[Verse 1]
Finally, I’m crossing the threshold
From the ordinary world to the reveal of my heart
Undoubtedly, that will for certain
Take the dead out of the sea and the darkness from the …
[Verse 1]
I’m smoking while I’m runnin’ on my treadmill
And I’m cutting up roses
Could it be that I fell for another loser
I’m crying while I’m cummin’
Making love while I’m making good …

Ear Drummers!
Turn up!
Ya not in
I said “Turn up!!”
Woo!
Bitches and bottles
You know what is it
Ay, (DJ Khaled!)

Let’s get high as …
Verse 1:
I made my mind
I said I’d never fall for you
No, not this time
Not after the way you fucked me up
You went through the grapevine
And I’ve been moving on
Just like …
[Intro: Waiter talking]
Here you are, sir, just how you like
Careful, it’s hot
Enjoy…
[Verse 1]
Okay, come be my appetizer
My fruit, my apple cider, my colada
My papaya, how you want it?
I told the …
When it went down,1 it was so hard to breathe2
I gave up everything, and I fall, fall down to the floor3
life was escaping me, I couldn’t find myself
’til it was all lost, not anymore4
I’m holding on to all the pieces of my heart’s debris,5 ’til it’s time
I’ll…I’ll pull it together and fix myself eventually,6 I know it’s mine7
I found gold in the wreckage,8 put it in a necklace9
keeping it ’cause I, I know that it’s mine
I wear it like a message, so I don’t forget it10
keeping it ’cause I, I know that it’s mine
I know that it’s mine, no matter what I do,
I know that it’s mine, whether I win or lose
and even though my heart needs to take its time,
I know that it’s mine, I know that it’s mine11
Facing the change, but it’s still tough to see
at first I fought it all, I was so mean
I’m still unsure, how it’s supposed to be
I’m taking every day now by the skin of my teeth, until I learn12
I’m holding on to all the pieces of my hearts debris, ’til it’s time
I’ll… I’ll pull it together and fix myself eventually, I know it’s mine
I found gold in the wreckage, put it in a necklace
keeping it ’cause I, I know that it’s mine
I wear it like a message, so I don’t forget it
keeping it ’cause I, I know that it’s mine
I know that it’s mine, no matter what I do,
I know that it’s mine, whether I win or lose
and even though my heart needs to take its time,
I know that it’s mine, I know that it’s mine
I found gold in the wreckage, put it in a necklace
keeping it ’cause I, I know that it’s mine
I wear it like a message, so I don’t forget it
keeping it ’cause I, I know that it’s mine
I know that it’s mine, no matter what I do,
I know that it’s mine, whether I win or lose
and even though my heart needs to take its time,
I know that it’s mine, I know that it’s mine13

I believe this song is about someone having their heart broken and needing to take some time to themselves before they can jump into another relationship. Like “I found it in the wreckage” being as she found herself again after losing herself. Then “I wear it like a message, so I don’t forget it” like she wants to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

To me I believe that this song is about a girl who has broken up with someone and her heart has been broken but is starting to pick herself up after it all for example ‘I found gold in the wreckage’ to me I think she is trying to say that even though her heart was broken it is still made of gold and when she says ‘I wear it like a message’ it seems like she is trying to tell herself the break up wasn’t her fault and lastly she says ‘ cause I know that it’s mine’ her heart is hers and nobody can take that away from her
