Leave It Alone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All this time I'd never let you go
And now the same chains that kept you in
They're holding down my soul
I set you up, I gave you life
I dragged you out the fire
And now you knocked me down, you shut me out
And I can see it in your eyes!
Somehow you got it in your head,
That you can make it on your own
You were sheltered, loved and fed,
But you just couldn't leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
Well your heart was here
Resting on my lap
And I'd do it all again,
But I'm never coming back
Well I know I'm laying
Lying in the cold
Yeah, there's snow on the ground
And if I know myself
I'll be leaving down the road
I've been all around the world,
But I got nowhere to go
I gave into this lonely life
And you can't change me now
So leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
Leave it alone!
The ghosts are on the green
Each and every night
Oh, the distant light
That's the hardest part to take
That's the heart of all my pain
Lying in the cold
Oh, the distant light
In a hue we can't describe
Still we know
Could it all be over now
We've seen it all the while
There's no dimension to the clouds
The moon and the world around
That's the heart of all my pain
'Cause I don't want to go
Oh, the distant light
In a hue we can't describe
Still we know
