[Verse 1]
You pose resilience to reality
Oh, as if it would
Betray your feelings for your heritage
Yet you heed your friend's persuasive melodies
Oh, they sound so good
My final chorus rings "don't follow me"

[Chorus]
Please leave me be, don't follow me
Please leave me be, don't follow me
Please leave me be, don't follow me

[Verse 2]
Why has one earned such a haunting
When we both can see
Divergence warrants no hostility
We glean no joyous affirmation
From our quarantine
This path concludes with nothing shimmering

[Chorus]
Please leave me be, don't follow me
Please leave me be, don't follow me
Please leave me be, don't follow me
Please leave me be, don't follow me
Please leave me be, don't follow me
Please leave me be, don't follow me
