I Didn't Know How to Leave (Live) Lyrics

There's a little white house

There's a barn on fire

There's something strange floating around

Eating it's way inside

The walls are hung

With all that's left

And her daughter comes 'round

She does her best

There's ghosts in her heart

And a skeleton down the hall

And he's always there

He makes her small

I

I didn't know how to leave

Didn't know how to leave

Didn't know how to leave

I

I didn't know how to leave

Didn't know how to leave

Didn't know how to leave

He's a thorn in her side

And a mask across her eyes

And she sits, she sits, she sits and stares

But he doesn't care, he doesn't care

Now she's sad, she's old and lonely

He's still there, he keeps controlling

And she wanders, she falls

Down at the foot of her bed

And prays to God, I

I didn't know how to leave

Didn't know how to leave

Didn't know how to leave

I

I didn't know how to leave

Didn't know how to leave

Didn't know how to leave

But I

I break through the wall

Lay waste to it all

Cast a light over all that I've lost

And somewhere I find

A piece of the mind

All the love, all the hope left behind, I

I didn't know how to leave

Didn't know how to leave

Didn't know how to leave

I didn't know how to leave

Didn't know how to leave

Didn't know how to leave

I guess I shoulda known

I guess I shoulda known

I guess I shoulda known

I guess I shoulda known
