Brynn Cartelli Leader Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I didn't mean to be the fuel in your fire
At least I'm keepin' you warm in my arms
You always come to me, come to me cryin'
I can't sit on the sideline anymore
But I'm honored you think I'm stronger than I am

[Chorus]
You paint me as your leader
Even when it's washed away
Even when I say I need ya
When I say I'm not okay
Guess I'll only be your leader
Every single day
It's a burden that I'm bleedin'
So I cover it in paint
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, it's not mutual, this love
'Cause I'd do anything for ya
But I'm selfish if I'm helpless on the floor
Can't do this anymore, can't be your leader

[Verse 2]
I'm problematic, I'm in trouble again
Mess with my friends and I'm gonna have to face ya
But if by magic I'm on the other end
I'm always left alone, I know I'll be nameless
But I'm honored you think I'm stronger than I am

[Chorus]
'Cause you paint me as your leader
Even when it's washed away Even when I say I need ya
When I say I'm not okay
Guess I'll only be your leader
Every single day
It's a burden that I'm bleedin'
So I cover it in paint

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, it's not mutual, this love
'Cause I'd do anything for ya
But I'm selfish if I'm helpless on the floor
And I'm so damn close, you know I see the door
I hate to draw a blank on what I'm fighting for
If only you cared for me just a little bit more
You would never ignore
[Chorus]
That I'm painted as your leader
Even when it's washed away
Even when I say I need ya
When I say I'm not okay
I'll only be your leader
Every single day
It's a burden that I'm bleedin'
So I cover it in paint

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, it's not mutual, this love
'Cause I'd do anything for ya
But I'm selfish if I'm helpless on the floor
Can't do this anymore, can't be your leader

[Outro]
Can't be your leader
