LEAVING YOU BEHIND becky perry & the verbas ORIGINAL

LEAVING YOU BEHIND

Words & music: Katie Verba

Keep me from secrets
And betray my belief in you
Think of me always
Til your promises all break into
Splinters and shards that
I held to my heart

You flew me so high
How'd you know I'd survive
The fall
You did not see at all
You did not hear my
Call, on my knees
Oh please don't leave me

Here I'm alone
I can't believe this is home for me
Can't see the sky
Or feel the sun shine

I see these glimpses of you
And you don't know what to do
You stop flying past
I guess your guilt didn't last

Now you're gone and I can't believe you
Left me, why can't I leave you behind?
My heart still makes you mine
But I can't turn back the time

Oh your love surrounds me
But you're gone, so what enshrouds my eyes?
All I see are lies
When my memories make you

My love holds me under skeleton trees and the nights of thunder
If I'd never cared for you, these horrid things wouldn't happen to me
But my heart wants to carry on through endless nights and never dawn
Just thinking of you, and I know, I'm sure, it's a love I've got no use for

Now I know I shouldn't have believed you
You left so why can't I leave you behind
My memories make you mine
My dreams turn back the time
Oh your ghost surrounds me
You're gone so what enshrouds my eyes
All I see are lies
When my memories make you mine

Don't wanna hold you tight
My heart won out in a romance but
It lost in a knife fight

And I'm free of the past
Can feel the sunlight at last
The trees have fallen away
And your ghost faded to gray

Now I'm glad that I can't see you
Stay gone and I will leave you behind
My memories don't rewind
And I sleep in peace at night

Show my heart the sun and
Let me open up my eyes
And I will fill my mind
With new memories made in time
