I Leave You

You've been chasing butterflies for too long
I have watched you from the guarded wall
You could hold beauty in your hand
It's time for you to understand
You can't take her with you when you go down
I've seen surgeons push back the years
Postponing death, your dread, your fear
I've seen the old ones lit up by years
Made strong by the wind that drives away their tears
But you can't take him with you when you go down
Hey, gonna love you
And I'm not take your sorry
Hey, gonna leave you
I'm the man to make you worry
Oh, gonna leave you
And if I make you sorry
Who am I to make you sorry?
