Lyrics — Leaving You Behind
Don't you come around knocking late at night
Thinkin' you can make this broken shadow right
I've spent too many hours drowning in the pain
Standing in the cold of your endless rain
I can't believe you'd show up at my door
Looking for the man that I was before
So I'm putting out the fire
Stepping off the wire
Letting go of every lie you sold
Yeah, I'm burning down the bridges
Washing clean the ditches
Leaving you out in the freezing cold
Like I did with all those memories in my mind
Yeah, I'm finally leaving you behind
What the hell was going through your head today?
Thinking you could sweep the ashes all away
Uninvited guest trying to start again
Playing with my heart like a long-lost friend
But you won't get the satisfaction of my tears
I've wasted on you all these bitter years
So I'm putting out the fire
Stepping off the wire
Letting go of every lie you sold
Yeah, I'm burning down the bridges
Washing clean the ditches
Leaving you out in the freezing cold
Like I did with all those memories in my mind
Yeah, I'm finally leaving you behind
And it's hard to breathe when the smoke clears out
But I'm finding my voice through all the doubt
You were my habit, my heaviest crown
But I'm packing my bags and I'm leaving town
There ain't no room for you here anymore
I'm locking up and closing the door
And I'm putting out the fire
Stepping off the wire
Letting go of every lie you sold
Yeah, I'm burning down the bridges
Washing clean the ditches
Leaving you out in the freezing cold
Like I did with all those memories in my mind
Yeah, I'm finally leaving you behind
Yeah, I'm leaving you behind
No more tears to cry
Just the open road and the quiet sky
Leaving you behind...
