In Greek mythology, Leitus (Λήιτος) was the son of Alector (Alectryon) and Polybule or of Lacritus and Cleobule, brother of Clonius, from Boeotia. He sailed with the Argonauts and afterwards, as one of the suitors of Helen, fought in the Trojan War, where he killed twenty enemies, including Phylacus. He commanded 12 ships.
Leitus is one of the seven Achaean leaders (others being Teucer, Thoas, Meriones, Antilochus, Peneleus and Deipyrus) in front of whom Poseidon appeared during the Trojans' attack on the Achaean ships, urging them to fight back instead of acting like cowards.
Leitus was wounded by Hector, but in the end, he was the only Boeotian leader to safely return home after the Trojan War. He also brought back the remains of Arcesilaus, another Boeotian chieftain, and buried them near the city of Lebadea. His own tomb was at Plataeae.

Ledisi
verse: tell me how
how did we get here
we keep runnin from all the answers
and leaving me here with questions
its not fare
why you never there
you keep leaving me here alone
please tell me what
what you wanna do
my heart belongs to you
and i dont know what to do
you say
that you still love me
its not in your actions so whats the distractions
were falling
falling apart
feels like our ending
its not like the start
please wont you tell me the truth
instead of always just leaving me here alone
choruse: alone
dont wanna be
alone
dont wanna be here alone(3x)
please wont u tell me the truth
instead of always just leaving me here alone
verse: please tell me
how did you and i become
then change from we to me
i see you changed
and im the one to blame
cause i noticed everything
and i never said a thing
so say whats on your mind
so we dont waste our time
tryna hold on to loose ties
oh baby
please wont you tell me the truth
instead of always just leaving me here alone
chorus: alone
dont wanna be
alone
dont wanna be here alone(3x)
please wont u tell me the truth
instead of always just leaving me here alone
bridge: if im apart of you
and your apart of me
then why cant we talk it out
and bring it back to we
you said forever youd never leave
its worth more than everything
and thats what i believe
the choses your making are breaking us up
your making it hard to identify love
im tryna keep us together
the only way to make it better
is dont let me be alone
chorus: alone
dont wanna be
alone
dont wanna be here alone(3x)
please wont u tell me the truth
