Leaving

She is cold my friend we must understand that this was going to happen again
The birds will sing, not so inspiring and I lack the wisdom
Of how to love
I wish I knew how to feel
I know it's hard to read the stories on my hands
If only you, could understand
I am not the man I was, no longer a hungry soul
Can't you see I am my own worst enemy
My story, will unfold
I'll just keep drowning
Burying these things within
Worries eat away at me, for I have sinned
Sometimes I think of you
It tears me up but I always knew
You'd leave the things you need
To please the ones you put in front of me
I wish I could come home again, I'm branded a fool
I wish I could be whole again, I've left too much behind
A disembodied soul, trying to have me for it's own
Put me to rest for my best is not the best
God I'm not sure, if I can pass this test
I'll just keep drowning
Burying these things within
Worries eat away at me, for I have sinned
Sometimes I think of you
It tears me up but I always knew
You'd leave the things you need
To please the ones you put in front of me
You're just trying to please,
And I know that you're keeping things away from me, It's not easy
You lost yourself along the way, wandering these streets for a place to stay
(I know that you're all alone, though I said I'd be forever yours)
You're just trying to please,
And I know that you're keeping things away from me, It's not easy
Turning away from this, pretending we're not the ones you miss
You'll just keep waiting,
Always yearning for her hand
The virgin lamb
When she's with
Another man
I don't even want to pretend
That we don't want to go back again
With every minute mistake that you crave
You can come back to me when you see my grave
