leave me alone

Mm
CB, late-night thoughts
Yeah
Uh, yeah

Leave me alone, let me breathe for a second
Everybody got opinions, but they missin the message
I ve been fightin my demons,
I ve been learnin my lessons
I don t need no directions, already been out here
Try to walk in my shoes, but they don t fit right
Every scar got a story, every wrong made me right
They see glory, but they don t see the nights
When I wrote every line just to get me alive

I don t need your approval (Oh)
I don t need your applause (Oh)
I ve been carryin this weight (Oh)
I ve been breakin these walls (Oh)
If you don t understand me (Oh)
It s okay, that s fine (Oh)
Already wrote my future
I m just readin the lines

Leave me alone
Let me write my path
How I ve already written it
I don t need nobody tellin me who I am, no, no
Leave me alone
Let me live my truth
I ve paid dues for this moment
Every tear led me here to you
So just leave me alone

(Ooh-ooh)
I m exactly where I m supposed to be, oh
(Ooh-ooh)
I already wrote my destiny, just let me be

They keep tryna rewrite
What I survived (Oh, no)
Judgin chapters they never read inside (Oh, no)
I had faith when I didn t have a sign (Oh, no)
Had a pen, had a dream at the time (Oh, no)
I ain t perfect, but I m still chosen (Oh, no)
Heart cracked, but it s still open (Oh, no)
If I fell, I got back up again
That s the part they never mention, yeah

(Oh)
I don t move for the noise (Oh)
I don t fold for the crowd (Oh)
I ve been lost, I ve been found (Oh)
I know me better now (Oh)
If you love me, then trust me (Oh)
If you don t, step aside (Oh)
Already wrote my story (Oh)
I ain t changin a line

Leave me alone
Let me write my path
How I ve already written it
I don t need nobody tellin me who I am, no, no
Leave me alone (Ooh)
Let me live my truth
I ve paid dues for this moment
Every tear led me here to you
So just leave me alone

(Ooh-ooh)
I m exactly where I m supposed to be (Yeah), oh
(Ooh-ooh)
I already wrote my destiny, just let me be

I ve been fightin expectations
Tryna meet my own reflections
If you only see my past
You don t see my resurrection
I don t owe nobody nothin
But the best in me (Best in me)
I found peace when I stopped explainin my legacy
No more voices in my head
No more second-guessin
I been walkin with my purpose, countin every blessin

Leave me alone
Let me write my path (Let me write)
How I ve already written it
I survived everythin
That was meant to break me in half, no, no (Oh yeah)
Leave me alone
I ain t lost anymore (Anymore)
I know exactly who I am (Oh yeah)
And what I m doin this for
(I m doin it) For, yeah
Leave me alone

(Ooh-ooh) Yeah
I finally believe it (Oh-oh)
(Ooh-ooh) Oh-oh-oh, yeah
I already wrote my destiny, just let me be

Yeah, just let me be
I wrote this life for me
Ooh
