Leave first

0:00–0:12 — Intro | Dark piano, filtered vocals

Yeah...

It's always the same shit...

I don't know why I do it...

Oh, no...

0:12–0:36 — Verse 1 | Confident melodic rap, darker 808s

I can tell when the energy changing

One little thing got my mind racing

You say it's nothing, I don't believe it

I get too close, then I start leaving

I ain't tryna compete for attention

Fuck all that, I ain't asking questions

See another name lighting up your phone

Now I'm acting like I'm better alone

I tell myself that I don't need you

Cut you off before you see through

All the shit that I keep inside

Got too much damn pride to say why

0:36–0:59 — Chorus | Catchy, emotional singing

I always leave first, leave first

Tell myself it won't hurt, won't hurt

Soon as you find somebody new

I'm wishing I was there with you

I always leave first, leave first

Turn something good into something worse

I don't wanna lose, so I let go

Then I miss you more than you'll ever know

1:00–1:05 — BEAT SWITCH | Drums fade, reversed piano, softer trap percussion enters

Ohhh...

Fuck, I did it again...

1:05–1:30 — Verse 2 | Vulnerable melodic rap, softer delivery

Two weeks turn into two months

Everything good till I think too much

You could be doing nothing wrong

But I make up reasons to be gone

Then I see you with somebody else

And I can't even blame nobody else

I was the one who walked away

Now I'm hoping that you feel the same

And I know that it ain't fair

To want you back when he's right there

I don't even know what I want

Till I realise what I've lost

1:30–1:51 — Final Chorus | Emotional singing, harmonised vocals

I always leave first, leave first

Tell myself it won't hurt, won't hurt

Soon as you find somebody new

I'm wishing I was there with you

Maybe I'm scared you'll leave me

Maybe I make it look too easy

I say goodbye like I don't care

Then spend my nights wishing you were there

1:51–2:00 — Outro | Piano, fading falsetto

I don't know why I leave...

When all I want is somebody to stay...

Yeah...
