[Intro]

I'm writing this so I can take you off my mind

I've helped you time after time

But you still take advantage and think it's alright

This doesn't get any easier to stomach

You step on your friends who wish you were dead

You could be getting better, but you leech instead

[Verse 1]

Selfish, I can't stand to see you suffer when it's not even worth it

Some people just aren't worth your time

And most times, they never will be

So why, waste your breath on deadweight that holds you down and keeps you on the ground?

Don't let your self-doubt ruin you

It's gonna be up to you to see it through

[Pre-Chorus]

We could break the earth and then rebuild it for ourselves

We could make our own lives, say goodbye to this blank hell

We won't listen to anyone else

Just you and me, as proud as I could ever be

[Chorus]

I'd go through hell to never hear your name

I hope you never find a way to get in the way again

Just turn and leave, just turn and leave and then forget me

[Verse 2]

I thought the burden was mine

To help you out of this hole you've been sucking yourself inside your whole life

Is all this worth just a little peace of mind?

Looks like you're running out of time

[Breakdown]

You'll never take what's mine

Always over-stepping the line

You'll never take what's mine

I'm sick of starving just to feel alive

[Verse 3]

That's the way it feels on the outside

Often making sacrifices so other people feel fine

Then we look at our own lives

We gave 'em all our time and yet we struggle to thrive

Nothing's left but to sacrifice

I'll find my light and make things right

It's time to let out the potential you hide

[Pre-Chorus]

We could break the earth and then rebuild it for ourselves

We could make our own lives, say goodbye to this blank hell

We won't listen to anyone else

Just you and me, as proud as I could ever be

[Chorus]

I'd go through hell to never hear your name

I hope you never find a way to get in the way again

Just turn and leave, just turn and leave and then forget me

[Bridge]

'Cause now I know I just can't be alone

But I'm the first one to get in my own way

After all this time, you still decide to walk away

Turn on me and leave my heart and soul so incomplete

I'm just a failure, scraping truth from your lies

You left my soul suffering

No more secrets, a family left in pieces, gone

[Chorus]

I'd go through hell to never hear your name

I hope you never find a way to get in the way again

Just turn and leave, just turn and leave and then forget me

I'd go through hell to never hear your name

I hope you never find a way to get in the way again

Just turn and leave, just turn and leave and then forget me
