Leave Me To Die

She left me there to die
My chest hurts, I'm empty
She ran off with my heart
Not the first time, I got plenty
I crawl back into your arms
For the first time in over a year
How did you love again?
There is so much that I fear
Its now 6am
I'm waiting for the world to wake
I've got to warn them all
And tell them what's at stake
I'm reaching for the moon
I'll be there someday soon

This love is ripping me, ripping me apart
Now hate is gripping me, gripping me, I start
To make my way to the fork in the road
And I dont know where to go

Find refuge at the bar
I'm drowning in sorrow
So long to sober days
There is no tomorrow
A stranger in my house
Who are you? What do you want from me?
Reflection in the mirror
Used to be me, my past haunts me
Just leave me alone
To the darkness of my room
My body turns to dust
Sweep me up with the broom
Just wasting in the bed
I wonder if I'm dead

This love is ripping me, ripping me apart
Now hate is gripping me, gripping me, I start
To make my way to the fork in the road
And I dont know where to go
I thought I was stronger, but lately I just cant take it
Oh noo, just leave me to die
If God says he needs me just tell Him that I cant make it
Don't save me, just leave me to die
