why i left - citizen (usa) lyrics

[intro]
i need to tell you something

[verse 1]
there’s no easy way to say this
but love is rarely worth the effort if it’s painless, so here it is
i’ve been goin’ through some changes
you said you’d take my name when i was nameless
well, i’m no longer nameless
and i ain’t on no a*list
but now that it’s in sight, that’s where my aim is
we met when i was aimless
then i promised i would save us
so we started scr*pin’ quarters off the pavement
now that’s where my name is
i was gettin’ tired of turnin’ pages
next chapter’s in stone, i gotta go through the paces
first steps, family floorboards with stages
feel like i’ve been doin’ this for ages

[interlude]
don’t go, gimme your hand, let me hold hope
would you look alongside me?
if i was a stranger, let’s face it
you’d leave me wonderin’ like i burst in tears
don’t let me leave, um, baby
[verse 2]
there’s no easy way to say this
by the time we meet again, we might be strangers
so there it is, i don’t know if i could face it
i’m haunted by our final conversations and all the time we wasted
i spent so many hours on these flights, they’re like a day shift
our work is night and day shift ’til i’m close enough to taste it
you said you want a life without complacence
but you don’t want the man who’s tryna chase it
i ain’t changin’ my pitch, now it’s too late to forget
starin’ my vanity down, like, “bro, would you pay to be rich?”
i said, “i’ll never see change,” he said, “you’ll never see change”
that’s when my energy changed, causin’ a paradox shift

[verse 3]
watch as the paradox flip, filled with the chances i get
he’ll say he’s taken what’s mine, i say, “i’m takin’ the fit” (uh*uh, ah)
industry name’s on the line, they caught me chasin’ their debt
you want the name on the line? i’ll catch ya name up in fent’
why would i pay for your sins? you couldn’t pay me respect
i don’t need anyone’s help, i could build all this again (yeah*eah*eah)
ego’s your capital vice, talkin’ to capital m
we out here to capitalize, so why put a cap on the pin? (eh, ah)

[outro]
what’s your capital k?
if i needed, i’ll pay in sweat
the only thing out of reach is the part of me i just left (don’t go)
on my way to the set and stone
don’t try and find me again, i’m a stranger to everyone
uh, i’m a stranger to everyone
