A ballad for u
[Intro]
There's no other way I can explain it, I
I've waited too long just to say this, I
I guess I'm just stuck in my past
Writing notes to myself that I've written in class
I spent a year to myself
Putting myself in your shoes
And if I'm lost on Mars, then
Then here's a ballad for you
[Chorus]
Please don't send me home yet
I don't want to fly away
Driving down this road, tripped
Why can't you leave my brain?
[Verse 1]
I'm living in my head
I think I'm going crazy
We're on two different paths
But we all just want the same thing
You're living in my head
I think the rent has been free lately
I'm learning more about myself
As I wonder if you hate me
And I don't know if I can stop
I'm scared I might be cursed
I guess I'm way too nervous
Like you shouldn't hear these words
But everything I'm saying
Babe, I should've told you first
And now these words
You'll never hear them
They're just empty
And that hurts
So I'm sleeping on my bed
But I'm lying on the floor
Counting all these sheep
Is what I do when I get bored
The smoke just flies away
When I say that I want more
And you were my first option
But I
I wasn't yours
So I sing to clear my mind
I'm coming to my senses
I write to pass the time
I'm finally finishing my sentence
You never will admit
But you know we're not that different
But I need to burn this bridge
So I can breathe
And feel the distance
So tell me
[Bridge]
Please don't fly away
I might be going crazy
But I know I'm not insane
I'm spreading out my wings
To feel like nothing
If you really just don't care
Then baby tell me
With these wings
I'm flying free from the pain
I'm ten thousand feet above you
In the skies
And you see me in these stars
Because I'm high
And I'll try
I'll try anything to get you out my-
[Chorus]
Please don't send me home yet
I don't want to fly away
Driving down this road, tripped
Why can't you leave my brain?
[Verse 2]
You send me all these texts
But we have no conversations
You hide behind your phone
I'll read notifications
And none of them are yours
My train of thought is stationed
I never said goodbye
But I'll never see you later
So I start to skip that class
I'm still doing good in school
I refuse to finish last
I know nice guys are fools
Time is slipping fast
It's the hardest thing I do
'Cause letting go of the past
Includes moving on from you
But I'll sing
[Outro]
Hmmmmmm
