Jorja Smith Don't Leave
[Verse 1]
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 thinking
"Do I wanna run away?"
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
Listen
If you feel insecure
Used and abused
No trust anymore
'Cause I know that you're waiting
Bags packed, ready, there's no hesitation
Mum's with a client so your presence is vacant
Get set, go to your unknown destination
Twelve years pretending that you have it worked out
When everything you see is mediated, have doubt
The streets aren't what you 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
[Chorus]
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?
[Outro]
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?
