Leave Me Behind Songtext
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah)
And maybe I could say it′s the last time
But maybe I could say that I'm scared
Another melody of somebody′s story
I'll finally admit I don't care
It′s been years and I can feel the end is near
′Cause I'm burnt out and I′m mangled
Ready to wake up from this nightmare
Wake me up
Before I close the book, I always flip to the start
I'm just tryna get a look at why I′m sick of the art
It all began with a spark
But the power, fame, dollars and change took the charge
And made me less than its parts
I didn't want it this way, I used to long for this day
Yeah, sure, the money was great but sucked me into this phase
And now the dream that I was chasing seems to chain me in place
′Cause this game, it just takes and it takes and it takes
Will I rot away?
And if I say what's on my mind, will they all leave me behind?
I thought I was safe, I thought I'd see brighter days
Was I a shadow meant to fade all along?
Did I lose my way from pretending?
Another suit without a soul
So many years, I thought I was ending
But it opened up and swallowed me whole
No happy endings will rise and show themselves
So I gotta reach out
And write an ending, an ending for myself
Before I close the book, I always skip to the end
See, will I ever fall in love with making music again
Or did I give up all my passion and friends
To run a factory line that′ll just replace when I finally left? Yeah
Wanna know the day I knew nobody prayed for me?
The day somebody told me "This your legacy?"
This is what you′ll stay to be unless you make a break
'Cause this game, it just takes and it takes and it takes
It′s been years, there ain't nothing for me here
I was broken and alone, but now I′m home
(Will I) rot away?
And if I say what's on my mind, will they all leave me behind?
I thought I was safe, I thought I′d see brighter days
Was I a shadow meant to fade all along?
Will I rot away
If I stand up and say
Say what plagues my mind?
Will they leave me?
Will you leave me behind?
(Yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah)
And maybe I could say it′s the last time
But maybe I could say that I'm scared
Another melody of somebody′s story
I'll finally admit I don't care
It′s been years and I can feel the end is near
′Cause I'm burnt out and I′m mangled
Ready to wake up from this nightmare
Wake me up
Before I close the book, I always flip to the start
I'm just tryna get a look at why I′m sick of the art

But the power, fame, dollars and change took the charge
And made me less than its parts

Will you leave me behind?
