lyrics

If you’re leaving me please wait until the morning
Just for one last time pretend that it’s alright
You can walk out when the autumn sun is dawning
But please don’t leave me in the darkness of the night
Please don’t leave me in the darkness of the night
I often feel like life is dealing me the joker
But I sometimes fail to see the funny side
You said we’d both look back and laugh when this was over
But now it’s over no-one’s laughing, well you lied
Now it’s over no-one’s laughing, well you lied
I know that this is not the way you planned it out to be
And different people rarely share one individual dream
I held you close and closed my eyes and cried “This isn’t happening to me”
This isn’t happening to me, this isn’t happening to me
Would you listen to the orchestra crescendo
Would you listen to the band play on and on
Let this music be a spiritual memento
For when the flesh and bone of you and I are gone
For when the flesh and bone of you and I are gone
Well we’ve all been told that nothing lasts forever
And that’s a fact of life that isn’t lost on me
But if you look back with spite then please remember
This was not the way it always had to be
This was not the way we always had to be
I know that there is warmth and goodness deep inside your heart
But that won’t help you when life tears your whole damn soul apart
Your wounds are open now and I can see the things you truly are
The things you truly are, oh yeah, the things you truly are
‘Cause baby you’re flesh and bone
Baby you’re flesh and bone,
Just like me, just like everyone
Baby you’re flesh and bone
Baby you’re going home
Just like me, just like everyone
I know that flesh and bone is all we really ever are
But my how we have grown, at least we made it through this far
There’s nothing half as real as the blood from my fingers
That drips onto my guitar
