EN
And you see that you're leaving And you that you're gone And you see there's no saying goodbye All the trees in mourning The light is late from the sun Casting shadow on shadow down from the sky And it's hard not to want to turn around And it's hard not to want to back on down We're only as strong as our hearts within Only as strong And all you know of where the road goes Is some place far and unknown You would think You would have gotten used to it all by now But each day it just gets harder Every journey alone Never knowing if you'll make it Back home somehow And it's hard not to want to turn around And it's hard not to want to back on down We're only as brave as we think we are Only as brave And it's hard not to want to turn it down For some guaranteed, soul crushing Merry-go-round It would have driven you Straight into the ground Driven your down And the three greatest gifts of moving on Are forgiveness, hope and the great beyond After that perhaps peace can come Peace will come And you see that you're leaving... And you see that you're gone...
