Leave Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
She said, "Love me" so I love her (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
She said, "Leave me" so I left (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Then I went to California (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I ain't never comin' back

I got a high five from a brother (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I got bloodstains on the bed (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I ain't sayin' that I love her (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
But this bitch is gonna drive me mad
I said this bitch is gonna drive me mad (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]
You got just what I been looking for
But you can't bring yourself to say no
And I ain't never gonna let you go
I kept wishing I would die, oh
The whole plane ride home
And I wish I could
I know I should leave you alone
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
I worship since I met you (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I fell down to my knees (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
And when no one would accept ya (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Throw myself up on a cross and bleed

I seen a dark cloud coming over (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I seen some evil shit in her head (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
But she rode me like no other (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
But this bitch is gonna drive me mad
I said this bitch is gonna drive me mad (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus]
You got just what I been looking for
But you can't bring yourself to say no
And I ain't never gonna let you go
I kept wishing I would die, oh
That whole plane ride home
And I wish I could
I know I should leave you alone
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You got just what I been looking for
But you can't bring yourself to say no
And I ain't never gonna let you go
I kept wishing I would die, oh
That whole plane ride home
And I wish I could
I know I should leave you alone
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Although it’s possible that Post Malone could be using a an unhealthy infatuation to metaphorically refer to fame, it’s just as likely (if not more) that he’s just talking about someone he’s in love with.
