I ran a million miles
And heard a voice inside
I saw you as you faded
And all you left behind

Taking in the tide
I spread my arms out wide
I try to pull you closer
As I inhale the sky

You kept me down far too long
Now I see I was wrong
Leave me be, leave my place

I don't care where you go
Just as long as you know
You'll leave me be, leave my place

I can't shine like you
I know you want me to
Your tranquilizing eyes said
Can't we start anew?

I won't go insane
Refuse to feel this pain
I can't shine like you
I know you want me to
Your tranquilizing eyes said
Can't we start anew?

I won't go insane
Refuse to feel this pain
I'm giving up my search for
Someone else to blame

You kept me down far too long
Now I see I was wrong
Leave me be, leave my place

I don't care where you go
Just as long as you know
You'll leave me be, leave my place

Longing for the hand that used hold me
Longing for the land that I called home
Longing for the streets we used to wander
I wonder

Leave me be, leave my place

I don't care where you go
Just as long as you know
You'll leave me be, leave my place
