chandler owens - leave it all behind lyrics

holding on
quit holding on
quit holding on
to what we’ve left behind
what we’ve left behind
carry on, yeah
carry on
carry on
leave all of that behind
leave it all behind

i used to live in a town where everything was fine
but everything went down when i reached age 9
they turned on me and my whole family
destroyed my safety and sanity
now hatred is my only remedy
but i wanna move on from this enemy
everybody tells me that i’ve been through a lot
but you would only know the half if you were in my spot
whole church ran us out of town
they kicked us while we were down
i had to live in my grandma’s bas+m+nt
it was a church that taught me hatred

holding on
quit holding on
quit holding on
to what we’ve left behind
what we’ve left behind
carry on, yeah
carry on
carry on
leave all of that behind
leave it all behind
flash forward: fifteen, got kicked out of high school
they said i was a threat, in this country that’s habitual
they tried so hard to send me away
but here i am, and i’m here to stay
that’s the reason why i write these songs
all i want is to prove them wrong
as a kid i never felt free
so i write these songs to help kids like me
they’ll tell any kid in dark
to go sit in the dark
away from the others
with no loving mother
instead of a helping hand
they get hit with a ban
when all they need is more love
all they need’s attention
someone they can trust in
i know ’cause i was that kid once
but they’re open ’bout depression
suddenly they’re a threat and
they sit alone at lunch

holding on
quit holding on
quit holding on
to what we’ve left behind
what we’ve left behind
carry on, yeah
carry on
carry on
leave all of that behind
leave it all behind
i’ve been on this earth 17 years
and if there’s one thing that i’ve learned to fear
it’s all these voices in my head
they’ll drive me mad until i end up dead
all they ever do is bring up my past
but i’m done giving them laughs
i’m done with all the abuse
i’m done lighting this fuse
i’m not ready to lose
i’m not gonna let my past define me
i’m leaving all this baggage behind me
i’m hopping in the cab towards the light ahead
listen to what i said
i’m not gonna end up dead
i’m done letting my trauma define me
i think about how better off that i’ll be
i’ll finally be able to see
what it’s like to truly feel free

holding on
quit holding on
quit holding on
to what we’ve left behind
what we’ve left behind
carry on, yeah
carry on
carry on
leave all of that behind
leave it all behind
holding on
quit holding on
quit holding on
to what we’ve left behind
what we’ve left behind
carry on, yeah
carry on
carry on
leave all of that behind
leave it all behind
