Leaving The Boys Behind

Take one

Tell your father not to Devestate you
When you get free
Pledging my allegiance, to your freedom
I turn 23
Would you pat me on my back if I really make it
It's unlikely
And by the time you're well, I'll be in hell
Or I'll be curled up around your feet

You leave me with no choice
But to leave the boys behind

For now I grit my teeth and get on with breaking
Through your picket line
Somehow I always end up
Colorblind 'neath the golden sky
A wife to a dead husband, an empty husk
I'd rather die
Lately I'm not really thinking about that stuff
And feeling fine

You leave me with no choice
But to leave the boys behind

Or change my name to nothing, just to see
The look in your eyes
That was only yesterday when I bought a coffin
To your delight
And you were saying that's all cool but
Never pull that shit again
But if not then tell me, my darling tell me
Tell me when

You leave me with no choice
But to leave the boys behind

I caught my own reflection, and made the correction
To my face
If you're not right here with me, then I still go by
That wretched name
My faith lies in tatters, I'm getting fatter
On my last life
So this must be that place, that cursed place
Where all of the good things go
To die

Come back here
Come back here
Come back here
Finish what you started
Come back here
Finish what you started
Come back here
Finish what you started
Come back here
Finish what you started
