Description
~Left Behind~

What I left behind won't follow me to the end of the line,
Friends and lovers came and went and I had to learn to live alone,
I turned my back on the world when it betrayed me too many times,

Walked through the darkness with only the stars as my light,
The sounds of the night as my praises,
What I could reach out and touch, I took,

I couldn't resist weighing myself down,
I couldn't let go and now I have nothing,
Nothing but the journey along this lonely road,

Everything I missed were only memories,
Every day got easier and I walked a little further,
Always afraid of a future I couldn't see, who or what was waiting for me,

Some things refused to stay behind,
Some of me followed, too,
I thought of what I would find and suddenly wasn't lonesome,

Stumbled upon all those who got there before me,
Didn't find any peace or forgiveness for myself,
I left behind the end of the road and kept on walking.
