Lyrics

All this time I'd never let you go And never seem chasing kept you in there Holding down my soul I set you up I give you life I dragged you out the fire Now you knock me down and shut me out And I can see it in your eyes So, now you've got it in your head That you could make it on your own You were sheltered, loved and fed But you just couldn't leave it alone Leave it alone Leave it alone Leave it alone Leave it alone Leave it alone Leave it alone Leave it alone Leave it alone But your heart was here Resting on my lap And I'd do it all again But I'm never coming back Well, I know I'm lying Lying in the cold Yeah, the snow on the ground And if I know myself I'll be leaving down the road I've been all around the world But I've got nowere to go I give into this lonely life and you can't change me now So leave it alone Leave it alone Leave it alone Leave it alone Leave it alone Leave it alone Leave it alone Leave it alone The ghosts are on the green Each and every night Oh, the distant light That's the hardest part to take That's the heart of all my pain Lying in the cold Ah, the distant light In a hue we can't describe Still we know Could it all be over now? We've seen it all the while There's no dimension to the clouds The moon and world around That's the heart of all my pain 'Cause I don't wanna go Oh, the distant light In a hue we can't describe Still we know
