Trying To Leave Lyrics by Dev John

Vices

2020

Show me how you want it to be
You tell me that you need me to breathe
I’m your easy reason
You aim to please and I can’t stay this way

You show me how you’re something to see
You tell me you got something for me
A promise don’t mean nothing to me
Your promise don’t mean nothing to me

I got it, now I’m trying to leave
I hit it, now I’m trying to breathe
I bought the night alone
To leave my phone on airplane mode

Call it what it is
Say just how you feel
What I thought we had
Wasn’t ever real

Why you gotta love me then leave me
Feeling like I’m trapped in your bad dream
I could never be just what you see with open eyes at night
I could never run from your phone call
They could never turn all the lights off
Crawling up the cracks on your driveway
Lines on your sidewalk talking to themselves

Dream when I’m awake for you
Leave me when you’ve had enough
Be the hate you feel with me
Gave you what I came to see
Dream when I’m awake for you
Leave me when you’ve had enough
Be the change of heart we had
Gave you what I never got

Gave you what I never got

Call it what it is
Say just how you feel
What I thought we had

[Outro]
Show me how you want it to be
You tell me that you need me to breathe
I’m your easy reason
You aim to please and I can’t stay this way
