"Gotta Leave" lyrics

I can't go back
To you my friend
Don't even ask
Don't play pretend

You know you left me lonely
I could tell them the whole story
It may take a couple hours
I've got time let's get the chatter
How could I explain the situation
Man it's so damn complicated
Where do I start where do I end
I should go back to bed

I'm going back to all the basics
Teaching myself now how to erase it
It's like learning a whole new language
And I'm afraid too scared to face it
I just want consistent clarity
But all my thoughts destroyed
Give me some peace of mind
Is all I need to give peace to all of my family

I can't go back
To you my friend
Don't even ask
Don't play pretend
You think you are
Everything I need
But I gotta leave

You try but can't get through to me
It's not you yeah It's always me
Close my heart to you see
It opens up for nobody
It's been so hard to fall asleep
The weather always makes my nose bleed
Makes my nose bleed

It's so hard to believe
That one day I'll feel peace
I want control over my life
I want that driver seat
Yeah It's not you that I need
You push me down when I'm weak
You were never there for me
Go pick up your keys and leave

I can't go back
To you my friend
Don't even ask
Don't play pretend
You think you are
Everything I need
But I gotta leave

I can't go back
To you my friend
Don't even ask
Don't play pretend
Cause you think you are
Everything I need
But I gotta leave
