Leaving Lyrics

I left a note I wrote

It said that I was leaving

I said the game is not the same

I've had enough

The page was stained

From where the teardrops fell

I fought and walked my way through Hell

But in the end I guess

I'm just not tough enough

Drove to the place

That overlooks our history

Turned the engine off

And looked down at my phone

The messages came burning in

So I just turned it off again

They'll all be better off here

When I'm gone

Then a voice came through the radio

Saying let's just try to take this slow

You ain't finished here

It's not your time to go

Stop carrying the weight it said

The devil gets inside your head

Be still and know

The best is yet to come

So I'm leaving the burdens here

And I'm leaving the past just where it All belongs behind

In a life now redefined

And I'm leaving the anger here

Gonna catch my breath

And wipe my tears

Set the baggage down

Leave it all here now

Love will show me how

I wake and face the man

Still in my mirror

And I think I finally like the man I see

My scars have taught me well

That I had to walk through Hell

To become the man

That I was meant to be

But I'm glad that I'm still here

And I let go of the fear

That I don't deserve

The best of what's to comes

Stop carrying the weight it said

The devil gets inside your head

Be still and know

The best is yet to come

So I'm leaving

The burdens here

And I'm leaving

The past just where

It all belongs behind

With a life now redefined

I'm leaving the anger here

Catch a breath and wipe the tears

Set the baggage down

Leave it all here now

The snares of it encompassed me

Felt a weight

I couldn't see

Clicked the switch

To hear just one last song

Stop carrying the weight it said

The devil gets inside your head

Be still and know

The best is yet to come
