Don't leave
M.A.S.K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I think about
Are overly doubting my confidence
Surrounded by doubts
Trying a completely different route
Undeniably question myself
Will I believe the things you say?
Will I pray to god
I don't know
Where I fit in
Do I fit in
In this crowd of people
In this room
Is the love I'm sending going through
Emotions pouring out
Will I know what I'm worth?
I've been distant
Ever since you left me
Ever since you walked right out
I've been doing me
Glad I'm doing fine
Please don't leave again
All the song that I wrote
Are honestly just the way that I cope
I'm proud of the way that I wrote
I thought I could've been enough
I thought I could've been a lot of things
But one of them isn't working out
I know I'm not a lot
But deep inside I'm trying
I just wanna get over the things that are trapped in my mind
I just wanna feel at home, when I'm not and
I don't wanna feel the pressure
I guess you were right and
I was in the wrong
How do you feel any comfort?
Cause I'm stressing
You're lying
I feel it inside
It doesn't feel that good
I've been distant
Ever since you left me
Ever since you walked right out
I've been doing me
Glad I'm doing fine
Please don't leave again
Sometimes I think about
What if I was someone else?
What if my problems stood up and left the room?
I wish it could've been a lot more easier for me and you
I wish I could've treated you better
All I hear is banging on the wall
I'm scared of them breaking out and
Letting everyone know
What's going on
Are you really real?
Are you really fake or
Is this just a silly dream?
I've been distant
Ever since you left me
Ever since you walked right out
I've been doing me
Glad I'm doing fine
Please don't leave again
I've been distant
Ever since you left me
Ever since you walked right out
I've been doing me
Glad I'm doing fine
Please don't leave again
I've been distant
Ever since you left me
Ever since you walked right out
I've been doing me
Glad I'm doing fine
Please don't leave again
