Don't Leave Me Behind was one of the first songs I ever posted. It's a really personal song to me. It's from the perspective of someone who nearly lost someone to suicide and how they felt. It has a current - future - current verse pattern, I'll post the lyrics below. Hope you enjoy :)
Lyrics:
It's 4am, everyone's in their beds and you're wondering what you should do
Take a breath, close your eyes, please don't leave me behind
"I've got nothing to lose"
But now you do
Please don't leave me behind
I know we feel like we don't really belong but you'll always have a place in my home
If the dark is blinding just know you're not alone
You're losing your grip and you're starting to fall
And you think you're alone but I'm calling you home
The world chewed you up and now you feel so small
I'll talk you down if you return my call
Now all you see is black but I see red and blue
And I'm praying you can hear me as I'm calling out to you
Now it's, 4am everyone's in their beds and I'm wondering what I should do
Take a breath, see your eyes, cry a little tonight
You had so much to lose
I miss you
Please return to my side
I know we feel like we don't really belong but you'll always have a place in my home
If the dark is blinding just know you're not alone
You're losing your grip and you're starting to fall
And you think you're alone but I'm calling you home
The world chewed you up and now you feel so small
I'll talk you down if you return my call
Now all you see is black but I see red and blue
And I'm praying you can hear me as I'm calling out to you
Now it's, 4am everyone's in their beds and you're wondering what you should do
Take a breath, close your eyes, please don't leave me behind
You've got so much to lose
You know you do
Please don't leave me behind
Please don't leave me behind
Please don't leave me behindmore
