Lyrics
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.
Holding on to something that will never come back
Your childhood’s gone and we’re moving
Every moment will pass
And the dream you sold to pay for some romantic affair
Was the lie you told yourself when no one else was there
God knows all of the roads I’ve travelled
Lying lowly beneath the shadows
All the time wishing I was giving more
More
You gotta give more
You gotta give more
To keep this dream alive
You gotta give more
You gotta give more
So we aren’t left behind
So surreal
This kaleidoscoped reality
Wasted years
Tryna live a fantasy
Sick and tired of this mask I’m wearing
Tied and bound to a cross I’m bearing
All the time wishing I was giving more
More
You gotta give more
You gotta give more
To keep this dream alive
You gotta give more
You gotta give more
So we aren’t left behind
