​​depend on u

[Intro]
You used to ask me
“If not me then who?
Can I depend on you? Can I-“

[Verse 1]
Momma got sick, gotta pay the bills, gotta keep it handled
God, I never ask you for a thing, just give me an answer
Everything I do seems to make it worse, something like a cancer
And I just needed you to tell me one thing

[Chorus]
If it's not me then who? (Oh)
Can I depend on you? (Oh, woah, oh)
Would you tell me the truth if it hurts? (It can't make this much worse)
If not me, then who? (Oh)
Will I lose you too? (Oh, oh-oh)
If I fail, is it what I deserve? (I can't save you with words)

[Verse 2]
Momma, how my body aches (Oh)
Ever since I left town, do you miss me?
Tell me, was it all a waste? (Oh)
I've been in the city, tryna run it up
I can't even make a play
And my heart hurts, but the rent's paid
And I miss home, but I just can't stay still

[Bridge]
I'm the chief commander, top defender
I would put my life on the line
I remember, last December
Telling you I'd make it right
Burn to embers, melt together
I don't wanna tell you how to feel alive
I just wanted to survive

[Chorus]
If it's not me then who? (Oh)
Can I depend on you? (Oh, woah, oh)
Would you tell me the truth if it hurts? (It can't make this much worse)
If not me, then who? (Oh)
Will I lose you too? (Oh, oh-oh)
If I fail, is it what I deserve? (I can't save you with words)
If it's not me then who? (Oh)
Can I depend on you? (Oh, woah, oh)
Would you tell me the truth if it hurts? (It can't make this much worse)
If not me, then who? (Oh)
Will I lose you too? (Oh, oh-oh)
If I fail, is it what I deserve? (I can't save you with words)

[Outro]
Needle in a haystack
I would give my life up just to find it
Are you ever coming back?
The story isn't over, you could help me write it
I see it, I'll be the one, a beacon
With all my troops retreated
I'll pick up all the pieces
Pick up my pen, I start to write
I craft it all as I see it
It all went wrong, I'll make it right
I'll be the one you believe in
Depend on me
Depend on me
