The Lead Lyrics by Che-Val

2016

Verse I

How do you always
Pull the upper hand on me
I play my cards right
But the river runs me dry
It’s been too long, since you been gone
For me to still be holding on
I’m too attached, keep fallin’ back
Into the same supporting act
When my phone rings my heart skips a beat
Just hoping it’s you (hoping it’s you)
I curse the screen for tricking me
Tell you what I'm gonna (I'm gonna do)

Chorus I

I’ve got to cut you from my scenes
From everything
And I’ll finally
Be taking the lead
When I take the lead

Verse II

I realize
That I gotta re-write this plot
Gonna cast you to the side
So how’s it feel mr. big shot
No more control
I’m letting go
I'm gonna do this on my own
So no more shines
No more one lines
I’m gonna leave those scenes behind
When my phone rings
You’ll mean nothing to me
I’ll let it ring
Cause you got nothing I need

Chorus I

I’ve got to cut you from my scenes
From everything
And I’ll finally
Be taking the lead

Verse III (Rothstien)

I’ve been leading for a long time
I haven't given the best of me
I’ve been leading for a long time
I’m taking away my scene

(Both)
Long time, long time
I haven’t given the best of me
Long time, long time
I’m taking away my scene
Oh, oh
Given the best of me
Oh, ah
I’m taking away my scene
Given the best of me
Taking away my scene
