Leave Me Behind versuri

Versuri NateWantsToBattle & Cam Steady – Leave Me Behind lyrics

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

‘Fore 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 chasin’ 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
Thought that 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 it 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

‘Fore I close the book, I always skip to the end
See, will I ever fall in love with makin’ music again?
Or did I give up all my passion and friends to run a factory line
That’ll just replace me when I finally left? Yuh

Wanna know the day I knew nobody’d pray for me?
The day somebody told me, „This ya 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
Thought that 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?
