The One I Left Behind
Verse: You tell me the world stops when I walk up to your door Your heart skips a beat when your eyes land upon my drawer How am I supposed to tell you I don't feel any sparks? I don't wanna run away with your fragile heart The picture of us is now out of its frame But I slip it back in once you call my name I feel so guilty for telling these white lies Should I save myself or take off this disguise? Pre-Chorus: I've gone in too deep And I am the one to blame Can't help but weep Even though I started this game Chorus: Staring at an empty wall Counting down the days Until I'm not spending every second Wishing you away If my tears are raindrops Then it only pours once you leave I have to keep my mask on To preserve your sanity Who should be in the front of my mind? You, or me, the one I left behind. Verse: When you talk to me I just want to escape I'm the evil villain with an invisible cape Never thought I'd evolve into the one who made me cry But I'll wear the mask as long as you can see the blue sky Pre-Chorus: I'll beg for forgiveness Drop down to my knees When I tell you it's our last kiss I won't stop saying "please forgive me" Chorus: Staring at an empty wall Counting down the days Until I'm not spending every second Wishing you away If my tears are raindrops Then it only pours once you leave I have to keep my mask on To preserve your sanity Who should be in the front of my mind? You, or me, the one I left behind. Bridge: I'm sorry I had to be the one I despise But since you met me, I see color in your eyes Don't want that go back to shades of white Please forgive me, I never wanted this day to turn to night Chorus: Staring at an empty wall Counting down the days Until I'm not spending every second Wishing you away If my tears are raindrops Then it only pours once you leave I have to keep my mask on To preserve your sanity Who should be in the front of my mind? You, or me, the one I left behind. Outro: Oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Don't wanna leave you like this Im sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Don't wanna leave me like this © 2013 Sarahthirk |
