I'm leaving alone
I'm leaving it lie
When you waken I'll be gone
I would not beg for me
As I would not beg for you
Though I'd like to be the one
To see you through
Every step you have taken
Disappears with the tide
You're torn up and shaken
With changing your mind
You haven't got the grace
To say you'll finally decide
And you haven't got the strength
To stay and fight
Those people who surround you
Only want to see you weak enough to crawl
They'll lie for you decide for you
And buy up all your rights and all your wrongs
And they'll try to stop your singing
In the middle of your song
For they do not want you free
And they do not make you strong
But only drag you down
In the hole they're coming from
They say you are foolish in wanting the sun
Say you are selfish in learning to run
And they'll tell you that the darkness
Is a blessing in disguise
For you never have to notice
If you're sighted or you're blind
And they'll do their best
To keep you from the light
You're more than beginning
You're learning to fly
You feel like you're falling
But it passes in time
I hate to see a friend
Go down in flames without a song
So I'm waiting by the doorway
But I will not linger long
I'm leaving by night
I'm leaving alone
I'm leaving it lie
When you waken I'll be gone
I would not beg for me
As I could not beg for you
But I'd like to be the one
To see you through
I'm leaving by night I'm leaving alone I'm leaving it lie When you waken I'll be gone I would not beg for me As I would not beg for you Though I'd like to be the one To see you through Every step you have taken Disappears with the tide You're torn up and shaken With changing your mind You haven't got the grace To say you'll finally decide And you haven't got the strength To stay and fight Those people who surround you Only want to see you weak enough to crawl They'll lie for you decide for you And buy up all your rights and all your wrongs And they'll try to stop your singing In the middle of your song For they do not want you free And they do not make you strong But only drag you down In the hole they're coming from They say you are foolish in wanting the sun Say you are selfish in learning to run And they'll tell you that the darkness Is a blessing in disguise For you never have to notice If you're sighted or you're blind And they'll do their best To keep you from the light You're more than beginning You're learning to fly You feel like you're falling But it passes in time I hate to see a friend Go down in flames without a song So I'm waiting by the doorway But I will not linger long I'm leaving by night I'm leaving alone I'm leaving it lie When you waken I'll be gone I would not beg for me As I could not beg for you But I'd like to be the one To see you through Explain Request ×
