Don't Leave

Listen If you feel alone and you've got to run away from a place called home Mama's always out and she don't seem to know you Love for the streets and the guys to make love to Constant reminders you were a mistake Bag packed and you're thinkin', "Do I wanna run away?" Don't leave, no, don't run away Don't leave, what will make you stay? Don't leave, no, don't run away Don't leave, can I make you stay? Listen If you feel insecure, used and abused, no trust anymore 'Cause I know that you're waiting Bag packed ready, there's no hesitation Mom's with a client, so your presence is vacant Get set, go to your own destination 12 years pretendin' that you have it worked out When everything you see is mediated, have doubt The streets aren't what you're taught in class 'Cause the school doesn't care anymore You'll be just another missing kid like before And your friends weren't your real friends, they seem to ignore All your struggles and signs that true friends would look for You've been planning this climax for years I'm gonna ruin it, so dry your tears Turn right back around and face your fears You belong in your home, you're not alone Don't leave, no, don't run away Don't leave, what will make you stay? Don't leave, no, don't run away Don't leave, can I make you stay? Don't leave, no, don't run away Don't leave, can I make you stay? Don't leave, no, don't run away Don't leave, can I make you stay?
