are on the run

Just stay heartless

There's no other way to be

Act like it’s harmless

All you care about is me

Don't believe that

You will see, sooner or later (Sooner or later)

Remember when we felt like time had stopped

You'd find new ways to make sure my heart dropped

Said you wanted forever

But forever was just a while

I gave her a whole chapter in my life

But I was a page in hers

Just stay heartless

There's no other way to be

Act like it’s harmless

All you care about is me

Don't believe that

You will see, sooner or later (Yeah, sooner or later)

Yeah, yeah

Sooner or later, this was all gonna end

‘Cause when you say you love me, I can tell that it’s pretend

But she been rockin' with me just like she my OnlyFan

I knew that is was over when I saw her Instagram (Yeah)

5’7”, on the money 6’2”

Had to let it go, cause there ain’t nothin I could stick too

Brodie wipe yo nose, so you might just need a tissue

Pop out on the low, yea we poppin, what’s the issue?

Money solving none of my problems, I thought it would

Yeah we had our moments, but it's probably for the good (It’s for the good)

Gimme brain brain like we in school

She got name brand she ain’t that cool

Just stay heartless

There's no other way to be

Act like it’s harmless

All you care about is me

Don't believe that

You will see, sooner or later (Sooner or later)

## Lyrics

Cinnamon whiskey

I know that you’ll miss me, baby

Put on a show

That we won't watch

And drown it out

Tell me now, honey

That you really love me today

We're in my bed

Drunk, I'm a mess

No one's around

Even on the worst of nights

I'm still the one you choose

And even when there's distance

I will never move from you

I never thought I'd see the day

Where every sky is shining bright beyond the grey

I never thought I'd win the fight

Against myself but I found love and it's alright

Driving down Moseman

We could stay frozen, baby

No one take

This time from us

To be ourselves

And even on the worst of days

I know you'll always stay

And even when it's hard, you know

I'll never run away

I never thought I'd see the day

Where every sky is shining bright beyond the grey

I never thought I'd win the fight

Against myself but I found love and it's alright

I look up and see it in your eyes

You ask what’s on my mind

And and I can't help but smile

'Cause

I never thought I'd see the day

Where every sky is shining bright beyond the grey

I never thought I'd win the fight

Against myself but I found love and it's alright

I never thought I'd find a time

Where I could yell out to the world that you are mine

I never thought I'd feel this light

Without the words of all the liars, yeah we're alright

We met last year

It was so different

And I didn’t know what to expect

And we talked and got closer

Traded our secrets for some laughs

Then I caught feelings

I hate that it’s this way

I just want to be friends

But I can’t

And now it’s over obsessing with where you are

And who you’re with

And why I’m not there

And it sucks ‘cause there’s nothing I can do

It sucks ‘cause you’re my best friend

It sucks ‘cause you don’t feel the same way

And it sucks that I’m alone

Ooh-oh-oh

Oh

Ooh-oh-oh

Oh

It’s been so long

And I can’t help it

But I want to know how to move on

‘Cause I know it won’t work out

And I need an escape

And I‘m so helpless

I hate that it’s this way

I just want to be friends

But I can’t

And now it’s over obsessing with where you are

And who you’re with

And why I’m not there

And it sucks ‘cause there’s nothing I can do

It sucks ‘cause you’re my best friend

It sucks ‘cause you don’t feel the same way

And it sucks that I’m alone

Ooh-oh-oh

Oh

Ooh-oh-oh

Oh

Tell me what you see in him

‘Cause I can bet that I’ll do it better

Tell me all your hopes and dreams

I’ll get you there if you stay forever

I’m not obsessed

I just want you for myself

I’m not upset

I just know that you’re the one

I love you

And you love him

We’re all alone

No one wins

I’m tired of us going back and forth

I always have to hear his name

Come out your mouth

It’s all the same

It’s sad, I’m mad

I just feel so tangled

In our sick and twisted love triangle

Tell me how you don’t notice

That I just can’t stop thinking about you

Tell me who you want to be

I promise that I‘ll be there for you

And I’m not obsessed

I just want you for myself

I’m not upset

I just know that you’re the one

I love you

And you love him

We’re all alone

No one wins

I’m tired of us going back and forth

I always have to hear his name

Come out your mouth

It’s all the same

It’s sad, I’m mad

I just feel so tangled

In our sick and twisted love triangle

Get him out of the picture

I miss you

Come back to me

Don’t go with him

I thought I could move on

But I just can’t, no

No I just can’t

I love you

And you love him

We’re all alone

No one wins

I’m tired of us going back and forth

I always have to hear his name

Come out your mouth

It’s all the same

It’s sad, I’m mad

I just feel so tangled

In our sick and twisted love triangle

## Lyrics

### Album Version

So can we go slowly?

I see that you’re into me

That’s something new

And I feel like there might be something here

With me and you

And you’re cute and you’re sweet

And you make me laugh

And that’s all great

But when I fall

I go insane

I’m too vulnerable right now

I might crack if I hit the ground

If I fall for you

I lose me

So can we go slowly?

So can we go slowly?

I’m feeling crazy now

That’s something new

And I feel like I might try and see

If you like me too

And you’re cute and you’re sweet

And you make me laugh

And that’s all great

But when I fall

I go insane

I’m too vulnerable right now

I might crack if I hit the ground

If I fall for you

I lose me

So can we go slowly?

So can we go slowly?

‘Cause I don’t wanna mess this up

I’m scared I’ll ruin what this was

I’ve already hurt so much

I’m trying not to fall in love

And I feel like there might be something here

With me and you

And you’re cute and you’re sweet

And you make me laugh

And that’s all great

But when I fall

That's not the same

I’m too vulnerable right now

I might crack if I hit the ground

If I fall for you

I lose me

So can we go slowly?

So can we go slowly?

So can we go slowly?

Until you’ve gained my trust

So can we go slowly?

Until it hurts too much

### Original Lyrics

I see that you’re into me

That’s something new

And I feel like there might be something here

With me and you

And you’re cute and you’re sweet

And you make me laugh

And that’s all great

But when I fall

That's not the same

I'm sorry that I'm holding back

But I need time

The last time I was this in love

I was dying

You are just so beautiful

No I ain't lying

But I can't get hurt again this time

I'm sorry you're waiting around

Just give me time

I promise when I come around

We'll be fine

You are just so beautiful

No I ain't lying

But I can't get hurt again this time

## Lyrics

I walked through so many storms

I barely made it out alive

I fought my fight

I took my shot

I just wanted to be at peace again

But I can’t control how you make me feel

No

Your strongest currents pull me in so far

That I’m drowning in you

Your ten foot waves crash over my head

Yeah

I can’t swim away

You’re everywhere

There’s no way I’ll make it out again

There’s no escaping the ocean

I ran up mountains

The avalanches in my way

But I got up

I made it

I couldn’t even look at you

But you smile and I come running back

Your strongest currents pull me in so far

That I’m drowning in you

Your ten foot waves crash over my head

Yeah

I can’t swim away

You’re everywhere

There’s no way I’ll make it out again

There’s no escaping the ocean

I’m losing my breath

You fill up my lungs

Take my heart and break it up

You hold on tight

I can’t escape

And I just need to accept

Your strongest currents pull me in so far

That I’m drowning in you

Your ten foot waves crash over my head

Yeah

I can’t swim away

You’re everywhere

There’s no way I’ll make it out again

There’s no escaping the ocean

## Lyrics

Seems like yesterday

I was six years old

But I'm close to adulthood now

Or so I've been told

And my life is flying by so fast

I hope I'll make these memories last

'Cause I'm not a little kid anymore

I just hope my life doesn't become a bore

Growing up

In the next chapter

Learning more

In the next chapter

Speeding up

In the next chapter of my life

Having fun

In the next chapter

Break the rules

In the next chapter

Find the one

In the next chapter of my life

Seems like yesterday

I was learning how to write my name

But now I'm worried about my life

And it's kind of lame

'Cause I don't know what the future will hold

I hope I don't get stuck in the cold

No I'm not a little kid anymore

Where I'm headed, I can't tell for sure

Growing up

In the next chapter

Learning more

In the next chapter

Speeding up

In the next chapter of my life

Having fun

In the next chapter

Break the rules

In the next chapter

Find the one

In the next chapter of my life

Growing up

In the next chapter

Learning more

In the next chapter

Speeding up

In the next chapter of my life

Having fun

In the next chapter

Break the rules

In the next chapter

Find the one

In the next chapter of my life

## Lyrics

I got this feeling that you liked me

Guess I wasn't thinking straight

'Cause I jumped too fast

Yeah I fell real bad

I’m not proud of my decision

But I needed an escape

I was feeling sad

Made me not so mad

I'm sorry there's no easy way to say it

I hope that you can understand

You’re a rebound

I picked you up so that I wouldn’t fall down

'Cause I was so alone

I needed someone to make feel good

When I was feeling low

You’re a rebound

I knew it from the start that we would run out

But I had to get away

I lost the best thing that happened to me

And I was hurt inside

Everything started off so great

But it started going south

Knew you were in love

Made it all so tough

I'm not proud of my decision

But I'm better off alone

Put myself above

Said, "I've had enough"

I'm sorry there's no easy way to say it

I hope that you can understand

You’re a rebound

I picked you up so that I wouldn’t fall down

'Cause I was so alone

I needed someone to make feel good

When I was feeling low

You’re a rebound

I knew it from the start that we would run out

But I had to get away

I lost the best thing that happened to me

And I was hurt inside

I hope that this explains things from

My point of view

Someone else would be so lucky to have you

I know it's a stupid excuse

But I can't say I love you no

You’re a rebound

I picked you up so that I wouldn’t fall down

'Cause I was so alone

I needed someone to make feel good

When I was feeling low

You’re a rebound

I knew it from the start that we would run out

But I had to get away

I lost the best thing that happened to me

And I was hurt inside

## Lyrics

The waves, they send me off to sleep

Those were the days that I could truly feel at peace

The time, it draws circles 'round my eyes

And I don't wanna get pulled out by the tide

It's my life

It's my time

To be free

I miss summer days on ocean shores

Fireworks, and nothing more

Could make me happier than I was then

I miss bumper cars and ice cream stores

Back then, I was just so sure

Of everything and I miss what I had

There's no more living life with no regard

I miss my summers spent on Long Beach Boulevard

And now, the past is all I have

From when I used to blindly trust there was no bad

I dream, that I’m lying in the sun

But I can’t turn back the time, what’s done is done

It's my life

It's my time

To be free

I miss summer days on ocean shores

Fireworks, and nothing more

Could make me happier than I was then

I miss bumper cars and ice cream stores

Back then, I was just so sure

Of everything and I miss what I had

There's no more living life with no regard

I miss my summers spent on Long Beach Boulevard

Football catches, soccer matches

Biking down the street

I need to tell myself, "You can't stop moving on"

The sun goes down, the leaves turn brown

And now, I fear the day

When everything that I once loved is gone

I miss summer days on ocean shores

Fireworks, and nothing more

Could make me happier than I was then

I miss bumper cars and ice cream stores

Back then, I was just so sure

Of everything and I miss what I had

There's no more living life with no regard

I miss my summers spent on Long Beach Boulevard

## Lyrics

Feels like last year was a breeze

But little did I know, I was so naïve

Maybe it’s hard to see that baby you are all I need

We got nothing but time to waste, there’s no mistakes

Baby, I want you bad

Thinking ‘bout you everyday, the little things

Baby, so just take my hand

I wouldn’t mind some company, just you and me

Baby, you pick the show

I don’t wanna spend tonight, in my mind

Baby, don’t leave me alone

Close my eyes she’s in my dreams

Can’t deny she means everything to me, yeah

In my mind, we’re as perfect as can be

But that’s not reality

These are my shattered dreams

These are my shattered dreams

These are my shattered dreams

These are my shattered dreams

Maybe I’m doing this wrong

If only you would come along

If you just get out your head, oh

Maybe you’d see my love instead

If I told you how I felt, your heart would melt

Baby, that’s just the truth

When can I get out this hell, time will tell

Baby, that’s all on you

It could just me you and I, no ocean eyes

Baby, there’s no need to cry

If I met you last July, I can’t deny

Baby, this won’t be our last goodbye

Close my eyes she’s in my dreams

Can’t deny she means everything to me, yeah

In my mind, we’re as perfect as can be

But that’s not reality

These are my shattered dreams

These are my shattered dreams

These are my shattered dreams

These are my shattered dreams

These are my shattered dreams

These are my shattered dreams

These are my shattered dreams

These are my shattered dreams

In 2016, Sean told *The Strategist* that he had written 13 songs that he hoped to release. Among several songs was "Part One". The song is often spectulated to be the track that was leaked around Kennedy's school, which became a driving force for the release of "Anyone". Sean first mentioned that a song of his was leaked in an Instagram post on the release day of his debut album stating, "I think ever since my first demo leaked I was always wary of other people's opinions, but I believe I have finally made something that I am so extremely proud of that I want to show people." Kennedy went into further depth in his documentary, sharing:

> There were some kids in my school who got a hold of one of my songs, and they didn't have the nicest things to say, but I knew I was gonna prove them wrong.

## Lyrics

Feel like I don’t belong

I’m alone, it feels so wrong

I mean no disrespect, but I know what to expect

You’re one person online

Walk away and change your mind

Try to take control

But you don’t know your goal

How can this be? (How can this be?)

Takin’ everything from me

No need to see (No need to see, yeah)

Actin’ like this shit is free

No need to slam, (Slam)

Slam my inner demons

Please understand, (Please understand)

Understand my inner demons

When it comes to you, baby I’m secure

When it comes to you, swear it’s all a blur

I used to, I used to, get my confidence from rolling with ya

I used to, I used to, get my confidence from tryna fix ya

I used to be that way, now I got inner demons

Tryna find peace, I’m feigning

Real life ‘cause I’m dreaming

No, I cannot open up

No, I’m not that over us

I’m so sick and over love

Died out quick like my heart

Now I’m way worse by far

[Chorus: Katsu]

How can this be? (How can this be?)

Takin’ everything from me

No need to see (No need to see, yeah)

Actin’ like this shit is free

No need to slam, (Slam)

Slam my inner demons

Please understand, (Please understand)

Understand my inner demons

Breathless

Cold air talking, I can't see, can you?

Diamond dancing

Chilled on my neck, shit’s a fridge to you

Finna die

Sleep with no regrets, what I did to you

Hate me all you want

Getting money, yeah I flaunt

Conversations, lately

Talking to the voices in my head, want me dead

I feel so conflicted

In my past I took too many risks

I put my flag up, that's it I surrender

Yeah

Bringing it, bringing it back to the ground

I stick close to the earth, so they can't hear the sound

That the demons be making, I can't let em out

I been, I been surrounding myself

Negativity, why can't I feel by myself?

Stop I'm living it, tryna get me to shut down

I'm rebooting my sounds, I reviewing myself

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Devil on my shoulder, fighting with the one on the shelf

Ghost from my past, returning to put me in hell

But I'm pushing and pulling and moving around

So how can this be?

They taking everything from me, yeah

Understand my inner demons

How can this be? (How can this be?)

Takin’ everything from me

No need to see (No need to see, yeah)

Actin’ like this shit is free

No need to slam, (Slam)

Slam my inner demons

Please understand, (Please understand)

Understand my inner demons

## Lyrics

You had the love

I had the pain

You had the pride

I had the shame

You said, "Hello"

And I said, "Goodbye"

Looking back on it now

I should've spoken up

But I was too afraid

I was invisible anyway

I remember those boots, that hair

We were going somewhere

And it's so unfair

'Cause love was in the air and I'm like

"Ooh I want you"

Ooh

I remember that voice, that laugh

We were going too fast

And it was a blast

Too bad it didn't last, I'm like

"Ooh I want you"

Ooh

Maybe it's time to move on

I try and nothing can work out

You're stuck in my head

I can't get you out

I remember those boots, that hair

We were going somewhere

And it's so unfair

'Cause love was in the air and I'm like

"Ooh I want you"

Ooh

I remember that voice, that laugh

We were going too fast

And it was a blast

Too bad it didn't last, I'm like

"Ooh I want you"

Ooh

It was a short lived ride

But it was so amazing

Yeah the time of my life

And there is no phrasing

How it felt to be near you

I remember those boots, that hair

We were going somewhere

And it's so unfair

'Cause love was in the air and I'm like

"Ooh I want you"

Ooh

I remember that voice, that laugh

We were going too fast

And it was a blast

Too bad it didn't last, I'm like

"Ooh I want you"

Ooh

I want you

## Lyrics

The calm before the storm, yeah it's so peaceful

I didn't hear the warnings in my head

It ripped up everything that was in its path

I didn't think that I would make it out

Running from myself

Crying out for help

Running from myself

All I can do

The storm hit us full force

The buildings fell around us

Now we're left in this wreck with no one hold

They said run

We were both told

Now we're broken and lost

We paid the cost

In the aftermath

The streets are blanketed with fallen trees

Debris and waste float around on the ground

A picture of a perfect life is gone

I still don't know how we will go about

Running from myself

Crying out for help

Running from myself

All I can do

The storm hit us full force

The buildings fell around us

Now we're left in this wreck with no one hold

They said run

We were both told

Now we're broken and lost

We paid the cost

In the aftermath

The buildings falling down

The people running 'round

And no one hears a sound

The buildings falling down

The people running 'round

And no one hears a sound

The buildings falling down

The people running 'round

And no one hears a sound

The buildings falling down

The people running 'round

And no one hears a sound

In the aftermath

The storm hit us full force

The buildings fell around us

Now we're left in this wreck with no one hold

They said run

We were both told

Now we're broken and lost

We paid the cost

In the aftermath

Can't take this shit anymore, it just ain’t fair to me

This ammunition and you’re done in one text (Done in one text)

Don't worry baby, I know who's got next (I know who's got next)

Shawty bad

Now she wants me back, now she sees I got a bag

No way she can get me ‘cause I left her in the past (Yeah)

All about my cash, gave my heart for nothing

'Cause you put me in the trash (Yeah)

Shawty a fool for me, know she not foolin’ me

I even got you some diamonds and jewelry

I thought you were true to me

And you say you’re losing me

But I’m tired of losing sleep, this been goin’ on for weeks

Yeah, you took a part of me (Yeah, you took a part of me)

Late nights, I don’t sleep

You would just be lyin’ if you said you weren’t missin’ me

Put an end to that, takin’ it out of its misery

Now you mad, got you feelin’ bad

But you had lied to me, how could you lie to me?

Gotta be honest, you said you would ride for me

But now you don’t ride with me

Bro, gotta stay by the side with me

I know she gon’ slide for me (I know she gon’ slide for me)

Won’t forget the games you played

I might just fade away

## Lyrics

You’re perfect in every way

But none of that matters to me

You tell me you love me

And I say it back with an empty heart

I don’t want to hurt you

But you need to know how I really feel

And you have our life planned out

But I'm just trying to find a way out

I still love her

Nothing can take it off my mind

I still care for her

And I feel like my life just isn’t mine

And I know that it’s time to let go

But there’s something you need to know

It’s that I still love her

And you shouldn’t be stuck in the middle

You cling on everything I say

But none of that matters to me

You’re faithful and you care for me

And I fake a smile

I feel so bad for messing with your head

But I don’t know why I still think

About her oh

I still love her

Nothing can take it off my mind

I still care for her

And I feel like my life just isn’t mine

And I know that it’s time to let go

But there’s something you need to know

It’s that I still love her

And you shouldn’t be stuck in the middle

You can’t tell that I don’t want to do this

You can’t see but I don’t really like you

You don’t know that she’s always on my mind

You can’t feel my heart racing when I’m near you

Because it’s not racing for you

You’re perfect in every way

But none of that matters to me

I still love her

Nothing can take it off my mind

I still care for her

And I feel like my life just isn’t mine

And I know that it’s time to let go

But there’s something you need to know

It’s that I still love her

And you shouldn’t be stuck in the middle

'Cause I still love her

## Lyrics

You only want me when you're fucked up

Hallucinating what could be reality

I keep picking up the pieces to your broken heart

But you just take me for granted

Been by your side since day one

But now you're with him and we're good as done

I always thought that I could make you mine

Guess it's my fault, I’ve lived a lie

Life goes on, what I can do?

Just ignore the pain that you put me through

Sick and tired of being plutonic

You love me tonight, but hate me in the morning

I'm sick and tired of being the best friend

I'm sick and tired of being your backup
