A week before his debut studio album’s release date, Post Malone released Stoney’s seventh single, “Leave.” The track aches with the raw longing which belongs only to heartbreak, reinforced by string accompaniment and vocal chants.
[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
She said, "Love me" so I love her (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
She said, "Leave me" so I left (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Then I went to California (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I ain't never comin' back
I got a high five from a brother (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I got bloodstains on the bed (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I ain't sayin' that I love her (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
But this bitch is gonna drive me mad
I said this bitch is gonna drive me mad (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus]
You got just what I been looking for
But you can't bring yourself to say no
And I ain't never gonna let you go
I kept wishing I would die, oh
The whole plane ride home
And I wish I could
I know I should leave you alone
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
I worship since I met you (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I fell down to my knees (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And when no one would accept ya (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Throw myself up on a cross and bleed
I seen a dark cloud coming over (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I seen some evil shit in her head (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
But she rode me like no other (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
But this bitch is gonna drive me mad
I said this bitch is gonna drive me mad (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus]
You got just what I been looking for
But you can't bring yourself to say no
And I ain't never gonna let you go
I kept wishing I would die, oh
That whole plane ride home
And I wish I could
I know I should leave you alone
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You got just what I been looking for
But you can't bring yourself to say no
And I ain't never gonna let you go
I kept wishing I would die, oh
That whole plane ride home
And I wish I could
I know I should leave you alone
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
