Never really said too much

Afraid it wouldn't be enough

Just try to keep my spirits up

When there's no point in grieving

Doesn't matter anyway

Words could never make me stay

Words will never take my place

Dm E

When you know I'm leaving

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone

G Dm

Something I rely on to get home

One I can feel at night

A naked light, a fire to keep me warm

Even in the daylight, shine on

And when it's late at night you can look inside

You won't feel so alone

You know we've been down that road

What seems a thousand times before

My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons

That roll out underneath my heels

And you don't know how bad it feels

To leave the only one that I have ever believed in
