Leaving To Stay

Leave my coat on the rack
And my voice is still speaking in the chair where I sat
With my clothes and my hat
I left them here waiting so you'd know I'd come back
Leave my bag by the door, but one day I won't have to do that
And I slept on the floor never asked for no more and I waited my turn while my world starts to burn without you

One day mine will be ours
And I'll look out the window to see kids in the yard
Oh to be young and not care bout the thousands of fights to be had
And the bills to be paid on time
And just when you think that you've got it real bad
You'll look up to find that you'll miss what you had without me

Now the good days are gone
And we all tried our best but they never last long
But it wasn't our fault
It's just how it goes when you always get caught
Cause you follow the trends and don't stop to once give it a thought
Cause we tried all the talking to end up withdrawing
As we dance in the ballroom, throw all the guests in the fire
Don't you know love always expires
