Leaving Me Behind

Many had told me and tried to explain
It would feel like the sunshine and summer rain
But nothing prepared me for you

I've always been careful, afraid of heights
Never a fan of the darkest night but i'll jump from star to star with you

With you i keep making the same old mistake
Maybe i don't want to learn
I'll make promises, plans, i was on the right track but you were a different turn
Don't thank me for being kind
If you're leaving me behind

I never thought i was very strong
But then i look back at the times i have tried to hold on
Hold on to you

My roots lie deep you're still up in the stars
This kind of love will always leave a scar it's true
Scar in the shape of you

With you i keep making the same old mistake
Maybe i don't want to learn
I'll make promises, plans, i was on the right track but you were a different turn
Don't thank me for being kind
If you're leaving me behind

Don't you feel just a little light-headed
Running around the truth
After all this time, after all my tears
You can no longer hide behind your youth
Don't thank me for being kind
If you're leaving me behind

With you i keep making the same old mistake
Maybe i don't want to learn
I'll make promises, plans, i was on the right track but you were a different turn
Don't thank me for being kind
If you're leaving me behind
