HAD TO LEAVE [Verse 1] I'm a mechanic's son with oil under my nails Your dad's a judge and your mom heals the world We laugh the same, we dream the same But when we walk through your doors... I disappear Your friends got names on buildings and trust funds They talk in a language I never learned And I smile, but it cuts me in half Cause all I want is just to be enough [Pre-Chorus] When it's just me and you, the world makes sense True love in the air, no pretense But the music stops when I'm in your world And I don't know where I belong [Chorus] So I had to leave, had to leave now Before it breaks me, before it breaks you I fit in your world, but you don't fit in mine Can't pretend to laugh while they cut me down I'd rather bleed alone than watch you drown So I had to leave... I had to leave Baby, I had to leave [Verse 2] I brought you home to cracked walls and laughter Mama taught kids, Daddy fixed cars And you fit right in, you lit up the room But here in your world... I'm the punchline Judge stares, doctor sighs "Where'd you meet him?" in whispers and lies And I see it in your eyes, that fight But love can't build a bridge when the ground ain't right [Pre-Chorus] When it's just us two, we're invincible But out there, I'm invisible And the silence gets so loud in your world [Chorus] So I had to leave, had to leave now Before it breaks me, before it breaks you I fit in your world, but you don't fit in mine Can't pretend I belong where I don't I'd rather let you go than do this wrong So I had to leave... I had to leave Baby, I had to leave [Bridge] Two different worlds, one beating heart But the distance ain't miles... it's who we are I love you enough to let you fly Even if it means saying goodbye So don't cry for me when I'm gone Just remember we were beautiful... before the world [Final Chorus] I had to leave, had to leave now Before it breaks me, before it breaks you True love was there, but it wasn't enough I can't stay where I don't belong So I'm walking away... I'm walking away Baby... I had to leave [Outro] When it's just me and you... But it's never just me and you... So I had to leave marv marvel music
