I Can't Leave You Behind

It’s three AM, Friday night,
And my eyelids just won't fall.
Why am I cursed, why won’t it stop?
Your face, your body, on every wall.
No matter where I look,
no matter where I turn,
I see your eyes,
And my insides burn.

*chorus*
*I can’t get you outta my head,
I can’t get you outta my mind,
No matter where I go,
No matter how I try,
I can’t leave you behind.
Your image always haunts me,
These feelings, they won’t leave me.
No matter where I go,
No matter how I try,
I can’t leave you behind.*

It’s two days later,
Late afternoon,
I’m sittin on the roof,
Just watin for the moon.
As I gaze at the stars,
They penetrate my soul,
Discovering what I feel,
And what I feel is outta control.

*Chorus*

I don’t know how much longer,
I can take it,
How much longer,
I can fake it.
It’s getting to me,
It’s eating away
The depths of my soul
into disarray.

If I can’t have you, If I can’t hold you
I don’t know what I’m gonna do.
I might die, I might leave
But never, now, will I believe
That you will ever love me, hon,
Now I know I’m not the one.

*chorus*x2

Why are the fates so cruel?
Why must they make me their fool?
They chew me up and spit me out,
only to put me into another bout/

What do they have against me?
Why can’t they leave me be?
They toss me and turn me,
they hurt me and burn me,
They give me the world,
only to take it away.
