vii. behind

a song :')

v. i

im walking towards you with my

head down

im breathing in and out and keep my

eyes low

i'll stand and watch you;

i'll make sure you have everything you ever wanted

even if it ruins my soul, i'd follow you around for a lifetime

i'd leave it all behind

i'd leave me behind

chorus

you smiled and nodded 

but you just poked and prodded

at my blood and sweat

at my anguish and silent cries

and i was ruined by the flicker in your eyes that said 

'if only you would love me like the moonlight'

and then you leave me behind 

to chase your happiness

i tear myself apart to keep your heart light

i burn my world to the ground just to keep you warm

i wasted all my years

i shed so many tears

looking for your smile

i left myself behind

for your happiness

v.2

it's my life but i gave it all 

to you

even though i knew

you would never see me through

you know i always wanted to

try to help you

but it just dawned on me

of couse i love you 

and you love me

but i would be easy to lose

chorus

you smiled and nodded

but you just poked and prodded

at my blood and sweat

at my anguish and silent cries

and i was ruined by the flicker in your eyes that said

'if only you would love me like the moonlight'

and then you leave me behind

to chase your happiness

i tear myself apart to keep your heart light

i burn my world to the ground just to keep you warm

i wasted all my years

i shed so many tears

looking for your smile

i left myself behind

for your happiness

bridge

i threw caution to the wind when i changed my name

i brought you the very best, wishing i could be

the very best girl

and i gave you my bloody heart

i gave you all my years,

i burned myself down

but you've never lived without me

so what would you do if i...

chorus ii

break free

leave this ruin and mourning 

create a dream in the daytime

and i'd never see that look in your eyes 

that said 'if you only you loved me like the moonlight'

if i could leave it all behind

if i could leave you behind

what would you do?

still i'd tear myself apart to keep your heart light

i'd still  burn my world to the ground just to keep you warm

i'd still waste all my years

i'd still shed all my tears

looking for your smile

and

i left myself behind

for your happiness
