Keep Me Safe

The clock is ticking down
Like a hammer to my skull
And I can't stop it now
It's like the harder that I pull

The shorter every minute seems
Counting til the moment that you leave

My body pressed down flat
All my weight on the minute hand
But when it finally snaps
Who knows where I'm gonna land

Floating in your memory
I'm not as weightless as I seem

I just want you to be happy
But I don't know where that leaves me
Yeah I just want you to be happy
But I don't want you to leave me

You've got a storm to rage
But I'm still locked outside
And you can't slow your pace
So there's nowhere I can hide

Thunder when your engine starts
Washed away, I'm torn apart

I just want you to be happy
But I don't know where that leaves me
Yeah I just want you to be happy
But I don't want you to leave me

Who's gonna keep me safe when you're gone?
Who's gonna keep me sane?
Who's gonna keep me safe when you're gone, when you're gone, when you're gone, when you're gone

I just want you to be happy
But I don't know where that leaves me, leaves me
Yeah I just want you to be happy, happy, happy
I don't want you to leave me
