About This Track

A track from the deluxe edition of 'Stoney', released in December 2016, 'Leave' stretches to five and a half minutes and was produced by Cashio, Charlie Handsome, and Rex Kudo. The song maps a relationship caught between compulsion and self-preservation, Post Malone adopting the voice of someone who knows he should walk away but cannot bring himself to do it. The production gives him room to spiral. Over a sparse arrangement, he paraphrases the push-and-pull dynamic in blunt terms, the chorus built around the admission that he kept wishing he would die on the whole plane ride home. The lyric does not sensationalise the thought; it sits plainly in the mix, a measure of how far the dynamic has corroded his sense of proportion. The song acknowledges toxicity without offering resolution, the repetition of the outro suggesting a loop he has not yet broken.

"Leave" is a track by Post Malone, from the album Stoney (Deluxe), released 1st December 2016. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Post Malone.

Lyrics

[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)
