Leave My Shadow

I've been running back and forth in my mind

Trying to find a reason or a rhyme

Trying to pull you from the rain

Just to watch you leave again

The way you did before

I've been watching a broken clock in this room

Doesn't move much, but there's a tune

I walk backwards down the hall

Just so I could just replay all

And leave you where you stand

So here, here I go

Take my shell, but leave my shadow

And take all you want from me

I am hollow, but I am free

This house is not a home

The bricks that build you

Will break your bones

When I die

I want to see

All the beauty

I was meant to see
