Left Yourself Before by Emily Leontine

Lyrics

LEFT YOURSELF BEFORE
© Fabian Faupel, 2010

Verse 1:
Desillusion in the middle of the night
How come I feel so lonely
A chilly breeze that slightly freshens up my mind
Do I just perceive it solely

I’m feeling you
Or the one you did escape from

Old ideas that have been hidden in the dark
Tenaciously still haunt me

Do you dream of older days
Ain’t you crying but defying all the sadness that stayed

Bridge 1:
Now I look up to the stars
And our story’s just as far
But does this shimmering light
Still hold any life ?

Chorus:
Baby whereever your walked from
You passed a second door
Trust me, whenever you took off
You’ve left yourself before
I can’t find you no more.

Verse 2:
Many glittering nights went by ever since
With different friends and lovers

Either joyful, whimsical or just sad
and the days unceasingly coloured

And I know you lived the same
But now your sailing on new oceans and your language got strange

Bridge 2:
You’re
Like a flip book in my hand
Or a movies’ sad end
From the start to the names
I’m just in love with your first frames

Chorus

Middle Eight:

But from the first to the very last kiss
Your nature gave me magnificent bliss
That would never last
Untouchable past
It sure was a blast
It left us too fast
Untouchable past

Verse 3, Chorus 2x, Verse 3
