Leave Them

If they dragged along and brought you down
Turned your smiles into frowns
Left you dying on the ground
Never even turned around
Leave them...Just leave them

If they broke your heart and broke you down
Hated when you're not around
Picked you up then brought you down
Gave you air then made you drown
Leave them...Just leave them

(Cause I'm better off alone anyway)

I feel better off alone at home, I don't even need a phone
Been stabbed in the back so many times, I don't think I have a backbone
Been co-dependent my whole life now I only wanna be alone
What the hell is a friend if they only want you to always be under their throne
Man I thought we were a team, but honesty is what we lacked
Love ain't a charity, I expect the same thing back

So I'm packing my bags and I'm ready to go
I don't know what I want but it's out on the road
And I'm taking these pieces that all of you broke
And the day that I make it I'm leaving you broke

Cuz I'm tired of proving myself, and I'm tired of looking for help
Hard to trust anybody else when they pack you on top of their shelf

I'm not what you want me to be, but everything I want you to see
I'm setting all of it free, I've pack up my bags and I'm ready to leave

If they dragged along and brought you down
Turned your smiles into frowns
Left you dying on the ground
Never even turned around
Leave them...Just leave them

If they broke your heart and broke you down
Hated when you're not around
Picked you up then brought you down
Gave you air then made you drown
Leave them...Just leave them

(Cause I'm better off alone anyway)

Hard to find happiness when the happy things hurt you most
I'm trapped inside my mind and at times I don't know where to go
I'm still trying to find my way, every second of the day
And it hurts to hear me say that I could never let you stay

So I'm turning my back cuz enough with you all
Count on me last and you left me to fall
Stuck out my hand you're the one that I called
Now to me you mean nothing at all
So pack up your share, take all of your things
Your presence, your clothes, and all of your rings
Leave me alone and forget everything
It really means, nothing to me

Putting it all in the past and it sucks we could never make it last, you said
You'd piece my heart back together yet I, found it in the trash
But I guess it was never really You and I, all your eyes are, full of lies
I'm not surprised you hooked up with a guy the same night that we said goodbye
Better off alone at home, don't you ever call my phone
Nothing left inside of me, there's someone that I won't condone

I'm not what you want me to be, but everything I want you to see
I'm setting all of it free, I've pack up my bags and I'm ready to leave

If they dragged along and brought you down
Turned your smiles into frowns
Left you dying on the ground
Never even turned around
Leave them...Just leave them

If they broke your heart and broke you down
Hated when you're not around
Picked you up then brought you down
Gave you air then made you drown
Leave them...Just leave them

(Cause I'm better off alone anyway) [x4]

Hard to find happiness when the happy things hurt you most
Keep your head up smile, you have a long road
I'm not saying toss the luggage or keep them real close
But to get where you wanna go, you gotta let them go
