[Verse 1]
I'm leaving by night
I'm leaving alone
Leaving you lie
When you waken I'll be gone
I would not beg for me
As I could not beg for you
Though I'd like to be the one
To see you through

[Verse 2]
Every step you have taken
Disappears with the tide
You're torn up and shaken
With changing your mind
You haven't got the grace
To say you'll finally decide
And you haven't got the strength
To stay to fight

[Bridge]
Those people who surround you
Only want to see you weak enough to crawl
They'll lie for you, they decidе for you
And buy up all your rights and all your wrongs
And they'll try and stop your singing
In the middle of your song
For thеy do not want you free
They will not make you strong
But only drag you down
In the hole they're coming from
[Verse 3]
They say you are foolish
For wanting the sun
They call you selfish
For learning to run
They'll tell you that the darkness
Is a blessing in disguise
You never have to notice
If you're sighted or you're blind
And they'll do their best
To keep you from the light

[Verse 4]
You're more than beginning
You're learning to fly
Feels like you're falling
But it passes in time
And I hate to see a friend
Go down in flames without a song
So I'm waiting by the doorway
But I will not linger long

[Verse 1]
I'm leaving by night
I'm leaving alone
And I'm leaving you lie
When you waken I'll be gone
I would not beg for me
As I would not beg for you
But I'd like to be the one
To see you through
