Lyrics[]
Tripping on the sidewalk, living like a cyclone
Was I in your heart? Guess I never know where you go
Harsh words in the headlamps, time to leave
Dressing like a psycho, walking on the tightrope
Funky like a monkey with my makeup running
Too proud to find no time to breathe
My baby's always threatening to leave
You can do that or be here
Almost brought me down to my knees
You said I've never been clear
Honey, you better believe, now that there's nothing to fear
You can just leave
Talking like I'm tanked up, reading from the black book
Everyone you know is a holy ghost sinner
You look away as they crucify me
Sleeping in the wreckage, loaded like a weapon
Bombing down Dracena like the end is coming
I prophesized you'll miss the highs with me
My baby's always threatening to leave
You can do that or be here
Almost brought me down to my knees
You said I've never been clear
Honey, you better believe, now that there's nothing to fear
You can just leave
Would you say my prayers if I came here ill-prepared?
You can be in all black 'cause you're never gonna get it clean
When it's easier to leave (Oh-oh, oh)
When it's easier to leave (Oh-oh, oh)
(Too tired to try to let it go)
My baby's always threatening to leave
You can do that or be here
Almost brought me down to my knees (Too tired to try to let it go)
You said I've never been clear
Honey, you better believe, now that there's nothing to fear
You can just leave
Too tired to try to let it go
Too tired to try to let it go
Too tired to try to let it go
Too tired to try to let it go
Too tired to try to let it go
