Lesley ft. Ruelle Lyrics

Lesley ft. Ruelle - Dave

...

[Verse 1: Dave]

Look

They say the universe, it works in a strange way

And it must be true because, we ain't from the same background or same place

But me and Lesley ended up on that same train

I'm talking everyday, I used to wake up around seven or eight

To catch the 9:06 from Norbury Station

Two different worlds in the same location and-

One day we ended up speaking

And I would talk about college, she would talk about meetings

And how she's planning on leaving

How she hates what she does but she needs it

I asked her what she was doing, it's the weekend

And she said, she said

[Chorus: Dave & Ruelle]

I don't know myself

I don't know myself no more

[Verse 2: Dave]

She used to be the life of the party for true

And now she going out hardly ever

Her man got her in the yard forever

And her friends wanna help but it's hard to tell her

Hard to let her know that her man's possessive and aggressive

And she can't even see it, but for them it's clear as day, she's in a situation

Her friend Hannah had a man that was manipulative

So, she could see it from a mile off

Turtleneck jumpers, makeup around the eye spots

All the signs were there

But Lesley made it seem a light affair

Said it wasn't right to share

Her boyfriend, he was a mystery man

I didn't know much about him, but he's been in the can

Name's Jason, he's a bad boy with no reasoning

To be honest, I don't know what Les' sees in him

'Cause she's a good girl with a sweet heart

But they've both got demons and a deep past

You know opposites attract, apparently

I never heard her talk about her family ever, uh-uh

He was all that she had

Until they had an argument and he stopped calling her back

And I don't know if there was more to the story than that

'Cause she plays things down but according to that

He went missing one day in the morning he ran

She's doing overtime, struggling affording the flat

'Til she, lost her job it fucked all of her plans

Couldn't pay the rent, borrowing and calling for cash

But Hannah she was there for her, cared for her

When I saw Les' she told me

[Chorus: Dave & Ruelle]

I don't know myself

I don't know myself no more

[Verse 3: Dave]

Les' saying, "I got nothing to live for

It's been raw, but David, I ain't never been this poor

There's no income, my boyfriend left me

So how the fuck am I going to survive when this kid's born?"

I said, "It's a blessing as mad as it is

And Les', I never even knew that you were having a kid"

Bro, she's four months pregnant, young and neglected

Single but I don't think she wants to accept it

So she's still texting exes trying to get this

Back on track but I don't think that she gets it

It's emotional obsession, clinical depression

Life is a lesson

And you ain't got to sit and cry

And Lesley, living in this gift called life

There's no better gift than the gift of life

So, can you handle it?

[Chorus: Dave & Ruelle]

I don't know myself

I don't know myself no more

[Verse 4: Dave]

But that changed her perspective

Late in December, her baby's expected to drop

She's accepted, excited, electric, pumped

Only got to wait a few months

Her and Hannah had lunch

Told her she's pregnant

And they're the closest of bredrins

So she didn't stunt to tell her, I think that it's an error

You ain't a mum for a day, you're a mum forever

Whatever, and you and Jason break up whenever

If I'm honest that's something you should have done together

She doesn't know that her and Jason are going out again

And Jason doesn't know that Lesley's carrying a child for them

She had daydreams of settling down with Jason, better 'cause now they're together it's wild

Feeling like she needs to call her friends and tell 'em 'cause while she's letting him down but most of them are never around

She calls Hannah the next day

Still tryna figure out the best way to tell her that she's getting back together with an ex-flame

So she left her a voicemail

Like "Yo Hannah, it's Les' can you call me back?

I wanna talk about the baby, you, me, Jason, all of that

I've been feeling like I need to get my aura back

I used to be so fucking confident

But these days, I swear that-"

[Chorus: Dave & Ruelle]

I don't know my self

I don't know myself no more

[Verse 5: Dave]

It's 3:30 Lesley was meant to get a scan

But today I think she's going home early

Tryna talk to Jason, tell him 'bout the kid

Addressing any reservations

Have that conversation

Middle of the summer and it's raining

Waiting at the train station

Hella cancellations

So she gets a taxi, sitting in a backseat

Blue jean jacket and a maxi

Actually, tired and her legs are aching

Touched the destination

Way faster than the cab driver's estimation

She put the key in the door

She, couldn't believe what she see on the floor

Some size five trainers, raging

Tears in her eyes, but it's cool 'cause they must be the neighbors

And Jason's in the bedroom fully naked

Lesley running up the stairs but she's making noise

And she can hear Jason's voice

Saying "Hide in the closet"

But he's made his choice

So, she bursts in saying
