I wrote a letter
but I tore the page We built a kingdom then we locked
the cage
Just one mistake and now the shadows grow
And I am shivering in the afterglow
And all my old scars are starting to show
My heavy heart has nowhere left to go (ahhh)
Oh, before I leave,
before I fade away
I wanted to find the words I couldn't say
I broke your trust
to shield my fragile pride
And now I'm drowning in the rising tide We shared a lifetime
in a single glance But I was blinded by a desperate dance
I feared the dark
and so I threw a spark
And left us staring
at a bitter mark
And all my old scars are starting to show
My heavy heart has nowhere left to go
Oh, before I leave,
before I fade away
I wanted to find the words I couldn't say
I broke your trust to shield my fragile pride
And now I'm drowning in the rising tide
I was always terrified of losing you
So I wrecked the only sacred thing I knew
(forgive me)
Oh, before I leave,
before I fade away!
I wanted to find the words I couldn't say!
I broke your trust
to shield my fragile pride!
And now I'm drowning in the rising tide! (noooo)
I'm so sorry... Before I leave...
