Mama was a puddle, I didn't understand Till I was the water in a shallow stand

Darkness gripped her in the middle of the day Turned out the lights and stayed out of her way

Papa was a cut out with a suit and tie A cardboard man who never could cry

Traded his soul for a fortune with a smile on his face He always did swear he'd make it out of this place

And they left me alone, yeah they left me alone

Found my father and every man I loved Together I'm told they're supposed to be enough

But if they don't like me when they strip it all away

Too much to come home to at the end of the day

Oh, they'll leave me alone, yeah they'll leave me alone

Oh, they'll leave me alone, yeah they left me

Alone, drowning in my dark

Alone, can't rewrite history but I can make a mark

If I could only figure out where to start

This body feels as empty as December It's been that way as long as I can remember

But my voices cut the silence with their shouts Ain't nothing strong enough to stamp them out

I wish they'd leave me alone, I wish they'd leave me alone

But then I'd be alone, please don't leave me alone
