Axium [David Cook's Band]-Leave Behind (Live)+Lyrics

recorded in 2003.
this is a different version from the one on their CD Blindsided.
Music / Lyrics By
David Cook & Jeff Shrout


Seeing all my mistakes etched in stone
Peeling all the layers of my soul
and I feel alone
You stand beside me
a shadow of myself and I feel hollow
And I can't swallow
No it's not fair
Somebody should have told me it would be this hard

So give me no more promises
and I'll tell you no more lies
It's not supposed to be this way

Preach your steady hand
Reach your promised land
With or without me
'cause I've fallen far away
To fumble light of day and I cease to be
But take comfort in the fact
That I won't be hanging on your back as you go forward
So say your prayers and say goodnight
Whether you're wrong whether you're right
I know it's hard
To be who you want to be

No time to sit and comprehend I've made up my mind
To be a martyr for the cause
And I can't pretend to mind
And you stand beside me
an outline of myself and I feel okay
And I seem okay
Oh it's not fair
Nobody ever told me this would never end
And it happens once again
oh
So go and lead your own life
and leave me to mine
I'm not prepared to die

Preach your steady hand
Reach your promised land
With or without me
'cause I've fallen far away
To fumble light of day and I cease to be
But take comfort in the fact
that I won't be hanging on your back
as you go forward
So say your prayers and say goodnight
Whether you're wrong
whether you're right
I know it's hard
To be who you want to be

Preach your steady hand
Reach your promised land
With or without me
'cause I've fallen far away
To fumble light of day
and I cease to be
But take comfort in the fact
that I won't be hanging on your back as you go forward
So say your prayers and say goodnight
Whether you're wrong
whether you're right
I know it's hard
To Be who you want to be
yeah
To be who you want to be

This is one of the top 3 songs Cook's written (with Searchlights and A Daily AntheM). Just amazing.
