Life to Lead - Abstract

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
