Leave Me Alone

from Fever Dreams by Mia Borders

/

lyrics

This is gonna come out crazy
But, I just need you to give me some space
The truth is that you’ve been so amazing
But, I gotta get outta this place
Every wall is like stall with a lock on the door
And I can’t find the air
I need to break free ‘cause I’ve got to breathe
And you can’t take me there

(Chorus)
Hey...
I love you, but just leave me alone
Ooo...
Why can’t you just leave me alone?

It's not that I can live without you
But, I gotta learn to live with myself
The fact is that it's not even about you
It's about love in and of itself
Gotta fight to survive in this world on my own
Without you holding my hand
Who I need to be is inside of me
And I just need you to understand

(Chorus)

You can't validate me
You can't emancipate me
You just complicate and I can't take it anymore

Sometimes in the dark of the night I lie awake right by your side
'Cause I can't see straight; all I see is your reflection burned into my mind
Everything I do is because of you and who I am is what you see
But, I believe there's something more that's burning deep inside of me
If I find a way, I can find myself and learn to live a life that’s true
But, I can’t find shit if I find myself chained up right next to you
There’s a time and place for love and a time and place for you and me
But, my time is now, and the place you hold ain’t a place I wanna be

(Chorus 2x)
