Leave Me

Leave me, leave me

leave me alone

Leave me as I am

I wish you had left me

-as I was

But you left me

-left me, but not alone

You left

and became

someone else

Please be patient

patient with my heart

I don't want to know you

not so well

not when you're like hell

Leave me, leave me

leave me as I am

don't come back to see me

not until you bend

not until you've broken

Break, my dear, please break,

out of the old skin, into the new

I want to know, to know the new you

You heart is a mess, so leave me,

please, leave me alone.
