The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh oh
Oh oh
If i had it my way
I would make you stay
I would rescue you away from him
Well not really rescue
But make you choose
What you know you can't afford to lose
Sometimes what's best ain't best for you
And life's too short to hold on to
Something that you know is gonna be trouble
Cause that ain't the way it's suppose to be
Yeah
Though she's lost in love with me
I still think it's best i leave
Cause i know if i stay it's only gonna hurt me
When you go back to him
Deep down i know we're meant to be
But i know she could never leave
Yeah it's the right love
But just at the wrong time
So i just think it's best if i leave, leave, leave
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (think it's best if i leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave (think it's best if i leave)
Now pressure is the last thing
That i want on you
It's hard enough being in love with two dudes
Cause (help me out with the missing line thx)
And i'm tryna score
Even if that means that homie has to lose
Cause sometimes what's best ain't best for you
And life's too short to hold on to
Something that you know is gonna be trouble
Cause that ain't the way it's suppose to be
Though she's lost in love with me
I still think it's best i leave
Cause i know if i stay it's only gonna hurt me
When you go back to him
Deep down i know we're meant to be
But i know she could never leave
Yeah it's the right love
But just at the wrong time
So i just think it's best if i leave, leave, leave
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (think it's best if i leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave (think it's best if i leave)
Never thought that love would be so hard
Sometimes i wish i'd never met you at all
Cause his what's best for you,
You're what's best for me
Think it's best i leave, leave, leave
Never thought that love would be so hard
Sometimes i wish i'd never met you at all
Cause his what's best for you,
You're what's best for me
Think it's best i leave, leave, leave
Though she's lost in love with me
I still think it's best i leave
Cause i know if i stay it's only gonna hurt me
When you go back to him
Deep down i know we're meant to be
But i know she could never leave
Yeah it's the right love
But just at the wrong time
So i just think it's best if i leave, leave, leave
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (think it's best if i leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave, leave, leave (leave)
If i leave (think it's best if i leave)
Oh if i leave, if i leave, if i leave
Think it's best if i leave
