lyrics

sunday night
my phone's ringing
this ain't right
what's she thinking
Ii rely on quiet moments
to get by. i lost myself in all this noise
i need to find some peace of mind

please just leave me alone
i'll stop picking up my phone
i'll turn off my notifications for the day
maybe longer if i swear
i don't need to be aware
of every little thing you feel the need
to say
go away

not everyone
is like you
always right
excuse you
if you wonder why they always leave
it's 'cause you don't know boundaries
it's personal, you know it's you, not me

please just leave me alone
i'll stop picking up my phone
i'll turn off my notifications for the day
maybe longer if i swear
i don't need to be aware
of every little thing you feel the need
to say

there's no use in telling you
i know that there's no getting through
i'll leave it for the next one to figure out
and if you need an alibi
i hate to say i'm not your guy
i'm leaving and here's the reason why

you never leave me along
i'll stop picking up my phone
i'll turn off my notifications for the day
and forever, i swear
i don't need to be aware
of every little thing you feel the need
to say
