Lyrics Manchester Orchestra

Manchester Orchestra

Leave It Alone

Leave it alone

We finished this up like an hour ago

So leave me alone

I planted it once, just assumed it would grow

Even though, when I think

Its replicated fear throws me off for years

So take me or don't

A three hour drive but we got nowhere close

You read what I wrote

But you tuned the sound out to make sure I know

Even though I can't see, I feel it's always haunting me

Kicking out my feet

Ruining everything

So take me alone

Cause if it's not with you, I've got no place to go

Your brags turn to boasts

And into fights lasting hours about your dad's ghost

Although you can't say it yet

It's never been the same

And it looks to stay that way

It feels like you're okay

When I was a fire I turned into ice

Melting off my last feverish highs

And I leapt through the sunshine and into the night

Singing songs of my healthiest fears

So take me or don't

I've built up this kingdom you'd hopefully loathe

If we end up alone

A plague on my head and a curse in my home
