Leave It Behind

Come with me, take my hand

We could run away, we should run away

We can leave everything behind

They'll ask where we are and get no answer

We'll be far away

We don't need those things:

boxes of pictures,

things labeled memories,

the dialogues of fake stories

We could leave it all behind

With understanding and forgiveness

We can face our pasts 

and all that we've witnessed

It's done and we can't go back

We should leave it all behind

We can leave all the useless things,

all the heartbreak life brings

You know my words are true

Stop thinking it over

Follow me as I forget it all

Don't say goodbye, you can come with me

You can't stay and go, you have to move

Move forward and you can never lose

I'll tell you all the things you told me

of all the things we could be

If we just leave it all behind

Face the facts and what we've witnessed

There's nothing to say

You're heart doesn't need to break

We should leave it all behind
