leave him behind
Lyrics
I'm a mess as I'm lookin' out the window
I'm a mess and I never really even know where to go
I understand you're struggling, but baby so am I
This impending doom feeling, like we're running out of time
You tell me that you love me, "I just wish that you were mine"
Baby, I ain't goin' nowhere, so just stop wastin' time
My clock has been broken for the last seven days
It's cracked from all the time that I'm spending just to waste
But honestly, I don't mind, I think it's about time
That you leave him behind, get up out of my mind
And into my bed, already live in my head
You suffer intense from all the shit that he said
I couldn't leave you even if I wanted to (no, no)
It feels like we're too fuckin' scared to up and move (yeah, yeah)
You're the only one I want baby
Your eyes tell me that you're too scared to take me
Girl, believe me, I know you don't want him no more
But I want you and I love you, and you know that of course
I understand you're struggling, but baby so am I
This impending doom feeling, like we're running out of time
You tell me that you love me, "I just wish that you were mine"
Baby, I ain't goin' nowhere, so just stop wastin' time
Baby, won't you leave him behind? (Leave him behind)
Fuck all of the things he said
And all the shit that's clouding your mind (clouding your mind)
And let the past just be dead
Baby, won't you just leave him behind? (Leave him behind)
Fuck all of the things he said
And all the shit that's clouding your mind (clouding your mind)
Baby, won't you leave him behind? (Leave him behind)
Fuck all of the things he said
And all the shit that's clouding your mind (clouding your mind)
And let the past just be dead (let the past be dead)
Fuck all of the things he said
You should just come and love me instead (love me instead)
Forgive, forget, that's what I was taught growin' up (it was)
I forgot about the past and then we both fucked up (we did)
A cracked mirror ain't really enough to see the bigger picture
We both got into relationships with images and fixtures
Tryna replicate the magic that we made back then (it's shattered)
And we can do it if we forget all about the past tense (forget it)
The future's where my mind is at, the present's where we need to be
I want you in my arms until the only thing you see is me (you're mine)
I know he caused you pain, and baby, she done did me dirty too
But I'll just shield you from this rain if that is all that I can do (I'll keep you safe)
I love the sound of your voice and the feeling of our love
I need it for eternity, I need to see some doves (flyin')
And I know that we ain't ready yet, I know that we're healin'
But you can bet your ass already that I'm fine with revealin'
What I want from you and us, it ain't changed since we begun (it hasn't)
My intentions are the same with every year around the sun (stay the same)
I understand you're struggling, but baby so am I
This impending doom feeling, like we're running out of time
You tell me that you love me, "I just wish that you were mine"
Baby, I ain't goin' nowhere, so just stop wastin' time
Baby, won't you leave him behind? (Leave him behind)
Fuck all of the things he said
And all the shit that's clouding your mind (clouding your mind)
And let the past just be dead
Baby, won't you just leave him behind? (Leave him behind)
Fuck all of the things he said
And all the shit that's clouding your mind (clouding your mind)
Baby, won't you leave him behind? (Leave him behind)
Fuck all of the things he said
And all the shit that's clouding your mind (clouding your mind)
And let the past just be dead (let the past be dead)
Fuck all of the things he said
You should just come and love me instead (love me instead)
And it's alright
And it's alright
We can be back home by midnight
We were kids for now
I'm a mess as I'm lookin' out the window
I'm a mess and I never really even know where to go
I understand you're struggling, but baby so am I
This impending doom feeling, like we're running out of time
You tell me that you love me, "I just wish that you were mine"
Baby, I ain't goin' nowhere, so just stop wastin' time
My clock has been broken for the last seven days
It's cracked from all the time that I'm spending just to waste
