Don't Leave Me

Don’t Leave Me
Music and Lyrics by Rusty Lewis, ©2008

I’ve been better – I’ve felt worse
I’ve been blessed – but now I’m only cursed
Hide in the shadows or crawl into the light
Find a way so I don’t have to be alone tonight

Don’t leave me – Don’t leave me on my own

Like a coward, I wear a mask of false bravado
If I make it through tonight – then screw tomorrow
Pray for a miracle to wash away my crimes
No one ever had to pay back borrowed time

Don’t leave me – Don’t leave me on my own

Keep a silent vigil – till the morning comes
Wait a few more minutes – another chance to see the rising
Sunlight – Illuminate my choices
(A) solitary life – fragments of forgotten voices

Don’t leave me – Don’t leave me on my own - tonight
