Left Behind - Bonfires

I used to know a story from when I was a kid

About the messes you made and all the things that you did

To push through all the boundaries and set yourself apart

Is it worth it looking back knowing you would fall apart?

Tell me one last time that everything will be just fine

Take me back to when we used to know each other’s secrets

When we would joke about the things that I forgot to say

I still see your face in every passing stranger

But do you still see mine, or did you lose it when you left me behind?

Three years later, you packed up and moved away

Leaving everything we ever knew crashing in your wake

I’ve finally learned to stay above the waves

But the current is pulling me down, and I think I’ll stay

I’m slowly drowning and I finally feel okay

Take me back to when we used to know each other’s secrets

When we would joke about the things that I forgot to say

I still see your face in every passing stranger

But do you still see mine, or did you lose it when you left me behind?

I like to think that you still check in

And I hope to God that you’ll come around again

I like to think that you still check in

And I hope to God that you’ll come around again

I like to think that you still check in

And I hope to God that you’ll come around again

I like to think that you still check in

And I hope to God that you’ll come around again

Take me back to when we used to know each other’s secrets

When we would joke about the things that I forgot to say

I still see your face in every passing stranger

But do you still see mine, or did you lose it when you left me behind?

You left me behind

You left me behind
