Leaving

I left a note I wrote It said that I was leaving I said the game is not the same I've had enough The page was stained From where the teardrops fell I fought and walked my way through Hell But in the end I guess I'm just not tough enough Drove to the place That overlooks our history Turned the engine off And looked down at my phone The messages came burning in So I just turned it off again They'll all be better off here When I'm gone Then a voice came through the radio Saying let's just try to take this slow You ain't finished here It's not your time to go Stop carrying the weight it said The devil gets inside your head Be still and know The best is yet to come So I'm leaving the burdens here And I'm leaving the past just where it All belongs behind In a life now redefined And I'm leaving the anger here Gonna catch my breath And wipe my tears Set the baggage down Leave it all here now Love will show me how I wake and face the man Still in my mirror And I think I finally like the man I see My scars have taught me well That I had to walk through Hell To become the man That I was meant to be But I'm glad that I'm still here And I let go of the fear That I don't deserve The best of what's to comes Stop carrying the weight it said The devil gets inside your head Be still and know The best is yet to come So I'm leaving The burdens here And I'm leaving The past just where It all belongs behind With a life now redefined I'm leaving the anger here Catch a breath and wipe the tears Set the baggage down Leave it all here now The snares of it encompassed me Felt a weight I couldn't see Clicked the switch To hear just one last song Stop carrying the weight it said The devil gets inside your head Be still and know The best is yet to come
