leaving them behind

(Ooh, whoa)

When I think about how it used to be

Sometimes it would make me cry

Was it worth it to let my old friends behind?

I needed a change so badly

I had to leave the pain behind

'Cause it was way too much

'Cause leaving them behind

Was a tough choice, but I needed to do so

And it was for the better

Back then I was so afraid of losing people

It hurt so bad (bad, bad)

That I started to overthink and doubt myself (doubt myself)

They created this mess

But I went ahead and became successful

Who would've thought

That I'd come this far?

'Cause leaving them behind

Was a tough choice, but I needed to do so

And it was for the better

Back then I was so afraid of losing people

'Cause leaving them behind

Was a tough choice, but I needed to do so

And it was for the better

Back then I was so afraid of losing people

Did they think that they could bring me down?

I have God by my side

He never left my side

He wouldn't let bad things slide
