Leave Me Behind

de NateWantsToBattle

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 of why I'm sick of the art
It all began with a spark
But the power, fame, dollars and change took the charge
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
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 ending 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 pray for me?
The day somebody told me: This your legacy
This is what you'll say 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?
