Let Me Be The One
Mmm... yeah...
Slagga...
You keep giving me reasons to turn around...
That's what makes this so hard.
You're always calling, always on my mind,
Saying you'd love me better every time.
You see the things he never seems to see,
And sometimes, baby, you make me believe.
Every time I leave,
I see it in your eyes,
If my heart were free,
maybe I'd be by your side.
But loving you would mean breaking someone too—
So tell me,
what am I supposed to do?
Don't make me wonder
What we could've been.
Don't make me want you
When I belong to him.
(Background vocals: Don't make me choose...) 'Cause part of me knows—
I'd fall for you.
You wanna be the one,
Slagga,
The one who holds me when I break.
You keep giving me a kind of love
I'm too afraid to take.
Maybe you could love me better,
Maybe you'd treat me right.
But I already gave my heart away—
So I can't give you mine.
(Background vocals: No, no...
Even if I want to...)
DEA by day, chasing trouble through the streets,
Last Z by night,
whole armies at your feet.
Everybody knows when that whale comes online,
QUAD sees Slagga and they know they'll be fine.
Wrenches stacked high, diamonds disappear,
New event drops — you're already there.
But I don't care about your power
Or what you spend—
I fell for the man behind it all instead.
(Background vocal: That's the problem...) You say,
“Just give me one night,”
But you know
where I need to be.
And every time you get too close—
It gets harder
to leave.
You wanna be the one,
Slagga,
The one who holds me when I break.
You keep giving me a kind of love
I'm too afraid to take.
Maybe you could love me better,
Maybe you'd treat me right.
But I already gave my heart away—
So I can't give you mine.
(Female ad-lib: Don't look at me like that...
You know I
want to stay.)
No badge tonight... No battles tonight...
No Last Z,
no rallies,
Just you and I.
You're looking at me
Like I'm already yours...
And I'm trying to remember
What I'm fighting for.
Slagga...
If I didn't feel something,
This would be easy.
I wouldn't have to leave.
You could've been the one,
Slagga,
In another place and time.
Maybe
I could've given you This stubborn heart of mine.
You can carry QUAD tomorrow,
Be their whale another night.
But God knows part of me wants you— And that don't make
it right. (Gospel harmonies: No,
no, no...) I can't love you halfway.
Maybe in another life...
Maybe if we'd met first...
But not tonight, Slagga.
I have to go home...
Before I change my mind.
