The final track on Side A of the album is written from the perspective of his dying father, who passed away from cancer when Cudi was 11 years old.
The song has been thought of by some to be talking about Cudi himself; he checked into rehab for depression and suicidal urges in October of 2016.
[Intro]
Yeah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
[Verse]
Sit and watch the embers, claw marks on the sleeve
I really don't want to leave, I really don't want to leave
I realize there are no answers to rid me of this cancer
Still I really gotta leave, see I really gotta leave
Float in a sea of emotions, taken over by fatigue
I told you I had to leave, I told you I had to leave
Hold my hand in heaven, count the heartbeats and count the seconds
I really don't want to leave, I really don't want to leave
[Verse]
Sit and watch the embers, claw marks on the sleeve
I really don't want to leave, I really don't want to leave
I realize there are no answers to rid me of this cancer
Still I really gotta leave, see I really gotta leave
Drown in a sea of emotions, taken over by fatigue
I told you I had to leave, I told you I had to leave
Hold my hand in heaven, count the heartbeats and count the seconds
I really don't want to leave, I really don't want to leave
[Outro]
Yeah, oh, woah, woah, woah
I told you I had to leave
I told you I had to leave
No, hmm-mm
Mmm-mm
I'm happy when I'm alone (Mmm-mm)
Thank you ladies and gentlemen, bye
