PrinceWhateverer - Left Behind

For so many years

You kept us safe here

Where did you go?

Where did you go?

Day after day its all the same

Since you've been gone we're just a name

The apple trees you planted

Leave me so disenchanted

Time after time I'll overhear

"Why'd mom and dad disappear?"

It's hard to fake a smile

When you've drowned in denial

I'm drowning in denial

The years that we've been here waiting

For you to come back were all a waste

You left us alone here

Leaves fall year after year

The days that we stood here wishing

To see you again were all in vain

I never got to say goodbye

You left us all behind

You left us all behind

How can you be so blind

How can you tell me it's fine

To wake up one day and find

Now you're gone

Now you're gone

With every breath you used to say

"We'll be home soon we're on our way"

It's hard to fake a smile

Believe my own denial

The years that we've been here waiting

For you to come back were all a waste

You left us alone here

Leaves fall year after year

The days that we stood here wishing

To see you again were all in vain

I never got to say goodbye

Goodbye!
