Leave It Behind

I'm hurting inside, and I'm hurting you, I thought we were healing, I thought we were through. I thought we were okay, I thought we were fine, But the pain keeps coming back into my mind. I don't want to fight, I don't want to cry, I don't want to keep asking myself why. Why can't we leave what happened behind? Why does the past keep running through my mind? [Verse 1] I thought we fixed it, I thought we were good, I thought we were finally where we should. But every little thought comes back again, Like I'm trapped inside the hurt that never ends. I know I've made mistakes, I know I've caused pain, And I wish I could take it all back again. I'm trying to change, I'm trying to grow, But sometimes my own mind won't let me let go. I'm scared that I'm not trying enough, Scared that I'm making everything too tough. I want to give you everything I can, I just don't always know how to understand. [Pre-Chorus] And I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose us, I just want to feel happy Instead of drowning in the dust. [Chorus] Can we leave the bad things behind us? Can we stop letting yesterday define us? I just want to wake up and feel okay, I don't want the past to steal another day. I'm hurting inside, but I still love you, I'm trying my best, I swear that I do. I don't want this pain to become who we are, I just want to find our way back to our hearts. Can we leave it behind? Can we leave it behind? I don't want to keep living With this pain inside my mind. [Verse 2] What's running through my head won't slow down, It follows me everywhere, it pulls me down. I keep thinking about everything we've been through, And wondering if I'm doing enough for you. I want to be better, I want to be strong, I want to feel like this is where I belong. But when I think too much, I fall apart, And every thought feels like another scar. I don't want to punish you, I don't want to punish me. I just want us to be happy, I just want us to be free. [Chorus] Can we leave the bad things behind us? Can we stop letting yesterday define us? I just want to wake up and feel okay, I don't want the past to steal another day. I'm hurting inside, but I still love you, I'm trying my best, I swear that I do. I don't want this pain to become who we are, I just want to find our way back to our hearts. [Long Middle / Emotional Breakdown] I'm tired of thinking about what happened, Tired of replaying every moment in my head. Tired of wondering if I'm enough, Tired of feeling like I've already said too much. I know I can't change yesterday, I know the past won't disappear. But why can't we build something better Instead of living in the fear? I don't want to keep hurting you, I don't want to keep hurting me. I don't want love to feel like pain, I want us to finally breathe. I'm trying... Even when you can't see it, I'm trying. I'm trying when my head is screaming, I'm trying when I feel like crying. And maybe I'm not perfect, Maybe I'll make mistakes again, But I'm standing here beside you, Still believing this can mend. I don't want to run away, I don't want to say goodbye. I don't want another argument To become another reason why. I want to look into your eyes And know we're going to be okay. I want to hold onto the love we have And stop letting yesterday take it away. So please, let me leave it behind. Let me stop living in my mind. Let me show you that I'm trying, Let me prove that I still care. Because underneath the anger, Underneath the tears, Underneath every painful thought I've carried all these years... I still love you. I still want us. I still believe in what we have. I just need us to stop looking backwards Long enough to see what's right in front of us. [Quiet Bridge] Maybe we don't have to fix everything tonight, Maybe we just need to hold on tight. Maybe healing doesn't happen all at once, Maybe love means choosing us. [Final Chorus] Can we leave the bad things behind us? Can we stop letting yesterday define us? I just want to wake up and feel okay, I don't want the past to steal another day. I'm hurting inside, but I still love you, I'm trying my best, I swear that I do. I don't want this pain to become who we are, I just want to find our way back to our hearts. Can we leave it behind? Can we leave it behind? I don't want to keep living With this pain inside my mind. [Outro] I'm still here. I'm still trying. I'm still fighting for us. Maybe tomorrow won't hurt this much. Maybe we can start again. Maybe we can leave the bad things behind... And just be happy.
