The Things I Left Behind Lyrics

THE THINGS I LEFT BEHIND

I know there's no way back

And sometimes I can live with that

It's what we all must do to get along

But in the frozen morning

No feeling of belonging

I'm picking up the pieces of this song

I can grow on past this place

I can find a different face

And make up what's important as I go

But I'll know that I'm just lying

There's so many things I'm hiding

And oh, so little that I really know

I want to climb inside your walls

And to feel the way I did

Back when I was just a kid and you were here

I want to hide inside the Christmas tree

If just inside my mind

Somehow, I hope that you can see

I'm looking for the things I left behind

I know it shouldn't matter

Everybody's lives get shattered

And we think we put the pieces back somehow

But if it's without you

It really can't ring true

And I can tell that I don't know what I'm doing now

I want to climb inside your walls

And to feel the way I did

Back when I was just a kid and you were here

I want to hide inside the Christmas tree

If just inside my mind

Somehow, I hope that you can see

I'm looking for the things I left behind
