World You Left Behind
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.
I try to sleep to kill the pain when I wake it's still the same
Cause I'm living in this world you left behind
Just like a broken piece of glass you have swept me aside to pass
Leaving shattered dreams with a lonely heart and mind
Well here I go again it's just like yesterday the pain is deep within my heart to stay
I'm just a fool to sit and cry wasting years before I die
In this lonely world this world you left behind
[ steel ]
Well here I go again...
