Left Behind

-----------------

I'm flying on the wings of a fallen angel

Not really sure where he's taking me

But it's gotta be better than where I was before

Because compared to that, this is ecstasy.

With the wind ripping through my soul

It's like a whole new life has begun

One breath lost in the rush of it all

But the pain still can't be outrun.

I made a thousand paper cranes

And wished on every shooting star

But nothing in my power could save you

From smoking the devil's cigar.

So I find ways to lose myself in nothing

That way I won't remember your touch

My burning beacon in the dark

It hurts because I miss you too much.

Now I'm a solitary poster child

For all that can go wrong to a person

Left to rise from the ashes of you

Being far from you makes the burden worsen.

For what I gave this is what I get

My virgin heart has been fully ravaged

Left alone to sew back the pieces

Torn up, spit on, cheated and savaged

Perhaps my journey from heaven to hell

Will ultimately bring me back to you

I hate to believe that you're suffering

But I want you to want to need me too.
