Life to Lead

If I leave in the mornin', if I do go away
If I do have a life to lead, know—well, I couldn’t stay
If I leave in the mornin', if I’m gone one day
Hope I do come back to you, hope one day I stay
You know I think it, you know, I will never truly let go
And no matter how hard I try or how hard it is for my soul
I just had to let you know
You’re my Bonnie, I’m your Clyde
You the one who down to ride
You’re the savior in my nightmares when it’s darkest in the night
You the one who picked me up when no one showed me love
You a angel undercover, your home is up above
I’ve been trippin' like luggage
Ride around the city with a buzz, like fuck it
Feelings buckshot, yeah, I know I can’t duck it
But at the same time feelin' like I can’t trust it
History like textbooks, love story textbook
Don’t open up my phone to even see how ya text look
Long distant call and we still connected
Walls caved in and I’m tryin' to exit
My communication terrible, mood unbearable
And I know to you that kind of me ain’t fair at all
I’ve been messin' up since I made the move
Expectation versus reality, a hell of a truth
Don’t know what I thought it would make of me
I was thinkin' of it like it was some make-believe
Back home I would suffocate inside the walls
Guess I thought when I left they would finally fall
You know I think it, you know, I will never truly let go
And no matter how hard I try or how hard it is for my soul
You know I think it, you know, I will never truly let go
And no matter how hard I try or how hard it is for my soul
If I leave, if I do go away
If I do have a life to lead (live to lead)
Know—well, I couldn’t stay (know—well, I)
If I leave in the mornin', if I’m gone one day
Hope I do come back to you, hope one day I stay
You know I think it, you know, I will never truly let go
And no matter how hard I try and how hard it is for my soul
You know I think it, you know, I will never truly let go
And no matter how hard I try or how hard it is for my soul
'Cause if I leave, if I do go away
If I do have a life to lead, know—well, I couldn’t stay
If I leave in the mornin', if I’m gone one day
Hope I do come back to you, hope one day I stay, yeah
