Simone - Lost Soul Lyrics

So many faces
And so many places
Yeah, so many faces
That I watch turn cold
(Yeah) Learned pain and learned patience
I took what they gave and
Don't know what I'm chasin'
Just another story of another lost soul

Well goddamn, it's been such a long road
Buildin' up these walls so I can call someplace my home (my home)
Grew up on this block, these are the people that I know (woa-oh)
But now shit's lookin' twisted so I'm switchin' up the tone

It gets cold when the winter wind blows and
Friends become foes and I
Refuse to stay frozen

Now I'm rubbin' my hands together tryna figure out where I went wrong
What turn did I take that led me astray and
How did I end up in your f*ckin' arms?
Played me the fool
Burnt, beat, and bruised
Rose from the ashes, I fought through my blues
Puttin' the pen
Back in my hand
Tearin' out these pages so that I can start again (Yea, yea)

So many faces
And so many places
Yeah, so many faces
That I watch turn cold
(Yeah) Learned pain and learned patience
I took what they gave and
Don't know what I'm chasin'
Just another story of another lost soul

Just another story of another lost soul (Soul, soul)
Just another story of another lost soul (Soul, soul)
Just another story of another lost soul

I'm longin' for somethin' greater
Tell my daddy that I'll see him later
I promise that I'll make you proud
You planted all the seeds so I could rise up from the ground
Your baby girl's a fighter, ain't no one can keep me down
Was never meant to stay here, gotta break out from the crowd

It gets cold when the winter wind blows and
Friends become foes and I
Refuse to stay frozen (Oh no, oh no)

So many faces
And so many places
Yeah, so many faces
That I watch turn cold
(Yeah) I learned from these places (I learned from these places)
Left behind all those faces
I got dreams to be chasin'
Just another story of another lost soul
