You say, “Get out of here,
Leave as fast as you can.”
My heart starts to disappear
Like footsteps lost in sand
Leave behind every part of me
Learn to let go
Further from my friends and family
For a life of my own
I won’t escape
You say, “It’s not as it seems,
Go where you’ll be safe.”
For the first time I think,
“I can’t save the day.”
How can I leave the chaos in my home
And leave you to die?
How can you think to push me alone
And leave me alive?
No, I won’t leave, I won’t let go
Without you
I don’t see the life I love
Without you
I won’t escape
Does love save us all?
Do the fairy tales believe it?
Does love make us fall
But won’t pick up the pieces?
I won’t escape
I can’t escape
Without you.
