Gotta Leave

I can't go back to you, my friend

Don't even ask, don't play pretend

You know you left me lonely, I could tell them the whole story

It may take a couple hours, I've got time, let's get to chatter

How could I explain this situation? Man, it's so damn complicated

Where do I start? Where do I end? I should go back to bed

I'm going back to all the basics, teaching myself now how to erase it

It's like learning a whole new language

And I'm afraid, too scared to face it

I just want consistent clarity, but all my thoughts destroyed

Give me some peace of mind, that's all I need, give peace to all of my family

I can't go back to you, my friend

Don't even ask, don't play pretend

You think you are everything I need

But I gotta leave

You tried, but can't get through to me

It's not you, yeah, it's always me

I closed my heart to you, you see, it opens up for nobody

It's been so hard to fall asleep

The weather always makes my nose bleed

Makes my nose bleed

It's so hard to believe that one day I'll feel peace

I want control over my life, I want that driver's seat

Yeah, it's not you that I need, you push me down when I'm weak

You were never there for me, go pick up your keys and leave

I can't go back to you, my friend

Don't even ask, don't play pretend

You think you are everything I need

But I gotta leave

I can't go back to you, my friend

Don't even ask, don't play pretend

'Cause you think you are everything I need

But I gotta leave (oh, I gotta leave)
