lyrics

Leave Me Alone


You say you wanna stay/wait and see what happens
Countin' on fate to fix all our problems
Whatever's wrong will disappear like magic
In a pink cloud of happiness
But I won't live in a fantasyland
Where everything is fine 'cause you ain't got a plan
You should have done way more than try to understand

CHORUS
Leave me alone/leave me alone/why you messin' with me?
Leave me alone/leave me alone/go on, I’m setting you free
Leave me alone/leave me alone/we weren't meant to be
Leave me alone

I ain't got the time to sacrifice myself
To your heap of problems and your nonsense
Whatever's right disappeared like magic
In a black cloud of funkiness
What we had could only stop and start
'Cause when things went wrong it wasn’t ever your fault
You couldn’t recognize and do way more than talk and grandstand

BRIDGE:
Understand/my love life is not a rinse cycle
This back and forth has caused a big wrinkle I can't ignore
I need a man like a fish needs a bicycle
Put a flounder on a tricycle and watch her go
Go ‘head and leave me alone
