When I leave you

I will leave you 

Things that might not help you

Things that might 

Problems that I never solved

Dreams to keep you up at night 

As I leave you

I will leave you

Things that stick for ever 

Things that slide

Mysteries I swallowed whole



Happiness I couldn't share I will leave you

Promises I never kept I will leave you

Stories that I never told 

Principles betrayed or sold 



Love I tried to spread too wide I will leave you

Muscles you can grow in hate I will leave you

Summer darkness 

Winter light 

Young mans shame and 

Old mans pride 



When I leave you

I will hate to leave you 

That's the heat that grows 

With growing old



So never let me leave you 

Never let me leave you 

Cold
