Lyrics — “Leave the Light Behind” by @Unleashed

[Verse 1] I saw the leaving in your eyes Before your lips could make it true You held my hand like one last kindness Like goodbye had hurt you too I could have begged, I could have broken I could have cursed the morning sky But love that has to be imprisoned Was never mine to keep alive [Chorus] So I’ll leave the light behind If it helps you find your way I’ll carry what is broken And let you walk away I won’t say I don’t need you I won’t lie and call it peace But if your heart has turned toward him Then I’ll take my pain and leave [Verse 2] I still wake up reaching for you Before I know that you are gone And I still make a little room For someone who has moved on They say someday this gets easier They say sorrow learns to bend But they don’t know I lost my lover And my closest, dearest friend [Chorus] So I’ll leave the light behind If it helps you find your way I’ll carry what is broken And let you walk away I won’t say I don’t need you I won’t lie and call it peace But if your heart has turned toward him Then I’ll take my pain and leave [Bridge] I hope he learns your quiet mornings I hope he hears what you don’t say I hope he holds the fragile places I was never strong enough to save And if some night you almost miss me Let the feeling pass you by I’ll be picking up the pieces From the day we said goodbye [Final Chorus] So I’ll leave the light behind Though it breaks my heart to do I’ll bless the road before you Though it leads away from me to you I won’t turn love into chains I won’t make sorrow beg or plead If your happiness is waiting there Then I’ll take my pain and leave [Outro] I’ll gather up my sorrow And the pieces of my heart And leave
