Leave Something Behind

Terrified of everything in my life and
You're always told don't ever look back and
You can get caught out in the distance glancing at the car in your rear view mirror
At the past and all the half sunk memories
That slipped away without a trace or a sighting
Nobody cared, nobody believed you
The scary thing tho is when nobody wants you

I blew it like a candle she went out
And everything around without a shadow of doubt
I came so close with something, she went far
The only thing left was my old friend the guitar
I left a packet of songs she left a scatter of rain
At the end of the day there was nothing else to gain
Come back in the new year and see what you find
I might not be here but I'll leave something behind

Don't claim to be in anyway different
If you want to stand out you better step in line and
Put on your jumper, place your hands inside your tracksuit
As all the kids around here are starting to look the same
They all share the same set of interests
I walk around and I try to figure out that
'If I am doing it wrong, is that the reason I know'
I'm not one of them and that's the reason that I

Blew it like a candle she went out
And everything around without a shadow of doubt
I came so close with something, she went far
The only thing left was my old friend the guitar
I left a packet of songs she left a scatter of rain
At the end of the day there was nothing else to gain
Come back in the new year and see what you find
I might not be here but I'll leave something behind

And a 50 day streak was the story, 'I'll try a little bit harder if I get a next time'
As everything changes in the blink of an eye
Be sure to take photos, after the moment it dies

I blew it like a candle she went out
And everything around without a shadow of doubt
I came so close with something, she went far
The only thing left was my old friend the guitar
I left a packet of songs she left a scatter of rain
At the end of the day there was nothing else to gain
Come back in the new year and see what you find
I might not be here but I'll leave something behind
