Every step you have taken disappears with the tide
You haven't got the grace to say you'll finally decide
You feel like you're falling but it passes in time
You're more than beginning, you're learning to fly
So I'm waiting by the doorway but I will not linger long
I hate to see a friend go down in flames without a song
Say you are selfish in learning to run
I would not beg for me as I would not beg for you
And you haven't got the strength to stay and fight
And buy up all your rights and all your wrongs
Though I'd like to be the one to see you through
But only drag you down in the hole they're coming from
They'll lie for you, decide for you
I'm leaving it lie, when you waken I'll be gone
For you never have to notice if you're sighted or you're blind
For they do not want you free and they do not make you strong
I would not beg for me as I could not beg for you
And they'll tell you that the darkness is a blessing in disguise
Those people who surround you
They say you are foolish in wanting the sun
Only want to see you weak enough to crawl
And they'll do their best to keep you from the light
And they'll try to stop your singing in the middle of your song
You're torn up and shaken with changing your mind
And I'm leaving by night, I'm leaving alone
