Ryan Oakes – Gold Mines lyrics

I feel like I've been waiting my whole life
Just to turn on the page on my own life
Now I'm leaving behind old times
Just a looking the west for the gold mines

I've been on this road too long
It's eroding me, it's way too strong yeah
People tell me to hold on
But I'm feeling like I'm way too gone

Hold me up, cause honestly slowly
I've been killing the old me
On this road it gets lonely
But I'll be okay now

Wrote this verse while I was packing
My bags and surprisingly I'm actually sad
Thinkin about the good times
When it didn't even have to be bad
It's got me thinking that I'm actually glad
That all the pain that I've been through took me to new places
Nothing going to fix you if you don't make changes
If everybody with you has gotta a few faces
Then I think it's time to learn
Go flip the pages, oakes


I feel like I've been waiting my whole life
Just to turn on the page on my own life
Now I'm leaving behind all the old times
Just to look in the west for the gold mines

I feel like I've been waiting my whole life
Just to turn on the page on my own life
Now I'm leaving behind all the old times
Just to look in the west for the gold mines

I feel like I'm in way too deep and I'm scared what is making me yea
I know that it's shaping me
I just wish it wasn't breaking me yea
Save me from the people that break me
Honestly as of lately I feel like I'm escaping
And I'll be okay now

Old life was feeling like a disasters
And it had me wishing I could leave it all faster
I was cheated on and talked about
And every single one of those factors
Finally had me move to different chapters
And now I'm in the west all alone
Tryna get it on my own
Different numbers in my phone
But the people that are close
I could tell I've really grown
So I'm tryna keeo it going
You could leave a message right after the tone
Girl, it's oakes here


I feel like I've been waiting my whole life
Just to turn on the page on my own life
Now I'm leaving behind all the old times
Just to look in the west for the gold mines

I feel like I've been waiting my whole life
Just to turn on the page on my own life
Now I'm leaving behind all the old times
Just to look in the west for the gold mines
