[Verse 1]
My life not long
I'll die in peace
And leave you
With my heart and soul
Forever
The time I have lost
The past still haunts me
But now I'm letting go
So much more I want
I want
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd rather hide in sorrow
And keep the light on inside your world
Everything I love, I don't deserve
And now I know that
[Chorus]
I... I'll feel better when it's over
Look in my eyes
Looking back on all the sacrifice
In the end, what really mattered?
All of the times (Times)
The loss and thе life (Life)
I'll go now and leavе hell behind
[Verse 2]
The light is on
To lead your way
From all I've given up
In time, we sever
What's mine is yours
The path we make
Is the life we take
Who really knows for sure
Just how long, how long?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd rather hide in sorrow
And keep the light on inside your world
Everything I love, I don't deserve
And now I know that
[Chorus]
I... I'll feel better when it's over
Look in my eyes
Looking back on all the sacrifice
In the end, what really mattered?
All of the times (Times)
The loss and the life (Life)
I'll go now and leave hell behind
No way of killing me
[Bridge]
Reach in over my space
When's the reckoning
Coming for the shit I believe
Feeling overwhelming
Where's the compassion for the innocent?
I'm sick with your disease
[Refrain]
The light is on
To lead your way
From all I've given up
[Chorus]
I... I'll feel better when it's over
Look in my eyes
Looking back on all the sacrifice
In the end, what really mattered?
All of the times (Times)
The loss and the life (Life)
I'll go now and leave hell behind
[Chorus]
I... I'll feel better when it's over
Look in my eyes
Looking back on all the sacrifice
In the end, what really mattered?
All of the times (Times)
The loss and the life (Life)
I'll go now and leave hell behind
No way of killing me

Clint Lowery:
The title is very literal – it’s a song about leaving. You can’t live on your glory days, and you can’t demonise yourself for your darker days. You have to just move on, become the person that you are today and be the best person you can. You have to take those experiences and push th...
