If You Leave (Early Version) Lyrics

I'm sorry if you leave

But I will understand

I'm not the same at night

I'm only half of what I am

Haunted by the night

I will sit up wondering

Whatever happened to the dream

I always wondered in

Dreams are what we need to be alive

Because when we die, we dream of life

Our broken bones are cast in lullabies

Your skin will scream

Your heart will break

You'll seem desperate

The tacks you put under your skin

Will learn to separate

I'm sorry if you leave

But I'll understand

I'm not the same at night

I'm only half of what I am

Haunted by the night

I will sit up wondering

Whatever happened to the dream

I always wondered in

Tell myself that I'm alright so when you ask

I deflect

There's nothing wrong with me apart from my unseen birth defect

Dreams are what we need to be alive

Because when we die, we dream of life

Our broken bones are cast in lullabies

Your skin will scream

Your heart will break

You'll seem desperate

The tacks you put under your skin

Will learn to separate

Dreams are what we need to be alive

Because when we die, we dream of life

Our broken bones are cast in lullabies
