Intro
Verse 1
Do You Remember When We Used To Sit Outside And By The Lake
Where We Would Talk About The Future, Hinking That Everything Would Stay The Same,
I Hoped But That's Just The Way I Cope. Hmm
And I Know I Scared You Half To Death When I Said I Love You First
You Said I Love You Back, But Only Cuz You Choked On Other Words
And I Felt Relief, Because I Always Thought You'd Leave
Verse 2
Hmm. And You Would Smile And Tell Me, About Dreams That You Had And How You'd Go Chase Them
And I Always Got Mad Cuz I Can't Go There, And It's Partially My Choosing
Because You Like Gambles And I'm Slow Moving, I'll Never Change
You Could Leave For Like 10 Years And Chase Your Dreams, Come Back And I'd Still Be The Same
Good Kid With Bad Habits. Hmm
If I Wake Up And You've Left, I Won't Be Mad At It
Chorus
But If I Had It My Way, You And I Would Never Leave
We'd Be Buried In The Backyard, Decomposing With The Leaves
But I Can't Keep You Here. Hmm You Could Do The Things I Can't Put Down, The Drugs
And Overcome Your Fears. And I'm Not Mad At You
Look What You've Done. You Pulled Yourself Out Of The Darkness
And The Place That I'm From
And I'm Proud You Got Sober, You Figured It Out. And Yeah, There's Life That You Left Here
But Look At You Now. And You Should Know That I'm Proud
Post-Chorus
Oh, You Should Know That I'm Proud. Hmmm
Verse 3
We Drove In Silence. There Was Nothing Left To Say
If I Had An Argument, That Worked, It Would Have Made You Stay
I Need To Let You Go. And I Guess I'll Never Change. I'll Be Buried In The Backyard
While You're Out In East La.
Verse 4
And I'm Not Mad No More, But I'm Jealous Of The Way
That You Can Up And Leave, While I'm Stuck Here In This Cage
But Man, I Built This, And It's Not Your Job To Free Me
But If I Could, I Would Break Down These Chains, Hope You Believe Me
You Should Run Away, It's Not Fair Of Me To Ask You To Stay Inside The Darkness
Just To Meet Me Where I'm At Cuz You Can't Go There
And It's Harder To Admit It That I've Still Got My Habits
But I'm Happy That You Quit
Chorus
Cuz If I Had It My Way, You And I Would Never Leave
We'd Be Buried In The Backyard, Decomposing With The Leaves
But I Can't Keep You Here. Hmm. You Can Do The Things I Can't Put Down
The Drugs And Overcome Your Fears. And I'm Not Mad At You
Look What You've Done. You Pulled Yourself Out Of The Darkness
And The Place That I'm From
And I'm Proud You Got Sober, You Figured It Out. And Yeah, There's Life That You Left Here
But Look At You Now. And You Should Know That I'm Proud
Post-Chorus
Oh, You Should Know That I'm Proud
You Should Know That I'm Proud
Outro
Cuz I'm Not Mad At You. Look What You've Done
You Pulled Yourself Out Of The Darkness And The Place That I'm From
And I'm Proud You Got Sober, You Figured It Out. And Yeah, There's Life That You Left Here
But Look At You Now. And You Should Know That I'm Proud
