You sit there talking about
how you want something else
and I nod and agree
as if I don’t know what you really mean

It’s times like these, I remember, I am severed
right down the middle of my heart
And sometimes I bleed, until I don’t recognize me
And it’s scary to think
You don’t really care

How can I be here
When I am still way back there
Lost in a dying crowd
Get me out! Get me out!

And I’m beggin, beggin you please
Don’t leave me in your past
Choke down your words that won’t let me last

I’m beggin, beggin you please
Don’t leave me here alone
I have a lot goin’, but without you I’m broken

Just kill me now, before it gets harder somehow
I’m barely breathing when I get to thinking
and I need a way out.

I know it’s my choice to remain by this grave
it’s become a haven, for the changing, that is comin’
so here I stay. I’m dying anyway.

But I see a future and it’s lighting up for someone else
and it’s hard to tell
if I belong

I’m beggin, beggin you please
Don’t leave me in the past
Choke down your words that won’t let me last

I’m beggin, beggin you please
Don’t leave me here alone
I’ve got a lot goin’, but without you I’m broken

And it’s hard to describe the trouble I have staying alive
I am stuck in my fear
It straggles and holds
Before I can stop it from closing my throat

You have my heart in pieces
Go ahead and keep it
I don’t need it anymore
Where I am going, I’m sure

I’m beggin, beggin you please
Don’t leave me in the past
choke down your words that won’t let me last

I’m beggin, beggin you please
Don’t leave me here alone
I have a lot goin’, but without you I’m broken
