Left Behind

Alright, let's go

I'm clinging onto you so tight, I know it hurts just a little

You say: We will be alright, but I have my doubts

But it's better to be holding you while you pass through

Than not holding you at all

An elephant is in the room

Don't look, and don't try to feed it

You always want me on your terms

You can't have your cake and eat it

I don't want you to go without me

But when you do won't you put yourself in my shoes?

'Cause I know this feeling

I'm so tired of being left behind

Left behind

Left behind

Every time

Awake, in bed, in my own head, one day rolls into another

It looks like you've been having fun, at least that's what I told my mother

Maybe it's better to not have someone at all

Then no one else can let you down when they forget to call

I keep having this weird dream where you're about to go to war

And I'm just left there in the kitchen, staring at the door

I think I'm done with this

'Cause if you've got no one at least you've got no one to miss

Is it better to be holdin' you while you pass through

Or not holdin' you at all?

I don't want you to go without me

But when you do won't you put yourself in my shoes?

Because I know this feeling, I'm so tired of dreamin'

That you're not leavin'

Oh, I'm so tired of being left behind

Left behind

Left behind

Everytime

Left behind
