Leave me (Live in DC)

[Intro]
Raise your flashlights up to the sky
High as your arms can reach tonight
But this is not a breakup song
This is an I’m sorry that I hurt you
And it took me so long to apologise for
All of the selfish shit I did
But I love you enough to stand here and admit
And admit that, and admit that
Oh no, and admit that

[Chorus]
I don't like the person that I am when I hurt you
'Cause in those moments, I desert you
And I realize I don't deserve you, no, I don't deserve you, but
I'm praying on my knees I'm begging that you won't leave me
But you can do so much better, please, believe me
So, I won't blame you if you lеave me, leavе me 'cause I

[Verse 1]
I made a promise on the day we said vows
I swore to love you and to never let you down
I told your father I'd protect you from the pain
I told your mother I would shelter you from rain
You were the only one that I have ever dreamed of
My perfect truth that I've hidden with every lie
If only I was less concerned about our future
I might've noticed you needed me by your side

[Verse 2]
And after all of those days, you kept it inside
Don't know how I missed every tear that you cried
I loved you enough to let you be free
So, I can't blame you, baby, it started with me
I loved you but left you in moments of need
We broke like a promise, too heavy to keep
And baby, it kills me lately
'Cause maybe I'm the reason why

[Chorus]
I don't like the person that I am when I hurt you
'Cause in those moments I desert you
And I realize I don't deserve you, no, I don't deserve you, but
I'm praying on my knees I’m begging that you won't leave me
But you can do so much better, please, believe me
So, I won't blame you if you leave me, leave me 'cause I

[Verse 3]
I'm so sorry for the way things went down
You deserve a king and I'm not wearing no crown
There's tears welling up in your eyes
I'd be lying through my teeth if I told you I was surprised
What did I think would happen after all of this time?
It's like you blink, and seven years just passes you by
I wish that I could run it back, and right my wrongs
Maybe you wouldn't be gone if I wasn't chasing these songs

[Verse 4]
And I spent my energy tryna actually be a better man
I lost my centerpiece, I don't think you understand
What you meant to me, our love was deeper than ration
But never loved you enough to set you free from my passion, I

[Chorus]
I don't like the person that I am when I hurt you
'Cause in those moments I desert you
And I realize I don't deserve you, no, I don't deserve you, but
I'm praying on my knees I’m begging that you won't leave me
But you can do so much better, please, believe me
So, I won't blame you if you leave me, leave me 'cause I

[Bridge]
But maybe we had to break to grow
Maybe I had to lose to learn
When I hear your name, I feel that pain
And my heart still burns
Maybe this is my sacrifice
Maybe I'll love you my whole life
I'll lay down my pride
And hope you find me on the other side

[Chorus]
I don't like the person that I am when I hurt you
'Cause in those moments I desert you
And I realize I don't deserve you, no, I don't deserve you, but
I'm praying on my knees I’m begging that you won't leave me
But you can do so much better, please, believe me
So, I won't blame you if you leave me, woah, leave me 'cause I
