[Verse 1]
You brought me up and pushed me out, you got me in time
And what we shared was beautiful but I gotta focus on my mind
All the dreams that we envisioned, they are gone now
The years gone by and you got lost in the corner of my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
I got to, got to
Set the city on fire
I need to, need to
Letting you go now
[Chorus]
I'm gonna leave you now
I gotta focus on mine
And I'm gonna lose my mind
But it's not you (nobody, nobody)
[Verse 2]
You held me up when I was down, I was fragile
Forgive me not for letting go but this may be my only time
[Pre-Chorus]
I got to, got to
Set the city on fire
I need to, need to
Letting you go now
[Chorus]
I'm gonna leave you now
I gotta focus on mine
And I'm gonna lose my mind
But it's not you (nobody, nobody)
[Bridge]
Say my name, take my body too far
Say my name, I will overcome
But I believe there was shame
My blood is on fire, oh
[Chorus]
I'm gonna leave you now
I gotta focus on mine
And I'm gonna lose my mind
But it's not you (nobody, nobody)
But it's not you (nobody, nobody)
But it's not you (nobody, nobody)
But it's not you (nobody, nobody)
