Leave me Be by Attic Wolves Lyrics

Like a moth to the flame each time she calls my name
With lips of poison, her words are lies
To keep me down, keep me under she tries

She says "This is who you are now
It's how you ought to be"
I'm sorry to be disappointing
But darling, that just isn't me

And I tried volume and boldness
Flawed ways to approach this
Intensity falls on blocked ears
So this time I'll lean in and speak gently
These words sent intently
Be careful so that you may hear
I need you to leave me be

And your doubt I've earned
Returned to you, I've turned by back on lessons learned
I paid you attention, I paid in rebellion, He paid in blood
My fall followed pride, and I cannot hide, remorse in a flood
She says "You won't be worth more that you are now
And sorrow is all that you'll know"
She whispers these lies, and she tries and she tries
But only One sits on the throne

And I tried volume and boldness
Flawed ways to approach this
Intensity falls on blocked ears
So this time I'll lean in and speak gently
These words sent intently
Be careful so that you may hear
I need you to leave me be

I need you to leave me be
