What Are You Leaving Behind Lyrics

Don't look at me like that, you know how hard I'm tryin'
You'd love to see me give it up, give it up
Even if sometimes I want to, but that's not really up to you
And what happens to the soul that burns between two fires?
Are we grains of sand that slip between the cracks of time?
Will you smoulder or go down in flames?
Will you carry on your name?

'Cause I know what it feels like to wanna walk away
When nothing feels right, not enough to make you stay
How can we decide what's wrong and what's right?
To live on your knees and stray from the light
Who are you? What are you leaving behind?
What are you leaving?

They say you can skip the line if you've got the money to play
But our stock only rises if we're on fire, burn it away
Are we enlightened or deranged?
I think the message stays the same
How can I promise I will change?
Nothing ever seems to go my way
How come every single time I pray
I feel like a bird inside a cage
I just wanna feel like I'll be saved

'Cause I know what it feels like to wanna walk away
When nothing feels right, not enough to make you stay
How can we decide what's wrong and what's right?
To live on your knees and stray from the light
Who are you? What are you leaving behind?

I wish I could see what you see in me
But I'm blinded by my own regrets
Don't see the value in my suffering
But it's all that I have left (All that I have left)

'Cause I know what it feels like to wanna walk away
When nothing feels right, not enough to make you stay
How can we decide what's wrong and what's right?
To live on your knees and stray from the light
Who are you? What are you leaving behind?
