Leave yourself behind,
For me to remember a small part of you.
Let me have just one last look,
Let me see the color in your eyes.
Leave yourself behind.
Turn around before you go,
Will you allow me to have one last kiss?
I want to feel the warmth you once had,
Before you turned cold, before you died.
Leave yourself behind.
Hold me as you have before,
Stroke my hair and touch my face ever so lightly.
Lean down and whisper into my ear,
Let me hear the voice that has been haunting my lonley mind.
Leave yourself behind.
I wasn't enough to make you happy,
I know you escaped the pain, and not me.
But before you go,
Will you please asure me,
and tell me that you are okay, just one last time?
Leave yourself behind.
I fight against losing you,
even though you are gone.
I can never feel you,
or breathe you in anymore.
I can never hear the softness in your voice,
as you said 'I love you'.
I can never see the color in your eyes,
the warmth in your hold,
the voice you held.
And now it is all only a memory,
a washed up shell in my mind.
Because this is all I have of you.
This is all you left behind.
If I could have only one more chance,
to see and to hold you,
I would.
I'd give my life up for the feeling of your smile,
and for the touch of your skin against mine.
For you,
I would leave myself behind.
