Leave You Alone
Mr. Council Lyrics

God knows things could be worse
While I know that things could be even worse, it's still tough seeing you get older.

But it’s hard seeing you age
Watching you grow older is difficult for me to see.

The man I once knew staring back at me
You are changing so much that I hardly recognize you anymore.

Baby things sure ain't the same
Things have changed drastically between us, and it's hard to ignore these differences.

I’m trying to be better
I am attempting to improve and change.

Working to understand
I'm doing my best to comprehend the changes you're going through.

The changes you're making
I am trying to adapt to the transformations you're going through.

To be a better man
I want to become a better person because of you.

I’m still listening i’m still loving
I am still willing to listen and love you despite these hardships.

We’re still struggling
We are still going through difficulties and trying to overcome them.

Hard truths bite my heels
I am struggling with facing and accepting difficult truths about our relationship.

These roots have no home
I feel lost and disconnected from our relationship.

The only way I know you love me
The only indication I have of you loving me is when you give me space and leave me alone.

Is when you leave me alone
I need space and time to myself in order to feel valued and loved.

Please just leave me alone
I need some distance and solitude, please don't try to get too close right now.

Won’t you leave me alone
I'm begging you to give me some time and space.

No one taught me better than you
You have taught me so much and have had an enormous impact on me.

There will be highs and there will be lows
There are going to be good and bad times in any relationship.

Not a lot has to change
We don't necessarily have to make a lot of changes to make our relationship work.

Things just can’t stay the same
We do, however, need to recognize that things can't remain as they are.

I assumed too little
I didn't have high enough expectations of our relationship and it has cost us.

And we lost too much
We have lost a lot because of my low expectations and our inability to communicate.

When it comes to love
When it comes to our relationship, there is a lot we still need to learn.

A lesson learned isn’t learned enough
We need to continue learning and growing in order to make our relationship work.

I was damaged
I have been hurt and have been effected by these hardships.

You were exposed
You have been put in difficult and sensitive situations.

Please just leave me alone
I really need some space and time for self-reflection.

Alone
Right now, being alone is what I need in order to improve our relationship.
