The Only
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.
Don't stand by my window.
Don't knock on my door.
Don't ever enter my chamber.
Don't you bother comin' by anymore.
Leve me alone with my fever.
Leave me alone with my
Leave me alone where you left me.
Leave me alone with my wound.
They won't let me go, no.
They can't let me out, no.
They won't let me walk, no.
And I'm not the only,
They can't let us go, no.
They won't let me out, no.
And don't chase a life that is leaving.
Don't chase a life that is lost.
Say on you side "I got reason
To be alone with my wound."
They won't let me go, no.
They can't let me out, no.
They won't let me walk, no.
And I'm not the only,
They can't let us go, no.
They won't let me out, no. (x2)
I'm ... sanity
.....
From all i ever owned
Forever sanity
My heart is on my sleeve
All i ever owned
