And If I Leave

If I leave It wasn’t you it was me Running from a future I couldn’t see And a heart I couldn’t believe A man I could never be And if I leave Don’t ask me why I don’t know I suppose I’m running from a shadow That I can’t outgrow And if I leave It’s better for you I could tell you not to cry But you’ll cry I’ll be crying too But when the tears dry We can start over new And if I leave Remember who I was A man who was not yet a man Yet a man in love And if I leave I leave in pain, in shame Knowing things won’t be the same But with everything that’ll change Who I am remains in me I love you in advance Just in case I leave
