lyrics

She tries to shut him up in a shoebox in a drawer in the hall
So that the only trace is an empty space
And the hole where he hung on the wall

She says that he doesn’t upset her
I find it hard to believe
Whenever he comes up she closes down
She says that she just wants to leave

Leave him alone
Leave him alone
Leave him alone
Leave him alone

Last night I heard her talking at 3 AM asleep in my arms
I heard her mutter his name like a sad refrain
To the years that only faded the harm

I thought how she had to watch as he slipped into an endless sleep
She buried him down
But he’s still around in her head and she just can’t leave

Leave him alone
Leave him alone
Leave him alone
Leave him alone

I wish I could just forget him let him dim like a dying day
In the glare of the light nothing looks right
All the colors here are turning to gray

I’m digging him out of his box, looking at the man before me
He’s a shadow he’s a ghost he’s the one she loves most
And I try but I just can’t leave
