Everybody Leaves Lyrics

Harper Lee Everybody Leaves

how long have i sat and tried
to work out where i’ve gone in life
people say we dragged ourselves down
is this the comfort that i crave
that whilst you’re lost i know you’ll stay
left brutally bound
because everybody leaves
i was too damn dumb to give you up
i’m sorry if i scared you off
if my honesty let me down
this was the future that i feared
that those you need just disappear
they turn and they’re gone
they turn and they’re gone
but if i’m wrong
if i’m wrong
talk me down
please stay around
because everybody leaves
please stay around
