Leave You Behind
It's been a long time
Since I've believed in you
It's been too long
Since I turned to you to heal this hurt
I don't recall
I can't remember
When I began running from you
A maze
An endless game
That I'll never win
And looking at you now
I know you'll never win your way back in
I feel bad
For not feeling bad anymore
I've walked away
Locked that door
Moved on
Maybe I wasn't strong then
But I am now
And somehow
I survived you
I made it through
It was never easy loving you
But I did the best I could
And I would give all I had
To feel just a little bad
Leaving you behind
But I'm tired
And can't lose anymore time
So you can have whatever it is you're after
You can keep all the memories
Of you and me
More than half of them ended in tears
With you
Leaving track marks
All over my heart
So take them all
You can keep everything
You think you need
When we both know
It's me
You still want
But whatever love I felt for you
Died a long time ago
And now I know
You were never it for me
And I hate how much time it took
For me to see
So come what may
You can shake
And break me
You can turn every page
And try to find a happy ending
Where you and I
Make it out alive
I wish I felt anything
Just enough to give you something
To pull you through
But the truth is
You killed whatever was between us
And now
I'm ready
To leave you behind
