VIC - if they knew (feat. Avgust) Lyrics

Uh, yeah, uh
Look, you don't like your past but I can see it makes you better
Going through the pain but yo there's diamonds out of pressure
I'd talk about your ex but I don't like to speak in faeces
If I got to cussing it'd be peak on these releases
I don't know what love is, I just know what's in my head
Noticed how I sleep a little better in your bed
An unbeliever so I'm used to thinking it's the fan
But scrolling through our pictures
Watched a kid become a man
Look, I'm Harry Potter, only you can see my scars
A magical bewitching when we're underneath the stars
Like 11-11, make a wish, you know me well
I know it's coming soon but darling, time will only tell
Thoughts running through my head like a marathon
If we have a person, is it someone that we choose
And if we choose it wrong, then how do we regain the trust
I know we're broken, see, communication is a must so
We've been talking, and now you know me better than myself
Expressions staying hidden but you read between the lines
And me, I'm trying to learn
You need convincing bout the signs
It's crazy how it works with our designs
I'll never be the student of the year
But you've been teaching me a lot
Your presence makes me calmer when I'm hot
And I've been so authentic
Cos you love me for the person that I am
So why would I be someone that I'm not
So yes, I love you
I love you like your last man loves please
I get you like the jazz man gets keys
And even though I know you don't like yours
They keep on playing in my soul like chords
I love you even when I don't like me
I'm so imperfect but you don't quite see
I love you even when they don't like us
If they only knew about us
I wish people knew the things you did for me
Hard to put in words, I'll do my best to paint it vividly
Used to think that me, myself, and I the holy trinity
Till you hit my vicinity
Now you got me sitting out here picturing infinity
I love how you went to school and did performing arts
But together or apart, I never catch you acting differently
I love how you pray and though I'm not a man of faith
You show respect for all the ways I work at everything religiously
Showing me the difference between sympathy and empathy
Never one to pity me, you let me know you're here for me
When realisations hit me like epiphanies
You're the diamond in the rough and never
I never needed Tiffany's
A lot of times in my life when my mission was a mystery
A lot of times in my life indecisions would imprison me
But you were there to bring the key
And now the vision crystalline
Don't see competition for you
Speaking realistically
Know we got a lot of dreams, places that we wanna see
Gotta be fulfilling these, not just on an Insta feed
Now I mean it physically, swimming in the Philippines
Early mornings in Belize
Never tripping over shit, just tripping with amenities
Trust we got it coming if you trust in my abilities
Trust I'll stop at nothing to deliver us our inner peace
But until we get a piece, we just gotta tough it out together
All that really means, yes I love you
I love you like your last man loves please
I get you like the jazz man gets keys
And even though I know you don't like yours
They keep on playing in my soul like chords
I love you even when I don't like me
I'm so imperfect but you don't quite see
I love you even when they don't like us
If they only knew about us
