Lyrics

Sometimes, you gotta just leave it

You gotta just leave it alone

Sometimes, you gotta leave it all behind

Lay your burden down

No more softness

No more places for a man to hide

You gotta use all this pain to make you stronger

You can't play nobody's fool no damn longer

You gotta leave everything you don't need

You gotta lay it down and leave it in the road

What about me?

What if I'm one of the things you no longer need?

Didn't I give you everything?

Even what I don't have yet, even my dreams?

I'm gonna leave it

I'm gonna lay it down and forget

Turn my back and move on

Leave my past to step forward

I'm gonna leave it all behind

I'm gonna lay it down and leave it

Leave it

Leave it in the road
