PrinceWhateverer - Left Behind lyrics

For so many years you kept us safe here
Where did you go?

Day after day it's all the same
Since you've been gone we’re just a name
The apple trees you planted
Leave me so disenchanted

Time after time I'll overhear
"Why'd mom and dad disappear?"
It’s hard to fake a smile
When you've drowned in denial

I'm drowning in denial

The years that we've been here waiting
For you to come back were all a waste

You left us alone here
Leaves fall year after year

The days that we stood here wishing
To see you again were all in vain

I never got to say goodbye
You left us all behind

You left us all behind
How could you be so blind

How can you tell me it's fine
To wake up one day and find that you're gone
Now you're gone

With every breath you used to say
"We'll be home soon we’re on our way"
It’s hard to fake a smile
Believe my own denial

The years that we've been here waiting
For you to come back were all a waste

You left us alone here
Leaves fall year after year

The days that we stood here wishing
To see you again were all in vain

I never got to say goodbye

Goodbye!
