"Don't Go" lyrics

Patience
You've got to understand
That a girl with a mission, like me
Could never stay
Waiting
For you to grow into a man
You never deal with me gentle
I've sure seen better days
I did a little drive-by
On the way out of your life
To see if I would give you one chance
But you did not fit into my plans
You're telling me your little lies again
I don't believe you, because we've been here already
I gotta go

I'd prefer if you don't go
Don't go
You got the freedom to be, anywhere you want
I'll hold it down at home, and I'll play it nonchalant
Just know
Just know
You got the hustle to be anyone you want
And I will wait forever for your moment in the sun

You're a million miles away
Telling myself this ain't
Nothing but child's play
And that it's okay
I'm falling, you're on belay
Tears running down ya face
Blame it on breeze and the ocean spray
No matter the time of day
Baby I'm here to stay
Ready to wait, put it on display
Even though I'm getting through it alone

I hate telling you don't go
Don't go
You got the freedom to be, anywhere you want
I'll hold it down at home, and I'll play it nonchalant
Just know
Just know
You got the hustle to be anyone you want
And I will wait forever for your moment in the sun

I'd prefer if you don't go
Don't go
Just know
Just know
