1.	Leave You Behind 02:59	lyrics
When you play these games That I can see Then you call my name late at night I can't breathe So then you call my number Just to pretend Well the morning comes And you decide To leave me behind You leave me behind You leave me behind Well holy smokes You've been gone two weeks again Then you pop in Like you've been here ever since I can't breathe So now you call my number Just to pretend Then the morning comes And you decide You leave me behind Ya leave me behind You leave me behind (You leave me behind) You leave me behind You leave me Lie in bed By myself in thought again Waiting for you like I said But you came and left And then you call my number Just to pretend Well the morning came and I decide To leave you behind I'll leave you behind I'll leave you (I'll leave you) I'll leave you behind I'll leave you I'll leave you Leave you, leave you, leave you Leave you Behind

about

Over the course of its five tracks, which skip across a genre lake like a steadfast pebble refusing to become submerged, It Gets Better showcases Tsewole’s vision through stylistic avenues of indie-pop, jazz, rock, soul, R&B, and psych. Led by March single “Leave You Behind,” a song about letting go and working through trauma, the EP spans a lyrical spectrum across the various stages of grief, from denial (“Give Me Time”), to anger (“Hater”), to depression (“Couped Up”), and finally, to acceptance (“Nothin’ To Me” and the aforementioned lead single).
