Leaving Me Behind

Do-do-do-do… do-do-do…

(yeah…)

I know you hear me fading…

⸻

I mind that you’re leaving me behind — why?

Cut me off, the feelings dry — lie

Told me that we’re doing fine — cry, oh well

Guess I should’ve known you too well

I mind that you’re leaving me behind — why?

Cold heart, empty replies — sigh

Left me in the dark where our ghosts still dwell

Guess I should’ve known you too well

⸻

Every day I’m waiting for a text, but you never send

Started as a four-letter word, but now it’s just pretend

Every time I hit you up, you leave me on read again

Where did I go wrong? Is this the end? Is it dead?

Fell for you fast, like a comet crashing down

Led me on the path where your shadow’s all I found

Glad I ain’t splatter when I hit the ground

But why I still see you in every damn town?

I been feeling numb, something I’m tryna outrun

Thought the thought of loving you was kinda fun

But what we had is ashes — baby, it’s done

I’m tired of chasing ghosts… I’m tired of being the one

⸻

Cut me off like an amputation

Said your life too full of complications

Left me broken in the worst vibration

Now it’s 6 AM and I’m drowning in sedation

⸻

I mind that you’re leaving me behind — why?

Cut me off, the feelings dry — lie

Told me that we’re doing fine — cry, oh well

Guess I should’ve known you too well

I mind that you’re leaving me behind — why?

Cold heart, empty replies — sigh

Left me in the dark where our ghosts still dwell

Guess I should’ve known you too well

⸻

Sun rays hittin’ my back, but it don’t feel warm

Miss the days you’d relax, now your voice is a storm

You’d spaz at me for anything, I’d hover just to stay

Now you searchin’ for a love that you already pushed away

I picked you flowers just to soften up your pain

Sunflowers from the garden tryna brighten up your brain

Tattooed in my chest, yeah I still feel your sting

It’s all in my mind — but it changes everything

Thought we’d move on, build a new life in bliss

But time in the oven turned to flames like this

We throw knives, no ducking

Love turned to something

Cold, distant — barely touching

Where’s the champagne nights?

Where’s the mad views at sunrise?

Romance turned fights

And now I climb my mind to escape your lies

⸻

Hold on…

You said “don’t go,” but you let go first

Hold on…

Love shouldn’t feel like a curse

⸻

Put the blade to my wrist — nah, I’m done with that

‘Cause I know you ain’t ever comin’ back

Love was a ship and it sank so fast

But thanks for the memories — they’ll fade at last

⸻

I mind that you’re leaving me behind — why?

Cut me off, the feelings dry — lie

Told me that we’re doing fine — cry, oh well

Guess I should’ve known you too well…
