We were gone before the gone
Had the chance to hit the road
And I could feel the thorns
But could never smell the rose
I'm losin' all my fight
And lost who I am
If two ain't tryna climb
Then one can't stop the fall

'Stead of sittin' back and watchin'
All the crazy I become
Just do the right thing
And think about me for once

And just leave me alone
Just let me let go
I won't be your backup
Better than nothin'
Or your anything
Better than bein' on your own
Do what you do best
When I need you the most
And just leave me alone

It never bothered you before
So what's holdin' you back now?
I ain't doin' this no more
You reelin' me in just to cast me out
This ain't a last chance come to Jesus
Or a give a damn left to find
Come on, hit me with your best reason
Still ain't gonna change my mind

Just leave me alone
Just let me let go
I won't be your backup
Better than nothin'
Or your anything
Better than bein' on your own
Do what you do best
When I need you the most
And just leave me alone

And take all the souvenirs of memories
Just don't pump the breaks
Convince yourself or anybody else
I don't mean it when I say

Just leave me alone
Just let me let go

Just leave me alone
Just let me let go
I won't be your backup
Better than nothin'
Or your anything
Better than bein' on your own
Hell no I won't
So just leave me alone
