let me leave

wide awake in clothes i haven't changed

for days and days as the sun creeps through the window on my face

just let it go

you say i'm like a ghost

my skin is white as paper as i haunt the halls of my home

i scream like it would stop the ache

your colors start to show

i know what i have to do

but it kills me

rewriting all the songs

i'd change your name but i know you'll still take everything to heart

just let it go

i wonder if we'll die with hope

or if we'll be counting the sins we carry deeply as we go

i just wanted you to have a better life

not always shying away from your thoughts on the inside

i could set you free

i put you on a shelf knowing that i'd be

too far to reach you from down in hell

the sun slumps back as i burn your dreams

to the best of my ability so just let me leave

i scream like it would stop the ache

your colors start to show

i know what i have to do

but it kills me

sleep; if anything

i'll dream

it's only then i'll have you

i know what i have to do

but it kills me
