"i would leave you" lyrics

I didn't know I was starting a war when I met you
Between who you were and who you could've been if you would've let yourself
Making me weak trying to keep you afloat
Down on my knees, let you slip under the undertow

I would leave you if you'd let me
I would leave you if you'd let me go
Until then I'm here hoping you'll forget me
Cause I can't help but lie in wait in front of an open door
I can't help but lie in wait in front of an open door

I didn't know I was digging your grave every morning
The sweat in my eyes and the dirt on my face should've been a warning sign
Making a space in the ground for you to grow
Digging in deeper for you to feel bitter that you couldn't be something more

I would leave you if you let me
I would leave you if you let me go
Until then I'm still hoping you'll forget me
Cause I can't help but lie in wait in front of an open door
I can't help but lie in wait in front of an open door

Now I can't leave you since you left me
I can't leave you since you let me go
