All That I Am

Don’t leave me now I won’t go Pieces of you This is all that I am And now you come to me You’re going to miss me Asking me what’s wrong And I simply reply, “Nothing” And faintly smile Days have gone by As I am your painted child Yes you’re going to miss me Don’t leave me now I won’t go Pieces of you This is all that I am I have no family No parentals I am a rolling stone I know you’ve heard the song You’re going to miss me Look for me And find me no more you shall Every move I’ve made seems foul But you’re going to miss me “The funny thing is When you’re a rolling stone You tend to live against the wind But a stone weighs solid Therefore the wind cannot carry it So in other words You become a burden to bear”
