I Know Leopard Lyrics

Lights, they were shining from the back of your eyes
Your eyes sparkled like lights and gave the impression that you are the most important thing in my life.

I thought you were the meaning of life
I believed that being with you would provide me with the purpose and happiness that defines life itself

I should have known that something so bright
I should have known that things that are too good to be true don't usually last long.

Would burn up like a supernova
Just like a supernova which is a powerful explosion of a star, things that are too bright end up burning out quickly.

She wanna lean on me
She wants me to be her support system.

But it's hard enough for me to stand up
However, it's difficult enough for me to even stand on my own.

She's eating me piece by piece
She's slowly draining me of all my energy, bit by bit.

Next time I see you, I'ma tell her
The next time I see her, I'm going to tell her that I'm no longer able to be her support system.

Referring to the person who is draining him emotionally and energy-wise.

You can call me when you get your shit together
I'll be there for you when you've sorted out your own issues and taken responsibility for your actions.

You can't just play your games with me whenever
You can't keep using me as a support system just whenever you need it, without any consideration for my own well-being.

I hope it's not the way you'll be forever
I hope that you'll eventually figure out a better way to deal with things, instead of draining others to support yourself.

Soon, she will decide to pull out the screws
She will eventually let go of him, despite him being her support system for so long.

She knows there's not a thing I can do
She's aware that there's nothing he can do to stop her from leaving him.

Before she tries to break me in two
Before she completely drains him and breaks him emotionally.

I'll bite the bullet and I'll tell her
I'll be the one to confront her and tell her that I'm unable to support her anymore.

We can even pretend you don't need them tonight
We can pretend that she doesn't need his support tonight, but she always does.

I treat the disease by treating you right
I try to cure myself of the draining effects of being her support system by treating her kindly and doing right by her.

But you're still rising up from my head
Despite my efforts to stop being her support system, she's still constantly on my mind and affecting me.

Leave me for dead, and it's all for your benefit
When she's done, she'll have drained me completely, and it's all for her own benefit.
