Leave a Piece Behind

Lay down your head and rest your eyes
And I will meet you in the morning light
A new day dawning just like the one before
Keep your hopes up tall and your worries short

You’ve got no reason to ever be afraid
Cause when you’re younger life’s just a game you play
I’m getting older my armor’s wearing thin
No longer able to pretend the game won’t end

So If I don’t wake up
It’s not my love that leaves you
Just an empty cup
That you can burry in the ground
When I close my eyes
I can’t promise that they’ll open
If my soul takes flight
I will leave a piece behind

Life is long son until it is cut short
Time is borrowed time cannot be bought
So use it wisely try not to spend that much
On anything except your dreams and the ones you love

So If I don’t wake up
It’s not my love that leaves you
Just an empty cup
That you can burry in the ground
When I close my eyes
I can’t promise that they’ll open
If my soul takes flight
I will leave a piece behind
