Leave You Behind

Time after time, I've compromised
To be the person you want me to be
Trusted you, now I see, I don't need you, you need me

You would let us both drown
I lift you up and you drag me down
We were family, bathed in gold
You sank down then your skin turned cold

Digging, always digging
Your well of sympathy
When I try to help you
You never fail to hurt me

Memories overpowered, strangled by weeds
Remains picked to pieces, just let me grieve
Our trust has been devoured, the marrow sucked clean
You germinate
Cancer grows from the seed

You won't manipulate me
Said it's over, you're clean
No healing scars, just salting wounds
I don't believe you

Salvation denied
Cut the root of the tumor inside
Salvation denied
Cut the root of the tumor inside

Parasite
I cut you off
I refuse to be tied to you as you rot

Parasite

No healing scars, just salting wounds
I lost sight through the darkness around you (through the darkness around you)

You stay in the ditch
Chained to your vice
You choose to decompose
I choose to leave you behind (I choose to leave you behind)

You stay in the ditch
Chained to your vice
You choose to decompose
I choose to leave you behind

(I choose to leave you behind)
(I choose to leave you behind)
