"Leaver" lyrics

Call me a leaver
(But if I'm honest)
I'm a believer
That I
Don't have to take me
As I am

If I am a leaver
(Then now)
I'm a believer
That I
Don't want to take me
As I am

(I believe)
That I may
Change beyond comprehension
That I could be someone who actually stays
That I am someone you can count on
That I am someone who turns the page

And so
I'm a preparer
Not a pretender
I'm ready to lose it all
But I'm never a loser
I'm a believer
That I don't have to take me as I am
I may come and go and start again
If that makes me a leaver
Then that's my pen

Rewrite the history
(Control the narrative)
Remember it different
(Fulfill the prophecy)
I shouldn't have to take me as I am

(I believe)
That when given a pen to write with
I shouldn't draft out all the bad parts
I must be honest about my life lived
Though it hasn't been the easiest start

But I may
Change beyond comprehension
I could be someone who actually stays
And I am someone you can count on
And I am someone who turns the page

And so
I'm a preparer
Not a pretender
I'm ready to lose it all
But I'm never a loser
I'm a believer
That I don't have to take me as I am
I may come and go and start again
If that makes me a leaver
Then that's my pen

I'm a preparer
Not a pretender
I'm ready to lose it all
But I'm never a loser
I'm a believer
That I don't have to take me as I am
I may come and go and start again
If that makes me a leaver
Then that's my pen
